DLA For Sunday 040112

This week we have TWO Winners. I guess we should have two IWA Winners too.

Hey folks,

So we know Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, no I did not forget "Reverend," are looking for another 15 minutes and more Money. They are exploiting this tragic situation for their own gain. Can they tell me the Name of the White Kids that have been killed in this Country over the Past Week? There have been. Can they tell me the Names of the Black Kids that were killed in Gang Related Violence just this past two days? No? Can they tell us the Name of that Poor Innocent Jewish Girl that was hunted, chased down, pulled by her Ponytail, and Shot to death in France? Nope. Can they tell us the name of the White Girl that Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) was talking about? What about this? Can they tell me who James Cooper and James Kouzaris are?

Of course not. They do not care about them. They are too busy CREATING an atmosphere of Hate and Violence. They ARE. They are doing so, for nothing more than Fame and of course, more money. Obama is using this for Political Points. Even put the 2012 Re-elect Logo on Hoodies. Not kidding.

So now Al is calling for an "escalation" and a "move to the next level" if the Police do not Arrest Zimmerman. Now we just talked about all the insanity going on out there. 70 year old couple having to flee their Home. People being Shot to death by people wearing Hoodies. Property Damage and Harrassment of Innocent people. And Al is calling for a "move to the next level?"

Well, there are two people that have had enough. Our first Winner is someone I have never heard of before today. He is a Radio Talk Guy. I guess. His name is Todd Schnitt. He is calling for MSNBC to FIRE Al Sharpton, for what he calls, an attempt at inciting Violence. He also feels that he should be arrested if Riots break out. I agree. Al Sharpton IS using his Show to do exactly this. He IS stirring up strife and division. He WILL be responsible for further Violence that IS and WILL take place. He is USING his Show to do just that.

You know, it was funny to me that so many Liberals wanted Rush off the air for saying a Liberal Activist called herself a Slut, after she went on National Television and said she had so much sex she couldn't afford Contraceptives. But yet, no one is calling for Sharton to be Fired for inciting Violence and spreading Hate? Rush's Audience is bigger than ever, and he has even MORE Sponsors than ever. Just a little side note.

Then we have our SECOND Winner. One from a source I was actually SHOCKED to see. His name is Turner Clayton. Who is he? He is the Seminole County Chapter President of the NAACP. {Laughing} Yup. The NAACP. {The National Advancement of Colored People} According to WKMG Local 6 - Civil rights leaders condemn Sharpton's call for escalated civil disobedience

Turner Clayton, the Seminole County chapter president of the NAACP, reacted immediately to Sharpton's warning, saying, "We hope that the citizens of Sanford will govern themselves accordingly. We are not calling for any sanctions, against any business or anyone else. And, of course, what Rev. Sharpton does, that's strictly the [National] Action Network. We can't condone that part of the conversation, if that's what he said."

Clayton said he believes that the expected 3,000 people who will attend Saturday's march and rally in Sanford will realize the difference between Sharpton's message and the NAACP's mission.

"I don't think they can confuse that," Clayton said. "It's just that they will have to make a judgment as to whether they want to follow the mission of the NAACP or follow what the Rev. Sharpton said."

THANK YOU Mr. Clayton. You see, I have no problem with people Protesting and showing their disdain, or disagreement, with something going on. I really don't. But that is NOT what Al and Jesse are doing. Jesse is calling for Zimmerman to be Crucified. Al is calling for "Sanctions?" against WHO? Calling for a "move to the next level?" What exactly does he mean? Sounds like he is inciting Violence to me.

Congratulations to both of you. Mr. Clayton and Mr. Schnitt. For having the Intelligence and courage to stand up and call what is, IS, and call for sanity to prevail in the Insanity that is ever growing, you are BOTH the Winners of the Display of Logic Award for Today, Sunday, April 1st, 2012. I hope YOU and the people LIKE you, prevail against those that would further the divide for personal gain.

This one is too funny for me.

Hey folks,

It also puts to rest I'm wrong. The idea that what I and many others say about why purely STUPID people, not just ignorant, but STUPID people Voted for, and will Vote again for Obama. You remember 08 right? "He will pay my Mortgage. He will buy me a new Car. He will give me free stuff." Remember them? They are still out there. There are even more of them at that. Why? Because that is exactly what Obama wants. He wants STUPID Voters. People that rely on the Government for everything from Cradle to the Grave.

This is why all these Liberal Programs are out there. That is why Obamacare was so important to get passed. That is why Unemployment had to be extended. That's why Obama keep throwing Billions of Dollars away. He WANTS these people to believe he will give them free stuff.

Now this Video that is just out is setting the Liberal on fire. They are going nuts. This is a person they were happy with when she did her first Video showing Racism in the South. But now that she talked to some Welfare Recipients in New York, they can't attack her fast enough. Why? Because the Video tells you the TRUTH. It shows you, in their own words, just who it is that supports Obama. And Why. According to Newsmax - Pelosi's Daughter Enrages Left with Welfare Video Tuesday, 20 Mar 2012 02:31 PM By Martin Gould

Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, who courted conservative controversy with a video short showing the sometimes racist views of toothless Mississippi rednecks, has enraged liberals with a second video: New York welfare recipients.

But Alexandra Pelosi admits it wasn’t easy getting the video on television. “All the people I work with at HBO, all the people I grew up with, said, ‘You can’t put that on TV.’

“Somehow [I was] allowed to do it to the toothless rednecks, but when it was our neighbors, it was wait a second, they got defensive,” she told Bill Maher on his HBO show, “Real Time.”

The people Pelosi interviewed at a welfare office on New York City’s 14th Street, admit they don’t want a job, and support President Barack Obama “because he gives me stuff,” and “because he’s black.”

See? I told you that the vast majority of Americans that Voted for Obama, did so, because of the Historic Nature of the Election. The first Black President in History. Others will Vote for him THIS time, for no other reason than he's Black. Then you got these stupid people that are still waiting for theirs. They think if they give Obama another four years, he will finally get all the Rich People's Money and give it to them.

One man smokes and drinks Budweiser through a straw as he stands on line. He laughs as he admits to having five children by four different mothers. He tells Pelosi, “I’m here to get a check … whatever they’ve got to offer, it’s not like they’ve got a checklist … I’m just here to get what I can get.”

Pelosi was attacked by conservatives for being selective in the people she depicted in her video from Mississippi. One man in that video said, “This is America, our president should be American, not Muslim.”

Now in the Spirit of full disclosure, I never even heard of the first Video. But I want to see both. It goes on...

Alexandra Pelosi, the youngest of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s five children, admitted to Maher that she didn’t have to go far to speak to the people she called “freeloading welfare queens,” as the office is “right downstairs from where I live.”

She asks one man, “Why should I help you? Why should my tax dollars be going to you?” He responds, “Only because my ancestors came here to help build this place – my ancestors, the slaves.” He said the last time he worked was “half a decade” ago, and he wasn’t looking for a job – “maybe a career, but not a job.”

Another said he was on welfare “because of my background. Once you go to jail, it’s hard to get a job.” The only white person she interviewed, a young woman, said she was there to get food stamps. “It’s just food,” she said.

Pelosi said the film showed the entitlement culture is causing problems for the party her mother leads in the House. “We have to address the fact that this is why Democrats are losing ground. And this is a problem in America. The entitlement culture has gotten so big that we are losing our own people,” she said.

It's all by design. It's all being done on purpose. This is WHY they do not want the Unemployment numbers to go down too far. That is WHY they want $4.00 plus Gas. That is WHY they want people to feel entitled. They feel that they will not Vote them out if they think the new people will take their free stuff away.

The Emmy-nominated documentary maker also predicted outrage among her fellow liberals, saying she expected “a left-wing feeding frenzy” about her report.

Reaction to the video was swift.

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly said he would find a way to put the father-of-five in jail. He said Pelosi’s film showed “a subculture that says, ‘Look, I’m a victim, you owe me, and I’m going to support this president because he will deliver a bigger gift than the other guys will.’ ”

His guest on “The O’Reilly Factor,” political analyst Juan Williams said, “What we have to do is say, ‘You work in this country, this entitlement thing is a total bunch of baloney and it kills you.’ It hurts families, it hurts children, and children are the ones who really bear the brunt.

Yup. It's a simple concept. But they are MAD as hell folks. She hit a nerve.

Congratulations Ms. Pelosi, you are the Winner of the Display of Logic Award for Today, Sunday March 25th, 2012. For having the courage to produce this Video, knowing your Mom would have serious issues with it, you deserve the Award. For showing a bit of a balance in your reporting is also admirable.

A word of warning to ya MS Pelosi. You have shown the truth about Liberals and their policies. Good luck to ya. You should know by now, if you do things like the first Video, some on the Right will get angry. But if you do the same on the Left, they will attempt to DESTROY you. It matters NOT whom your Mom is. But thank you for your work.

Young Adults Understand MORE Than Their Partisan Parents

Turn off the News, put down the NYTs, open your eyes, look around.

Hey folks,

This coming November, most will go to the Polls and Vote Republican, because they associate themselves as Republicans. They will Vote Democrat, because they are Democrats. If their Mom and Dad were, then they are too. The sad truth is, they will Vote the way they always have, Whomever has a D or and R after their Name on the Ballot, that is who they will Vote for, even if they never heard the Name before.

They will Vote for this or that Policy Issue, based on what Mommy, Daddy, or what the NEWS says about it. Is it a Republican Bill or a Democrat Bill? Even if they never heard of an Initiative, they will see, "This was by Sen, or Rep, soandso- R or -D." They will hear how this initiative will Ban this or that, or allow this or that, even if it doesn't, and they will Vote how they are told to.

Some will go to the Polls believing whatever they just saw on the News or read in the paper. "The Economy is coming back. Jobs are improving. Housing is stabilizing. All is well." Even though, their Neighbor has not worked in Two Years. Even though they are under water with their Mortgage. Even though they have less money and are paying MORE at the Pump. They will Vote for Obama, because that is what they are told to do.

But then you have the people that actually DO understand what is going on. They HAVE looked around and saw Reality. They are going to go to the Polls and Vote a certain way, because they are LIVING Reality. The latest Polls tells us that the Majority of Americans are NOT happy with this Reality.

Now I understand what I'm about to talk about is Local. It's Missouri. But the numbers are AMAZING and not far off from the National Polls. It is a glimmer of Hope. It is the Reality that we ALL face. It is a sign the Young Adults may very well understand MORE than their Partisan Parents.

Here we go. There is this Group in Missouri called Generation Opportunity. They meet with, and listen to, young Business Leaders and Small Business Owners, and discuss current Issues. They have Ranked Gas Prices, Poor Economy, and Unemployment as top Issues. Look at these numbers.

•Just 31% of 18 – 29 year-olds approve of President Obama's handling of youth unemployment.
•69% say the current leadership in Washington fails to reflect the interests of the younger generation.
•69% prefer reducing federal spending over raising taxes on individuals in order to balance the federal budget.
•59% of overall Millennials agree the economy grows best when individuals are allowed to create businesses without government interference.
•70% would increase production of domestic energy sources like oil, natural gas, and coal.

Delayed Dreams from a Poor Economy and the Lack of Opportunity:

•77% of young people ages 18-29 either have or will delay a major life change or purchase due to economic factors: •44% delay buying a home;
•28% delay saving for retirement;
•27% delay paying off student loans or other debt;
•27% delay going back to school/getting more education or training;
•26% delay changing jobs/cities;
•23% delay starting a family;
•18% delay getting married.

This is the Future of our Country folks. Young people, of whom Obama had in his Pocket in 08, now are saying, uh, not this time. Not because they are Racist. Not because they are Stupid. Because they are LIVING Reality. These are people 18-29 years old, that say ENOUGH is ENOUGH. They are not buying the News. They are LIVING through Obama and his Policies. They are not liking it.

WASHINGTON, March 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Generation Opportunity's grassroots organizers were actively engaged in the "Show Me State" this week. The grassroots team met with and listened to a wide range of young adults including those working in the professions and the trades, entrepreneurs, community college and university students, young parents, and others who provided their personal stories on the issues that matter to them. Higher gas prices, the lack of economic opportunity, and historically high youth unemployment were discussed and identified as the top issues impacting young adults across all backgrounds and professions throughout Missouri.

"Surging gas prices, the lack of jobs, and the poor economy were significant issues of concern among young people in Missouri. Young adults who own small businesses, those who work in the professions and in the trades, young mothers, students, and those seeking jobs all raised these issues consistently. Missouri's young people have real, practical concerns about how they can make ends meet every week because of higher gas prices and even larger concerns about how their lives are being delayed by the poor economy," said Evan Flores, Director of Field Operations for Generation Opportunity. "Young people know the status quo is preventing many of them from finding full-time, meaningful work - we are dedicated to using our skills to mobilize our networks and communities to put America back on track."

Evan Flores is our winner of the Display of Logic Award this Week, and deserves it for not only stating the TRUTH, but actually attempting to do something about it.

Look folks, this IS Reality. Turn off the News, put down the NYTs, open your eyes, look around. Tell me what you see. LIVE Reality. Do not deny it because someone tells you it's not what it IS. I was just talking to someone yesterday who said she is Voting for Obama in November. I said WHY? She said, I'm a Democrat. I asked what about the Economy, Housing, Unemployment? her answer? She has a Job. Even though she is under water on her house, she is still making Payment on time, so no worries there. She believes what she sees on the Local News. We are coming back. Obama just needs more time to fix what Bush messed up. {Sigh}Here is someone that couldn't care less about Politics. She will go and Vote Obama because she is a Democrat. She doesn't take the time to look around and actually THINK about anything. As long as she has a Job, Home, and is told things are getting better, it's all good. She doesn't like $4.00 Gas, but there is nothing Obama can do about that. She was told so.

Truth is, it's NOT all good. Truth is, we can NOT afford another Four Years of this. Liberal Policies have put us where we are now. Liberal Policies will NOT get us out of it. They will DESTROY our already hurting Economy.

Keep up the good work Evan Flores, and all the folks at Generation Opportunity. You are not alone..

It is without a doubt, the Federal Government, NOT Texas, playing Politics with Poor Women's Healthcare.

Hey folks,

OK so we just talked about this. Texas does not allow Tax Payer Funding for Abortion. They do not allow Providers, can you say Planned Parenthood, that provide Abortions to receive Tax Money. They do not BAN these places, or hinder their Operation. If YOU choose to have an Abortion, you can go there and pay for it. It will be done. As long as the Murder of Innocent Lives is still legal in this Country, People like Planned Parenthood will still make a pile of money doing it.

This basic fact is the whole reason WHY it is Patently Absurd to think ANYONE would be attempting to ban Contraceptives. No one is. All this is, is, nonsenses and a distraction. They do not want you to talk about Obama's Record. They do not want you talking about Jobs, Housing, the National Debt, $5.00 a gallon gas. No. They do not want you talking about the Economy. They want you thinking and talking about how the GOP have this "War on Women." None of this is even remotely true.

In the next wave of BS, Obama and Crew announce that they will cut Funding going to Texas because Texas will not allow the money to pay for Abortion. Problem is, they never told Texas about this. Gov. Perry wins the Logic Award be telling it like it is.

Perry blasted Sebelius' announcement, insisting Medicaid rules give states the right to determine which clinics are qualified to provide women's health care.

"The fact that the Obama administration would announce its decision to deny care for more than 100,000 low-income women during a press event before giving official notice to the state is a clear demonstration of the political motivation behind this decision," he said in a written statement, adding that Texas officials are still waiting for official word on the decision.

There really is no other way to look at this. This is EXACTLY what Obama is doing. Playing Politics with the Health and Well being of those he CLAIMS to be all about helping.

Congratulations Gov. Perry, you are the Winner of the Display of Logic Award for today, Sunday, March 11th, 2012. Thank you for speaking the truth, and PLEASE, do not give in to this nonsensical Political pressure. Continue to stand for what the PEOPLE in Texas want. And they don't want this.

However Gov. Perry. There is something I would LOVE to ask you. Your Spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, Stephanie Goodman, just said this.

Stephanie Goodman, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, said money to pay for the program would be diverted from others that are under budget — though she didn't offer specifics. If that doesn't cover the costs, she said, the state would increase its deficit to pay for the services because officials believe that if low-income women don't have access to birth control, the birth rate would rise and cost the state another $57 million in maternity bills.

{Sigh} Abortion and Contraceptives SAVE the State Money? Children are a burden? Did she not just say this? Here is the problem if we accept the premise, which I do not, that this is Fact. Besides the fact that it is STILL not MY or YOUR responsibility to pay for it. This is a dangerous road for us to go down.

First, It would not cost the State, nor the Feral Government ANYHTING, if we did not have YEARS of failed Liberal Policies that destroyed the Traditional Family, and DECADES of training people to rely on Government from Cradle to the Grave. So? Have a kid, Government gives you more Money. Want an abortion, Government Pays for it. Because an Abortion is Cheaper than paying for a Kid. Diapers, Formula, Food, Education, Healthcare, ETC. Of course it is Cheaper to just KILL it before it grows.

To make a statement that sounds like something right out of Pelosi's Mouth. She advocates a China Like One Child Policy. They are using this to MANDATE that WE all collectively PAY for Contraceptives for people who STATE they have so much Sex they are going broke paying for their own.

Once we accept the Premise of Contraceptives and Abortion as Financial Necessity for the Country, and the Well Being for all, then we start down a dangerous road of acceptance of Abortion as nothing more than a Cost saving Medical Procedure, instead of seeing it for what it is, the Slaughter of an Innocent Life. Lets work on ways to make Child Care more affordable, and forget about finding money to Pay for other's personal responsibility. There are a lot of things the Government need not be throwing money away on. We can find the money without having to sell out our Principles.

Going against the Grain, and standing up for what you believe in, is ALWAYS Honorable.

Hey folks,

It was a truly sad day on Thursday when we learned of his Passing. The Internet and what has been deemed "The New Media" lost a true Champion for Truth and Reality. I know some of you are going to accuse me of giving an Obligatory Award because of his death. Perhaps they are right. However, I truly believe he deserves it. Going against the Grain, and standing up for what you believe in, is ALWAYS Honorable.

Here is a guy that grew up in a Liberal Household. Grew up in LA surrounded by Liberals and Card Carrying Members of the far Left LWL. But instinctively he knew something was not right. Something, or a lot of things, were not Logical, Truthful, or even CLOSE to what he KNEW was real. So he started doing what so many Liberals, and even those on the FAR Right, seem to lack the ability to do. THINK! Think for himself. Investigate the FACTS for himself. He decided that the Far Left Liberal Loonies was not for him.

He helped launch the Huffy {Huffington} Post. He helped the Drudge Report become what it is. He then decided to go his own way. He did what so many Bloggers and "New Media" people strive to do, and surpassed them all.

He is best known for exposing ACORN, reporting on Shirley Sherrod, and bringing down Anthony Weiner. But he was well known along Political Circles for a wide variety of reasons. Some loved him, some HATED him. But nearly all respected him for his courage to stand up for what he believed, and his ability to get the FACTS for what he was Investigating.

A Family man. A true seeker of TRUTH. A true defender of Logic and Reality. I never met the man. Although I did correspond with him once, and have used some of his stuff here over the years. He will TRULY be missed.

God Speed Andrew Brietbart. May his Family have the peace and comfort they need during this time. Thank you Sir. For all you did.

Standing up for Freedom and The First Amendment is ALWAYS Logical.

Hey folks,

I have been warning you about this for some time. I told you when it began. I told you that it was continuing. I told you HOW. Now, there is a group that is attempting to stop it.

The Winner of the Display of Logic Award is the person who said this..

“The Department of Homeland Security’s monitoring of political dissent has no legal basis and is contrary to core First Amendment principles. The language in the documents makes it quite clear that they are looking for media reports that are critical of the agency and the U.S. government more broadly. This is entirely outside of the bounds of the agency’s statutory duties.”

She is 100 percent right. It is a Direct Violation of the Constitution. It IS outside the bounds of the Agency's Authority. It is flat out Illegal. Where are all those that were so "outraged" with Bush's Warrantless Wire Taps? This is ten times worse.

According to Infowars.com - Group Forces Congressional Hearing On Big Sis’ Twitter, Drudge Spying By Steve Watson Infowars.com February 9, 2012

A privacy advocacy group has swayed Congress to hold a hearing next week into the Department of Homeland Security’s practice of monitoring social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, as well as media reports and organizations, including The Drudge Report.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) recently obtained close to 300 pages of documents, as a result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, detailing the federal agency’s “intelligence gathering” practices on the web.

Among the documents were guidelines from DHS instructing outside contractors to monitor the web for media reports and comments that “reflect adversely” on the agency or the federal government.

As Reuters reported last month, in early 2010 contractors were asked to spend 24 hours monitoring news media coverage on popular websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, WikiLeaks, as well as news sites including the Huffington Post and The Drudge Report.

Yeah, I told you about this also. It was not reported by most in the Mainstream Media. Many on Talk Radio even missed it. But YOU, being a true OPNer, were fully informed.

The contractors were required to provide the DHS with feedback on any potential “threats and hazards”, as well as “any media reports that reflect adversely on the U.S. Government and the Department of Homeland Security (D.H.S.) ability to prevent, protect and respond, to recovery efforts or activities related to any crisis or events which impact National Planning Scenarios.”

The documents also state that the program should highlight “both positive and negative reports on FEMA, C.I.A., C.B.P., ICE, etc., as well as organizations outside of D.H.S.”

The documents obtained by EPIC indicate that following the exercise, a procurement official awarded an $11.3 million contract to General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems in order to carry out the monitoring on a “24/7/365 basis”.

EPIC director Ginger McCall notes that monitoring what people are saying about government policies goes too far and has a chilling effect on free speech.

“The Department of Homeland Security’s monitoring of political dissent has no legal basis and is contrary to core First Amendment principles,” she said.

“The language in the documents makes it quite clear that they are looking for media reports that are critical of the agency and the U.S. government more broadly,” said McCall. “This is entirely outside of the bounds of the agency’s statutory duties.”

DHS officials have admitted that monitoring of social networks for negative opinion was undertaken by the agency, but claim that the operation was a one off test and was quickly dropped as it did not meet “operational requirements or privacy standards,” which “expressly prohibit reporting on individuals’ First Amendment activities.”

{Laughing} Translation? "Yeah were were doing it, but, uh, we were caught, so we 'dropped it.' Honest. Trust us."

EPIC argues otherwise and has presented evidence that suggests the practice is being held up by the DHS an an example that should be emulated.

“They are completely out of bounds here,” McCall said. “The idea that the government is constantly peering over your shoulder and listening to what you are saying creates a very chilling effect to legitimate dissent.

Yup. Any Russian friends out there? Remember whispering in the Bathroom? You get the point.

The Congressional hearing, DHS Monitoring of Social Networking and Media: Enhancing Intelligence Gathering and Ensuring Privacy, will be held Thursday February 16th.

However, it is already apparent where the House subcommittee for intelligence and counter-terrorism stands on the matter. As reported by Reuters, the top two members of the subcommittee, Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), wrote to DHS Intelligence Chief Caryn Wagner last month, pressing her to more carefully monitor users’ posts on sites such as Facebook and Twitter, in order to help detect “current or emerging threats.”

As we have also previously reported, The DHS has openly announced that it is actively monitoring social media for signs of “social unrest”, in a bid to pre-empt any sign of social dislocation within the United States.

Folks, this is what I'm warning you about. We are going down dangerous trails and our very Freedom hangs in the balance. Congratulations Ginger McCall, for recognizing the Threat, the courage to stand for the Truth and Freedom, you ARE the Winner of the Display of Logic Award for Today, Sunday, February 12, 2012. Standing up for Freedom and The First Amendment is ALWAYS Logical. It is always worthy of praise.

Just because he was not successful, doesn't mean he is wrong.

Hey folks,

Who said this, when talking about Obama?

“Over the last few weeks, he has done more to assault religion in this country than any president, certainly in recent history, maybe even in history. Jesus wasn't talking to the government. He wasn't talking that the government should take more from you. He was talking about your responsibility to your fellow man, your responsibility to God to provide for the least among us and not your responsibility to fund Caesar. That is a complete misinterpretation of the bible."

Now this was Rick Santorum in response to Obama's Idiotic Speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he attempted to use the Gospel of Luke to say that the Rich need to be Taxed more and Jesus would approve.

Obama actually said,

“Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required,”

His point is that you stupid people out there, you know, you Bitter Clingers, should interpret that to mean that Jesus would have wanted the Rich to pay Higher Taxes. They don't because they are Evil. That is what he wants the "Religious Freaks" the Poor Folks, to believe. The Rich are Evil, Obama has God on his side, and he is out to set you free.

However, what Santorum said is the TRUTH. Again?

“Over the last few weeks, he has done more to assault religion in this country than any president, certainly in recent history, maybe even in history. Jesus wasn’t talking to the government. He wasn’t talking that the government should take more from you. He was talking about your responsibility to your fellow man, your responsibility to God to provide for the least among us and not your responsibility to fund Caesar. That is a complete misinterpretation of the bible."

Rick?!? The Bible, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, The LAW? This President does NOT misinterpret things. He TWISTS them to attempt to get them to fit HIS agendas. He ignores them. He Violates them on a daily bases. He is not misinterpreting it by accident. He is doing it on purpose.

But Congratulations, for pointing out the Truth, you ARE the Winner of the Display of Logic Award for Sunday, February 5th, 2012. Thank you for standing up for the Truth.

For those of you out there that may not like this one, just remember this. Just because he was not successful, doesn't mean he is wrong. Just because he was not successful in running for the Presidency, doesn't mean he is not the best one for the Job, or that he doesn't know, understand, and is bold enough, to tell the Truth. Be right back.

The Entire GOP. Now lets hope they MEAN it...

Hey folks,


You know, I keep getting asked "Who are you going for in this Election." My answer is always the same. "ANYONE but Obama!" If a Sane Democrat jumped in, I would Vote for them. ANYONE but Obama. Just look around folks. Record High Unemployment. Record High Home Foreclosures. Record High number of People on Food Stamps. Record High Debt. Record High Energy Costs which raises that Costs of EVERYTHING. Bush did not do this. He may have opened the door, but it was ALL Obama and the Liberals in Congress that created this mess we are in.

So, who does it seem, is a FRIEND of the Democrats in this Election Cycle? Yes. The GOP. I'm not being Provocative. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm not even remotely Joking. It is the TRUTH. The Establishment Republicans have been standing in the way of REAL Change. They themselves have stood in the way, and have worked AGAINST ANY True Conservatives that started to gain ground. Many in Washington have been playing Political Games, Politics as usual, while this Administration has run wild all over the place.

Well, according to 77 WABC News - House GOP seeks unity in election-year challenge By DONNA CASSATA, Associated Press, it seems that some may be getting it.

BALTIMORE (AP) — House Republican leaders pleaded for elusive unity from the disparate factions in their party as they pursue a dual election-year prize of retaining their majority and denying President Barack Obama a second term.

"Unity, unity, unity," Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., said Friday after hearing his leadership's overriding message at a series of private meetings at the GOP's annual three-day retreat. The fresh appeal to many of the 242 members comes just weeks after rank-and-file opposition to a short-term extension of the payroll tax cut exposed deep divisions among Republicans and ended 2011 on a discordant political note.

Rancor in 2012, Republicans understand, would be politically perilous, especially with the American people already holding Congress in such low regard. Republicans expect Obama to campaign against the "do-nothing Congress," using the presidential bully pulpit to try to make his case.

Looking ahead to a new year, Republicans said their strategy is to highlight stark differences with Democrats on job creation, deficit spending and how Obama runs the government.

"It's pretty clear it's going to be a referendum on the president's policies. ... the devastating impact of these policies on our economy," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in brief remarks to reporters.

Boehner said he had instructed each committee chairman to step up oversight of the Obama administration, an examination that would touch on everything from national security to education and echo last year's hearings on an Energy Department loan to a now-bankrupt solar energy company and a problem-plagued gun smuggling investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious. Money from the stimulus package in Obama's first year also will face scrutiny.

Republicans painted a dire picture of the economy, with high unemployment, housing woes and Obama regulations, or even the possibility of new rules, hampering small businesses and hiring.

"If I were Barack Obama I wouldn't want to talk about my record either," said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore.

But in recent months, there have been signs of an economy on the upswing. Applications for unemployment benefits have dropped to their lowest level in nearly four years, housing sales increased and companies posted better earnings. The Dow Jones closed above 12,700 on Friday.

Economic indicators as well as perceptions of the nation's financial health will largely determine the re-election chances for Obama and members of Congress.

In perhaps a preview of the GOP effort to shape the debate, Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said the latest positive economic signs reflect a resilient economy and added, "Imagine what growth could be if we got all of these barriers out of the way."

Election-year politics are certain to limit any attempts at an ambitious legislative session, but high-profile votes and issues can clarify the battle lines. Republicans made clear they will continue the fight over Obama's decision to block, at least temporarily, a 1,700-mile Canada-to-Texas pipeline known as Keystone XL.

Rep. Fred Upton, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said Republicans were open to making it part of the next round of negotiations on a Social Security tax cut and unemployment benefits, an attempt certain to draw Democratic opposition. House and Senate negotiators face a Feb. 29 deadline to coming up with a plan for a yearlong extension that also resolves the question of Medicare reimbursements for doctors.

"We are absolutely committed — as a Republican team — to keep the Keystone XL pipeline on the front burner," said Upton, R-Mich. He will hold hearings next week with State Department officials on their pipeline recommendation to the president.

Republicans argue that Obama's decision was politically driven and will cost the nation not only jobs but a new energy source.

Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, said Obama took "20,000 shovel-ready jobs on Keystone and buried them." Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said if Obama were serious about helping the middle class, he would allow the Keystone project to proceed, with scores of jobs for blue-collar workers.

In addition to working out a compromise on the payroll tax cut, Republicans pledged to be aggressive in crafting a budget and cutting spending, arguing that Obama's policies have contributed to the growing deficit. House members acknowledged that their legislation has little chance in the Democratic-controlled Senate or with Obama, but Ryan made clear they will still press ahead to ensure the electorate has a choice.

"At the end of the day, we'll kick this up to the American people and let them decide what kind of America they want to have," he said.

In a series of meetings, Republicans heard from former Texas Sen. Phil Gramm, a onetime presidential candidate, who focused on Obama's policies and their impact on free enterprise. They also heard about teamwork from former Washington Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs.

On Friday night, popular Republican and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who many had hoped would seek the presidency, was scheduled to speak to the Republican conference behind closed doors.

Surprisingly, lawmakers said there was little talk of presidential candidates. Pollsters did tell the GOP that once the party gets a nominee, it was critical that members of Congress and the candidate be on the same page, according to Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., who said he didn't foresee any problems.

Few members interrupted the gathering and socializing to watch Thursday night's debate from South Carolina.

"You get to the 18th debate," Terry joked. "Come on..."

Congratulations GOP!!! Now let hope you MEAN it. Because we KNOW from experience, you have this habit of saying one thing, and not following through, or doing the exact Opposite. Change is coming..Be part of it, or be gone.

A Politician that GETS it?

Hey folks,

I read this. I couldn't believe what I was reading. A Politician that GETS it? Oh, one, he's from right here in Sunny Florida. Two? He's a Republican. (Smile) But all kidding aside. Listen to this.

"Time and again this Administration has taken too lightly the threat of Hugo Chavez and his emerging alliance with other thugocrats like Ahmadinejad. President Obama jokes about visiting Chavez and high fives him, and Secretary of State Clinton engages Chavez while their liberal buddy Joe Kennedy gets paid by Chavez to mount a PR campaign in America. Hugo Chavez has been in direct violation of UN sanctions prohibiting the shipment of fuel to Iran; while welcoming the building of Iranian missile sites in Venezuela, missiles aimed at the U.S. A visit from Ahmadinejad is just the beginning of what could be a nightmare for the U.S. unless this Administration gets serious about the destabilizing threat of Hugo Chavez in our region."

Well, way to go Congressman Mack. That's right, our Winner of the Display of Logic Award this Week is Congressman Connie Mack (FL-14). The rest of the Press Release is even better. Here it is..

Mack to Obama: "This is What Happens When You Coddle Dictators."

Iran's Ahmadinejad Arrives In Venezuela to Celebrate Chavez

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Despite only verbal warnings from the State Department to avoid close ties with Iran, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez welcomed Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Caracas over the weekend where a grinning Hugo Chavez stated, "A spokesman or spokeswoman in Washington from the State Department or the White House said it was not convenient for any country to get close to Iran. Well, the truth is, it made you laugh."

Chairman of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee Congressman Connie Mack (FL-14), responding to the visit by the Iranian dictator, stated, "Time and again this Administration has taken too lightly the threat of Hugo Chavez and his emerging alliance with other thugocrats like Ahmadinejad. President Obama jokes about visiting Chavez and high fives him, and Secretary of State Clinton engages Chavez while their liberal buddy Joe Kennedy gets paid by Chavez to mount a PR campaign in America. Hugo Chavez has been in direct violation of UN sanctions prohibiting the shipment of fuel to Iran; while welcoming the building of Iranian missile sites in Venezuela, missiles aimed at the U.S. A visit from Ahmadinejad is just the beginning of what could be a nightmare for the U.S. unless this Administration gets serious about the destabilizing threat of Hugo Chavez in our region."

Also over this past weekend Hugo Chavez named General Henry Rangel Silva, a U.S. Treasury designated drug kingpin, as the new Defense Minister in Venezuela. Rangel, a former intelligence chief, said in late 2010 that the military wouldn't accept an opposition victory in the 2012 presidential election.

Meanwhile, U.S. State Department officials announced on Sunday that Venezuelan consul general Livia Acosta Noguera has been expelled from her post in Miami. This comes after she had allegedly been tied to a group of Venezuelan and Iranian diplomats who expressed interest in an offer from a group of Mexican hackers to infiltrate the websites of the White House, the FBI, the Pentagon and U.S. nuclear plants.

You see folks, this is what I mean when I say we need Adults in Charge. People that can look at the World, see REALITY, and have the ability to understand what they are seeing. Then after observing and understanding, they have the ability to apply Logic and Strategic Thought while creating a Plan on dealing with the Situation. These are the abilities, as PROVEN by this Administration, that Liberals lack. Liberals would rather attempt to create an Ideal reality that they feel is the way things SHOULD be, the way they see things, instead of dealing with Reality itself. THAT fails every time it is tried.

Try it yourself. Reality says you have to pay your Bills. Your Mortgage, Electric Bill, Car Payments, ETC. You decide that the Ideal reality for you is that you do not have to pay these things. It's not fair that Ford Makes a Huge Profit. That your Mortgage Company will receive over Double of what the loan is that you are paying. It's not fair that the Power Company can charge you so much for what you feel is a necessity. So just attempt to create a reality that you do not have to pay. What happens? Just because you now see a different reality, doesn't change the REAL Reality. They WILL come and take your Car, Home, and they will turn off the power.

Iran HATES US. They WILL Wipe Israel off the Map. They WILL attack US. They ARE working on a Nuclear Bomb. People like Hugo IS helping him. {Little Hitler, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad} Russia is returning to Cold War Era USSR Tactics. Nobody has a Clue to this day on North Korea. These people do not understand negotiations. They do not CARE about what we think or say about them. They only understand one thing. Force or the threat, VIABLE threat, of FORCE. FEAR brought a sort of Peace in the World during Reagan. Carter in power? On November 4, 1979, an angry Mob of young Islamofascists, of which Ahmadinejad was one of them, overtook the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. They took more than 60 Americans Hostage. They held them for 444 days. Why? They KNEW Carter would do nothing about it. They had no FEAR of Carter. Ronald Reagan Got Elected and Sworn in? Something like 30 Minutes later, all the hostages were released. {Laughing} MINUTES. Why? They DID fear him. They thought, in their minds, this guy is CRAZY enough to push the Button. Forget if he would or wouldn't, they FEARED he would. How many attacks under Clinton? How many when Bush was in office following 911? Get the Picture?

It is refreshing to see and hear a Politician that gets it. Congratulation Congressman Connie Mack. You ARE the Winner of the Display of Logic Award for today, Sunday, January 15th, 2012. The FIRST Winner of 2012 by the way. Keep telling it like it is Congressman. Keep telling it like it is.

So keeping Christ in Christmas is offensive to Little Minds.

Hey folks,

Back to Pitman. Told you we would be spending some time there today. So for 45 years, the Knights of Columbus have hung a Private Sign that says, "Keep Christ in Christmas." For 45 years, no one complained. This year, an Religiously Bigoted, close minded, hate filled FOOL from Wisconsin contacts the Mayor of Pitman NJ, and says some "Unnamed Residents" are offended and want the Sign taken down. Moron.

So, Christ-Mass or Christmas, is the day set aside by those who understand, to worship the Birth of our Lord Jesus, THE Christ. His NAME is in the Name of the Holy day, aka Holiday. If it were not for Christ, it would not be called CHRISTmas.

But this Moron from Wisconsin CLAIMS someone in Pitman contacted him and wants the sign removed. No names. Proof, NO Constitutional Bases whatsoever. Just one Moron from out of Town attempting to Dictate to the Mayor of another Town, in another State, what he can and can't display.

Our Winner of the Display of Logic Award goes TO that Mayor for his response to this Ignorant Jackass.

The town’s mayor says the sign is attached to private property and hanging over a county road.

“I think it’s a sad state of affairs that our country, we kowtow to the minority and not the majority of people who like that sort of thing to stay,” said Mayor Michael Batten.

He will not be taking it down. Good for him. More on this Moron in a bit.

Look, you don'[t like Christmas? Don't participate. I have Jehovah Witness friends that do not Celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Birthdays, Whatever. But they do not go around telling everyone that they are not allowed to. They simply do not participate.

If you are offended by Christ in Christmas, then you may want to rethink the 4th of July if the Military Offends you. Do not accept the Day off for Presidents Day if you are offended by this Country the Way it is Founded. Keep your opinions to yourself. Create your own Holiday, like, I don't know, Festivus. I will respect your Holiday, you respect mine.

Congratulations Mayor Michael Batten, for standing up for what is right, for telling the Truth, and NOT "kowtowing to the Minority" or in this case One Idiot, "and not the majority of people who like that sort of thing to stay,” you ARE the Winner of the Display Of Logic Award, for Today, Sunday, December 18, 2011. I only wish MORE Public Officials were not so Cowardly to not do the same.

Someone finally taking Russia serious.

Hey folks,

I just got done talking about Russia. I have been telling you for years now that Russia, Putin in particular, needs to be closely watched. Putin wants the good old days of the USSR back. He wants a new Cold War with America.

Now I'm not going to rehash all the things we have been talking about over the years, but it is crystal clear what Putin's intentions are, for anyone paying attention. We also know that Russia IS working WITH Iran on THEIR Nuclear quest.

So Obama names Michael McFaul, a Senior Adviser to Obama on Russia, to be the new Russian Ambassador. Knowing the Obama and Crews willingness to "Compromise" and "Work With" those that have little to no interest in our well being, our Display of Logic Award Winner is standing in the way. He wants assurances first.

According to 77 WABC Radio News / AP - US lawmaker blocking Obama's pick for Russia envoy Dec. 2, 2011 4:42 AM ET By DESMOND BUTLERDESMOND BUTLER, Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican senator is blocking President Barack Obama's nominee to become ambassador to Russia over suspicions the U.S. might provide Moscow with sensitive missile defense information.

The administration says it has no plans to provide such data. But it says the assurances sought by Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., are so broad, they would prevent any substantial cooperation on missile defense.

The dispute with Kirk further complicates the Obama administration's efforts to get U.S.-Russian relations back on track at a time of increased tensions over missile defense.

It also has political overtones ahead of next year's elections. The White House considers improved relations with Russia, including the signing of a major arms reduction treaty, to be one of the big foreign policy successes of Obama's presidency. Republicans have accused Obama of granting too many concessions to Russia and getting little in return.

Again, I do not want to rehash all this, but you know as well as I that Putin doesn't care about us. Oh, he will sign an agreement to reduce Nukes if he is sure we WILL. And with Obama, he is pretty sure we WILL. But, uh, how do we know if they do? You get the point.

Kirk is holding up the nomination of Michael McFaul, a senior adviser to Obama on Russia. In an interview with The Associated Press, Kirk said he wants written assurances that the United States will not provide Russia with any currently classified information on the missile defense system.

Kirk said he is particularly concerned that the administration could offer Russia data on the speed of interceptors planned for Europe in order to ease Russian fears that the system could knock out Russian ballistic missiles.

He said he also is concerned about Russia's "record of espionage and cooperation and dialogue with Iran." He said precise data on the interceptor speeds could help Iran evade the U.S. defenses. The U.S. insists its missile interceptors are aimed at countering a threat from Iran.

{Laughing} So he doesn't trust them because of their recent historical FACTS. Their own actions. We already know that they ARE doing these things. The sad thing is, we also know Obama. We know his willingness to throw American Security under the bus for his own Political Gain. Sen. Mark Kirk is showing Logic, and intelligence, to seek assurances that we will not simply lay down for Russia in the hopes that they will follow. Obama and Crew do not say they will NOT do these things. They admit EVERYTHING is on the table.

The administration says that while it is not considering such an offer, it does not want to limit its options by ruling out any exchange of sensitive information they say would be essential for any substantial missile defense cooperation.

"In the future, some classified information exchange may benefit the United States," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement.

U.S. missile defense plans in Europe have been one of the touchiest subjects in U.S.-Russian relations going back to the administration of Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush.

One of Obama's earliest moves to ease tensions was the administration's 2009 announcement that it would revamp Bush's plan to emphasize shorter-range interceptors. Russia initially welcomed that move, but has more recently suggested that the new interceptors could threaten its missiles as the U.S. interceptors are upgraded.

U.S. talks with Russia over missile defense cooperation have nearly broken down. Russia recently threatened to target missiles at the U.S. missile defense systems in Europe and just commissioned a radar in Kaliningrad, near the Polish border, capable of monitoring missile launches from Europe and the North Atlantic.

So why do we trust them? It's like watching an old Western. You got two guys standing there with Guns drawn. The Bad Guy says he will drop his if the Good Guy does first. The Good guy drops his, BANG! "Hey you already knew I'm the Bad Guy."

Congratulations Sen. Mark Kirk. You ARE the Winner of the Display of Logic Award for today, Sunday December 4th 2011. For showing that you can observe Reality, apply Thought and Logic to what you Observe, and the fact you are willing to ask for assurances, THANK YOU. There is Hope that we may be able to turn this mess around in 2012. We just need more of the Right People in the Right Places. Obama and Crew are NOT the Right People.

So NOT help out those that want you dead? Novel concept.

Hey folks,

So you have someone who has SAID, "I want you DEAD!" You have someone who is currently giving someone who IS attacking you, and wants you dead, MONEY, Weapons, and Intelligence, to aid them in their mission. You have someone who wants your Friend DEAD. So what do you do? Help them out. Yeah, just give them business, which gives them money, that they give to those trying to kill you.

Of course you don't. But WE do. As a Nation, we do. However, there is a Democrat in NY that gets it. According to Iran Focus / Reuters - NY bill seeks ban on companies investing in Iran

NEW YORK Oct 27 (Reuters) - Companies and individuals that invest in Iran's energy sector would be barred from doing business with New York state and its counties, cities and towns under a bill proposed by the state Assembly speaker.

States, local governments and private institutions should do "everything possible" to keep Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, according to a draft copy of the bill proposed by Speaker Sheldon Silver, which cites Iran's "illicit nuclear activities" and work on "unconventional weapons."

Yes I'll TAKE IT! I know the guy is a Democrat. In this case, he is a SANE Democrat. I know nothing about this guy. But I do know that in this case, the guy is right on the money.

The proposed bill is modeled after a similar proposal in California. New York has in the past tackled international issues by threatening to sell stakes held by its pensions in public companies.

An investment in Iran's natural gas, oil or nuclear industries is defined broadly in the draft bill, as "a commitment or contribution of funds or property, a loan or other extension of credit and the entry into or renewal of a contract for goods and service."

Again, we do not need Iranian or any other's Oil or Natural Gas. If the Government would just get out of the way, we would be self sufficient. Just the Keystone Pipeline would supply 95 percent of all our Liquid Fuel needs. Natural Gas is exploding, pardon the pun, all over the Country. If we just got Government out of the way, we would need not worry about one DROP of our Energy Needs coming from the Middle East. Obama and Crew could allow and assist the Muslim Brotherhood completely take over the Middle East. All we would have to worry about is Nukes. Get the right people in power in 2012, work with our Allies, and we would not have to worry about that either. Just a side note here.

Individuals would be subject to the ban if they provide goods or services of at least $20 million or an individual "provides oil or liquefied natural gas tankers, or products used to construct or maintain pipelines used to transport oil or liquefied natural gas," according to the draft.

If enacted, New York's Office of General Services would have to review 50 companies that California has identified as possibly qualifying for such a curb.

The list includes heavyweight public and national firms: BHP Billiton , China National Petroleum Corp, Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Heavy Industries , Indian Oil Corporation , LUKOIL , Norsk Hydro ASA , Petroleos de Venezuela, Sinopec Corp and Total SA .

I hope this passes. I really do. I hope Speaker Sheldon Silver stands tough here. Congratulations Speaker Sheldon Silver, for having the ability to not only see the TRUTH, but the courage to stand up for it, you are the Winner of the Display of Logic Award for Sunday, October 30th, 2011. It is RARE for someone on your side to actually look at a situation, recognized what you are seeing, and stand up for what is right. Good Job. Now stand tough. You are going to have some negative feedback from some on your own side. You may even be pressured to back off. Don't do it. Stand up for what you believe in. For what you believe in is the right thing to do.

This is a GREAT Peace in the American Spectator

Hey folks,

Here is something that is all but hidden in the Mainstream Media. You do not get Stories like this one. You just don't. That's because it goes against the Liberal Agenda. All we ever hear is that the Tea Party, Republicans, Conservatives, anything NOT Liberal in general, are nothing more than Racist Hicks. So TRUE history and the TRUTH about Conservatism is always ignored. This is a GREAT Peace in the American Spectator. I guess they can SHARE this Award. I do not want to add anything to this. It was well written and our Winner this Week is someone that not only KNOWS the Truth, but has the courage to stand and speak it. Here it is.

The American Spectator - Don't Know Much About History By Larry Thornberry on 10.20.11 @ 6:08AM

Republicans and Black Americans -- a better story than you've heard.

Poet W. H. Auden said professors are folks who talk in other people's sleep. True enough. I recall some nodding off in my college history classes (not by me, of course).

No one, however, slept through the history lesson Tuesday night at the monthly meeting of the Hillsborough County (Tampa) Republican Executive Committee. But then Frantz Kebreau is not your ordinary professor. If fact, he's not a professor at all but an airline pilot and former Navy pilot with more than 300 carrier landings, taking some time away from the clouds to promote a more earthly understanding of the blessings of American freedom that people of all races can enjoy (at least and until politicians zero those freedoms out).

One of the favorite indoor sports of liberals is to call conservatives, particularly those with the temerity to embrace the tea-party, racist. To hear media-appointed black "leaders" like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpie, not to mention some of the more demagogic members of the Congressional Black Caucus, you'd think all white American conservatives, regardless of protestations to the contrary and spotless lives, are closet Ku-Kluxers who can barely contain their inner Bull Connor. These bigots we're told, given half a chance, would have our black brothers and sisters on the back of the bus again in a heartbeat.

When there's dumbness and demagogy in the air, Hollywood will be heard from. Morgan Freeman, a fine actor who can project intelligence and maturity on the screen, got in on the fun saying Republican efforts to retire Barack O'Barnum next year are "a racist thing," and show "the weak, dark side of America." Samuel L. Jackson, another black actor, echoed Freeman with this analysis of the campaign to replace our socialist president with a conservative: "It all boils down pretty much to race. It's not politics. It's not the economy."

OK, I get it. White conservatives and Republicans (not entirely coterminous categories) aren't really sore with O'Barnum for ballooning the national debt by $4 trillion and making national bankruptcy a real possibility, or for nationalizing one-sixth of the economy through Obamacare and generally trying to push as much as possible from the private to the public sector. It's not about setting federal agencies on a jobs-killing regulation binge, or for traveling the world apologizing for America's alleged sins and bowing before tyrants. It's not his rejection of American exceptionalism and total ignorance of the importance to world stability of a militarily strong America either.

No, no. These items are just trifles. What conservatives are really sore with our community-organizer-in-chief about is that he's not Caucasian. And isn't that just like those racist Republicans?

Kebreau, whose parents immigrated to America from Haiti, is having none of this. Since 2009 he's been on the news, talk shows, and speaking circuit making the point that, though few Americans know it, the record of the Republican Party for a century and a half has not only been more supportive of Black Americans than that of the Democratic Party has, but much more so.

In his Tuesday lecture before a couple hundred GOP activists in Tampa, Kebreau pointed out that the more than a dozen civil rights acts introduced into Congress over the past century and a half were all introduced by Republicans and opposed by Democrats, often vociferously. In each case a higher percentage of Republicans supported real civil rights than Democrats, including the all-important Civil Right Act of 1964. A full 80 percent of Republicans voted in Congress for this game-changing legislation that was the beginning of the end for Jim Crow. Only 63 percent of Democrats supported it, not including Democratic icon and former Ku Klux Klan member Robert C. Byrd, who filibustered it.

One hundred percent of Republicans supported the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which ended slavery, while only 23 percent of Democrats did. The 15th amendment, giving all Americans the right to vote, was a 100 percent to zero percent Republican shutout.

Democrat Woodrow Wilson, our first true progressive president and touted by John Kerry as one of his favorites, segregated the federal civil service and the U.S. military and bears large responsibility for the decades of segregation that followed and the heartache, violence, and death required to put an end to it.

These historical facts are hiding in plain sight. But we live in an age of historical illiteracy. And these are not things members of the main(left)-stream media would like to talk about even if they knew them, which they don't.

Nowadays black voters, usually in percentages north of 90 percent, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Democratic Party. Things have been trending in this direction since the New Deal, which provided jobs for many unemployed blacks. The last Republican presidential candidate to receive more than 20 percent of the black vote was Tricky Dick in 1960.

Since then black voter devotion to the Democratic Party has been, excuse the expression, slavish. It's a real head-scratcher to me on the academic and personal level why this endures now that so many blacks have entered the great American middle class and higher. I've known, worked with, played ball with, and buried my nose in the happy-hour froth with so many blacks who are personally conservative, but who almost invariably cast their votes for candidates who do not share their values.

In contrast to the gift of freedom and earned dignity, Democrats and liberals have bequeathed black Americans a stifling welfare system that's gone more than a fair long way toward dismantling the black family, as the melancholy statistics on out of wedlock births and one-parent families testify to. The Democrats also invented and cling to the policy of affirmative action, which is not a cure for discrimination but a socially corrosive form of it. There's hardly a more effective way of keeping Americans at war with each other than the racial spoils system of affirmative action, wherein the good things are divided up along racial lines.

Countless groups, like Tampa's Republicans, as well as news junkies, have heard Kebreau make these and other points in pursuit of his stated goal of a truly color-blind society. The only kind of society, in Kebreau's view, which has any chance of enduring peacefully and prosperously.

Kebreau told me he probably won't stay on the road pitching his ideas for the duration, even if he continues to get the standing-O's he received Tuesday night. But he'll stay at it until after the 2012 election, because he's concerned about the socialist direction the country is taking. He sees the freedoms he cherishes being threatened and eroded, and he doesn't like it.

Kebreau will eventually make it back to the cockpit. When his flying days are over he could do worse than consider the classroom. He's an acute thinker, a tireless researcher, and a talented speaker who will not have to pass out NoDoz tablets to his students to keep their attention.

So congratulations to both, Frantz Kebreau, for sharing the TRUTH, and the Writer of this piece, Larry Thornberry, for sharing it. Hey if we can have two Winners of the IWA this week, and we do, then we can have two Winners of the Display of Logic Award.

Not much to add to this one.

Hey folks,

What a Headline:

WINGLESS, BLOODSUCKING AND PARASITIC: MEET THE FLEA PARTY!

{Laughing} Why not tell us what you REALLY think Ann? Yes, our winner for today, Sunday, October 16th, 2011 is none other than that Liberal Love, Ann Coulter. On October 12, 2011 she wrote THIS:

So far, the only major accomplishment of the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters is that they have finally put an end to their previous initiative, "Occupy Our Mothers' Basements."

Oddly enough for such a respectable-looking group -- a mixture of adolescents looking for a cause, public sector union members, drug dealers, criminals, teenage runaways, people who have been at every protest since the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, Andrea Dworkin look-alikes, people 95 percent of whose hair is concentrated in their ponytails and other average Democrats -- they can't even explain what they're protesting.

Now, I do not have permission to repost this in it's entirety. But you need to go to her site and read this. This is GREAT. She is right when she says this.

Curiously, the only point universally agreed upon by the protesters and their admirers in the Democratic Party and the mainstream media is that "Occupy Wall Street" should be compared to the tea party. Yes, that would be the same tea party that has been denounced and slandered by the Democratic Party and the mainstream media for the last three years.

As a refresher: The Democratic National Committee called the tea partiers "angry mobs" and "rabid right-wing extremists." ABC said they were a "mob." CNN accused them of "rabble rousing." Harry Reid called them "evil mongers." Nancy Pelosi said they were "un-American." CNN's Anderson Cooper and every single host on MSNBC called the tea partiers a name that referred to an obscure gay sex act.

But apparently liberals couldn't even convince themselves that tea partiers were an extremist group unworthy of emulation.

{Laughing} She is right folks. But we all know, and so does SHE, that it is the fact they are SCARED to death of the Tea Party. This is why they want to imitate them. Well, at least attempt to get you to believe that THESE Protesters are a REAL Grasroots Movement and the American People hate the Tea Party, yet, LOVE the "Occupy Crowd." She goes on to give you a pretty good History lesson here. Then she wraps it up with this.

They are not in the tradition of the tea partiers, much less our founding fathers. They are not in the tradition of the civil rights movement or Operation Rescue. They are in the tradition of Shays' Rebellion, the Weathermen and Charles Manson.

She is one hundred percent correct here. They want free stuff. They are being PAID. Some of them more than some of you working 9 to 5. They are Pigs, that have created a STY where ever they go. They want TAX Payers, the City, to provide Porta Potties, and Dumpsters. They are NOTHING like the Tea Party.

Congratulations Ann Coulter. You ARE the Winner of the Display of Logic Award. Keep up the good work. But please, next time? Please don't hold back. Let us know what you really think. {Smile}

From an unlikely source, the TRUTH flows.

Hey folks,

Up until just recently, it was a forgone conclusion that no matter who the GOP put up, The Media will have little problem destroying, and Obama will simply Wallace in for another 4 years.

Lets face it. Obama is still Black. He is still Brilliant {According to the Media and the Lib Left, still no proof of this whatsoever.} Republicans are still Racists, Bigoted, Chauvinistic, Homophobes that want nothing more that to Protect the Rich Fat Cats, and Screw the little People. If they are Conservatives, then add in there Stupid as well. There is NO WAY that anyone on the Right could beat Obama.

However, that WAS until people starting waking up. That was until people actually put aside the completely Bogus Stereotypes, created by the the Left and the Media, and actually starting to LISTEN to the Candidates. To the Conservative Message. They started to like what they heard.

Look, the truth is, Liberal Ideals are NICE. They are GOOD Ideas. EVERYONE can agree that the world could indeed be a better place if we lived by some of them. Consider a World without War. Who doesn't want that. Consider the Lion laying down with the Lamb. Consider a World where money meant NOTHING. Who wouldn't be happy with that? Consider a World where we could wake up and go about our day without leaving any kind of "foot print" or mark, on the Planet. Where we could fly around in Solar Powered Hover Cars, drink clean water straight from Mountains, Sleep at night being cooled by a cool Breeze created solely by the Wind itself. Love not War. Green everywhere? Who could be against any of that?

The problem is, THAT is not reality. It is not now, never has been, it CAN NOT BE. Reality is that War is real. The Lion EATS the Lamb. Oil makes the World turn. Unfortunately, because of US, Money is a necessity. If you like it or not.

Reality is not fair. It is not always Just. The American Dream is so great, for the sole reason that ANYONE can achieve it. ANYONE. You can strive for Greatness in this Country, and you can achieve it. Look at Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Herman Cain. All came from NOTHING, and are now the Millionaires and Billionaires that Obama talks about. But then again, so is HE.

However, Reality is also cruel for some. If you do not eat, you die. Simple enough to understand. If you CHOSE to be content doing what you are doing, and strive for nothing more, then you get what you get. If you CHOSE to stay home and be dependant on the System, then you will be one of those that feel jealousy and hatred towards those that DID make something of themselves. But you have no one to blame be yourself. Seriously. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Herman Cain, Vince McMahon, and Opera Winfrey making their Millions and Billions, have NO effect on me. If Rush Limbaugh lost his Millions, it would have no effect on me. I would not make a DIME more if Bill Gates lost his. However, in Reality, I could go to work for Rush. I could go to work for IBM, Gateway, or APPLE. I could work for the WWE or become a Camera Guy for Opera. I could make a good Salary. But I could never go to work for someone sitting on their couch WATCHING Opera, collecting a Government Check.

The American Dream is great because instead of Working for Rush, I could go out and get my own Radio Show. If I'm good enough, I could BE Rush. I could sit in my garage, and come up with the next big thing, and become Bill Gates. I could envision a NEW TV Show, and BECOME Vince McMahon, or Opera. Since the founding of this Country, the American Spirit, the American Dream, has MADE this Country what it is today. Well, what it WAS until around 2005. What Bush started at the encouragement of Obama and other Liberals, Obama walked right in and took over.

It is, without doubt. ANY Doubt whatsoever, Liberal Ideals and Agendas that have gotten us into this mess. It is because Liberal Ideas are OPPOSED to what America Stands for. Freedom. The American Dream has been replaced by a Liberal One. An unattainable Utopia of Fairness and Equality for all. Where nothing costs anything, and everyone is equal no matter the amount of work or decisions made by themselves.

Well, we have a President that has brought to pass, a lot of the Liberal Dreams. The American people are learning that they are FALSE. Failed Policies and the Reality is, they simply make things WORSE for all. Now they are hearing the Truth, about what made this Country Great. Conservatism. Freedom. And yes, FAITH. They are waking up. They are starting to listen.

So do not believe that Obama is a shoo-in. Do not believe the early MMD Polls showing that he is still in the Lead. Do not believe that there is no one that can beat him. They DON'T! When asked if he though Obama could loose in 2012, that the Mood in the Country, and the Tea Party, was strong enough to beat Obama, our Winner of the Display of Logic Award said this.

“Oh, absolutely! Absolutely! It's strong enough to beat both of us. Look, no matter what the circumstance, at the end of the day, the American people right now are in real trouble. An even larger percentage have stagnant wages. And a significant majority of the American people believe that the country is not moving in the right direction. That is never a good place to be going into re-election, whether it’s your fault or not your fault. It’s almost sometimes irrelevant.”

WOW! I will give credit where credit is due. From an unlikely source, the TRUTH flows. It is because of Obama that we are in this mess. It is because of Liberal Ideas and Agendas, that "the American people right now are in real trouble. An even larger percentage have stagnant wages. And a significant majority of the American people believe that the country is not moving in the right direction." VP Biden knows it. Obama knows it. The Media knows it. The PEOPLE know it.

Congratulations VP Biden. I do not agree with 99 percent of the things that come out of your mouth, but Like Bush, I love hearing you say them from time to time. But this? THIS I agree with you one hundred percent. You ARE the Winner of the Display of Logic Award, for today, Sunday, October 09th, 2011.
