Gas spending and prices by state: OPEN THREAD

 

How much you actually pay for gas is affected by your income and local economy, not just what price is at the pump. Mississippi residents spend a whopping 13.2% of their income on gas.

Gas prices reflect the average price in each state and are updated daily from data gathered by the AAA Fuel Gauge Report.

Things have gotten much worse over the past few years. Most Americans believed that things would get better. Especially since Americans spent their future in debt to make things better. We thought the wars would have ended by now and our soldiers would have been home by now. We thought that our money would keep it's value and our debt would go down. We thought that recessions only lasted 18 months or less. The Democrats made a lot of promises. They gave us everything they wanted. They failed,lied or whatever you want to call it. If you think that things are better and nothing is "too big to fail" anymore, let me know. Is health care costs less now? What have the Democratic Party and Obama done that turned out the way they promised? When have they gotten the cause and effect right? How is that lasering on the economy working out?

Black Chamber of Commerce CEO: Obama Administration 'Might as Well Put on the Brown Shirts and Swastikas'

 A lot more Americans are starting to agree that Obama is a radical fanatic from the far-left. All it take is a look at his admin. to see how radical and anti-business this admin. is.

Friday on The Laura Ingraham Show, Harry Alford, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, blasted President Obama's anti-business administration in an explosive interview.

Alford, a 2008 Obama supporter, labeled the administration "Marxist" and "fanatical." "They might as well put on the brown shirts and swastikas," he said.
He also admitted he voted for Obama simply because he was black.

Man Arrested Outside Calif. DMV for Reading His Bible Out Loud

When Mark Mackey, a member of the local Calvary Chapel, showed up to the DMV office in Hemet, CA on February 2, he had a goal: read the Bible and introduce those waiting in line to the “gospel of Jesus Christ.” And for about 15 minutes he was successful. That is until a California Highway Patrolman took the Bible from his hands, arrested him, and told him he was guilty of preaching to a “captive audience.”
And it was all caught on video:

It seems like this kind of rights violations are happening more and more lately. We have seen the Dearborn police arrest Christians for speaking at the Arab "Muslim" Festival. It's good to see that these Christians are taking a stand and fighting back with lawsuits against these illegal arrests. This happened because this man was reading from the Bible. If this man was saying anything other then Gods Word nothing would have happened. Maybe Christians from all around can stand outside the police station that took this mans rights away and read the Bible,Quaran or whatever. Let them arrest. Christians need to do the same at the Arab Festival as well. Take a stand. And when they arrest the Christians sue them. I'm sure a city like Dearborn can afford to lose millions because they keep arresting Christians for speaking in a public place at a public event. Peaceful resistance,like Gondhi used works great in this situations.

Trump Got Obama To Hand Over His Birth Certificate

President Barack Obama gestures while speaking to reporters about the controversy...

This is great news for Trump. We all now know that Trump can get the president to do whatever he wants. Now we can put to rest the "Birther" crap. If I was Obama I'd have never given up the birth certificate. As long as the media and Americans talked about birth certificates it stopped them from talking about the real issues. Issues like, Mexico is on fire with 35,000 people murdered over the past few years. Only 1,000 were murdered Libya and Obama took us to war on that. Our boarder is open and our neighbor to the South of us is one of the most dangerous places on Earth. What is the Obama admin. doing about the mass murders in Mexico? Is he protecting the Americans that live along the boarder? The Democratic Party needs to stop resisting protecting our Southern and Northern boarders now.

Maybe now the media will talk about the real issues facing this Presidents lack of leadership and direction. The truth of the matter is if the economy stays down or gets worse Obama doesn't have a chance for reelection. And if the economy does come back, then Obama will get reelected. It all comes down to the economy and Obama knows it.

Beck: 'Birther' Argument a Distraction ... and Pres. Obama Loves It

GLENN BECK, HOST: Welcome to "The Glenn Beck Program."

We have a lot to talk about tonight. This is one that I want you to share with your friends.
America right now seems to be talking about a couple of things. Donald Trump, who is trying to find a president's birth certificate with a metal detector or whatever. And that the president didn't recognize Easter. He celebrates Passover and Ramadan. But, apparently, neither fully recognized. And neither did Google, you know?
But they did recognize this one. This is -- this is -- this is great. And then they followed up with celebrating renowned French-American ornithologist John James Audubon. This was today. Oooh! Wow!
I think there was a holiday in between those things there at Google, but, you know, you may have missed them. I mean, sure, you missed Jesus. But you got the bird guy. So, I mean, obviously, I'd go for it, too, the bird guy.
Look, here's the point. This is all a distraction. I mean, the president loves the birth certificate, loves the birth certificate argument. Loves it. It's a poke in the eye and it just makes people look ridiculous. It really does.
And Easter? It stops us from talking about what's really happening. If we're arguing he didn't issue an Easter message. Really? Then we don't focus on what's really happening.
Look at the things that are happening not far away on the other side of the world, but on our own border, in our own bank accounts. What freedom is Cass Sunstein regulating out of your life today?

Fortunately, for us, we meet here every day at 5 o'clock. Unfortunately, for those in the White House, we meet here every day at 5:00. We won't be distracted by the nonsense because there's a lot to discuss.

Beck is right. We need to point at the things that effect all Americans. Things like gas prices and the Obama admins. lack of effort in bringing those prices down. There are the three wars we are in and the high unemployment. There is the growing poor and the higher food prices. Union unrest and banks that are still too big to fail. GM is still in need of government assistance. Any Republican has a plethera of bungled policies to run against. Lets start looking closer at who is getting rich off of the Obama policies.

The Left-Wing Keep Calling For Violence, Why?

By Janese Silvey, Columbia Daily Tribune
Videos showing two University of Missouri instructors apparently advocating for union violence don’t represent the UM System as a whole, a spokeswoman said.
...The videos capture Judy Ancel, director of UM-Kansas City’s Institute for Labor Studies, telling a class “violence is a tactic, and it’s to be used when it’s the appropriate tactic.” She goes on to tell a story of a friend who worked for a utility company in Peru, where it’s illegal to strike.
“They couldn’t get access to” strike, “but they had a lot of cats and they succeeded in putting cats in powerhouses,” she said. “And the cats — now, don’t think about the cats, OK? The cats would run around inside and short out the system and cause power blackouts. And that created enough chaos in the system” to get to “a negotiating position.”

Plus, she joked, they “got rid of a lot of feral cats.” Read more at columbiatribune.com.

Is this who you want to run the country? The left-wing of this country better start calling out these violent leftists.

Gas Is Over $4 A Gallon And Raising Fast

In DC gas is over $5 a gallon. Is this the "Hope and Change" we were promised? It is the change the conservatives said would follow the Democratic Party. Gas isn't the only commodity going up in value. Corn,wheat,beef,pork,gold and silver have been rising fast. If you haven't noticed the dollar is dropping in value at the same speed as commodities are rising. We told you that this would happen. Inflation is a tax we all pay. So the next time you hear someone complain about the price of anything, ask them if they voted for Obama and the Democratic Party. Let them know that inflation is the Democratic Party tax plan. We are heading for the Carter years just like most conservatives have been saying. When the pensions are worth less, thank a Democrat. When your house is worth less thank a Democrat. When everything you buy is more expensive thank a Democrat. When businesses, banks and government are too big to fail even after the bailouts and stimulus's, thank a Democrat. The good news is the Democratic Party has made our national debt so large it is holding down our economy in a permanent recession. Thanks to inflation the "Baby Boomer" better rethink their retirement plans. Because something tells me that the "Baby Boomers" wont be too big to fail. Something tells me that retirment might become a thing of the past thanks to inflation. We all know that it will be the Democrats and liberals at the front of the line for help. The same people that called conservatives crazy for preparing for the worse and praying for the best. Don't worry my liberal friends. We will clean up your mess like we always do. We will pull it all together,even when the left-wing is trying to tear us apart.

He Is Risen!

He is risen indeed. Alleluia! Happy Easter and God bless you all.

Union Bosses Proclaim: 'Forget About the Law'

The blatent lawlessness being proclaimed by both union bosses and from leaders in the Democratic Party isn't going to do anything but mke things in this country worse. The unions,anarchists,socialist,radical Islam,liberals and the Democratic Party all seem to have the same values. The question is do these people have the same common values as most Americans? Will their values help or hurt America? Do the union members share the same values as their leaders?

It's looking more and more each day like the unions want to overthrow the American government. That is what the anarchists,radical Islam and left-wingers all want. I find it hard to beleive that few Democrats want what these groups want. If the Democratic Party keep aligning itself with these anti-American groups it will become them and go down with them.

College Students Eager to Redistribute Wealth Are Less Eager to Redistribute Hard Earned Grades

Via The Daily Caller:

The College Republicans at the University of California-Merced ask fellow students, who support raising taxes on the rich, if they would be willing to redistribute their GPAs. They don’t think it’s a good idea because they earned their grades.

Oh.

You can watch the hypocrisy of these young and idealistic liberals in action below:

It always ends up like this with the liberal ideology. As long as they are taking something it's a good idea to redistribute. But the second you want to take something they earned all bets are off. If liberals want to have a society or commune that is "redistributed wealth" have at it. No one is stopping them from redistributing their wealth. I think you liberals need to show us how it's done. Start spreading your wealth to the less fortunate. Liberals give almost half as much as conservatives do. It's a shame when liberals make more money then conservatives on average.

We all know why the liberal ideology stands in hypocrisy on the issue of "spreading the wealth". Liberals aren't concerned with giving what they earned. They think that "spread the wealth" will mean they will receive what someone else earned. Liberals think they will end up with more then they came in with.

I paid my taxes this year. Were you the 50% of Americans that paid taxes? Or are you the 50% that didn't pay federal taxes and benefited from those that did? Higher taxes are coming. And if you think that only the "rich" are going to end up paying for it, think again. We could take 100% of those people and companies making over $1 million a year and it still wont cover all of our expenses and debt. We need to take a close look at "spreading the wealth". "Spread the wealth" is also reaching into our children's and grandchildren future earnings. Is that a part of the keep spending and racking up debt liberal ideology? The liberals want you money. They want to control it and choose who to give it too. We need to start demanding that liberals start to lead by example. When they start spreading their wealth to the less fortunate at the rate conservatives do then maybe someone might listen to these hypocritical left-wing.

Extravagent Teachers Salaries Exposed

Power and money. That is what these public union protests are all about. If the unions had their way teachers would make even more money then they do know. There would be even fewer teachers at the schools and many more teachers aids doing the work of teaching. We have been doing it the teachers union way for a long long time now. It's time we "redistribute" the power the unions have over we the tax payers and the children. It's time we put the kids first for a change. As the teachers unions have gotten extravagent benefits and pay the children have been getting a progressively worse education. Our government run schools are some of the worse in the world thanks in part to the power the unions have over our children's education. It's bad enough that the unions took all that Stimulus money so they wouldn't have to take any cuts. But the Stimulus was nothing less then a Democratic Party/union payoff. The Stimulus didn't recover the economy like the Democrats thought it would. We are broke at every level of government. But to the unions and Democratic Party it's still not enough. They will bleed the public sector dry with higher and higher taxes. Taxing the private sector to the point of death. Adding higher taxes to those that pay taxes wont create jobs. It wont save the educational system. But it will make the violent and threatening unions happy and still in power.

The Picture All The Left-Wing Is Talking About

I don't like these pictures. I didn't like them when they did them to almost every president we have had. The left-wing and Democrats in this country are holding up this picture as proof of racism. The left-wing are making it sound like this picture is as bad or worse then what they are doing. Get a grip. This is a classless picture, just like the Bush pictures were classless. Racist? The left-wing in this country see everything as race.

Okay so here is something I don’t understand. Perhaps there is someone out there that can help me to better understand why its considered racist to portray a black person (in this case a half black person) as a monkey or chimpanzee, but its okay to portray a white person as the same?

GW Bush image I found on the internet more than eight years ago

If this is the worse thing the left-wing can find on the conservatives, we are doing a good job of rooting out the bad. We are held to a different standard by ourselves and the left-wing. We have high expectations on our collective conservative organizations. The rest of the nation also has high expectations on us. This is a good thing. Now all we have to do is have those same expectations on the left-wing. I expect the left-wing to act civil in their discourse. I expect the left-wing to respect this nation,the anthem and the flag. I expect the left-wing to pick up after themselves after a rally. I expect them to not destroy property. I expect non-violence. It's not enough for us and you to expect the Tea Party and conservatives to act this way. So why does the left-wing say nothing when their ilk constantly act bad?

Democrats Becoming More And More Mentaly Ill

This far-left nut turned out yesterday to see Sarah Palin speak at the Madison, Wisconsin, Tea Party.

Video Screengrab

This is how the organized left spent their quality time this weekend. These are the quality people who were inspired by the call to action from Pres. Obama's Organizing for America and Mr. Trumka's AFL-CIO. Is this the future of the Democratic Party? The things this man says to a 14 year old girl is just sickening. But it is the Democratic Party way. Why hasn't Obama or the Democratic Party leaders said anything to these Democrats? Why does the Democratic Party keep codaling these crazies within their Party?  
Click here to watch the video. *Warning: graphic language*

Fire it up

A group of pro-illegal immigration/open borders protesters and anarchists attempt to take away the freedom of speech of Tea Party members by drowning them out with bullhorns. One Hispanic woman painted her face white to mock white people, while others waved the Mexican flag. Video taken at the Arizona capitol on 4/15/2011.

The Mentaly Ill Democratic Parties Future: Content Warning, Leftist Freakout at Oregon Tea Party Rally

The left-wing of this nation are showing their true intentions and evil side. This isn't hear say. These videos must be watched without children in the room. The liberal mental illness is rearing it's ugly head at this Oregon Tea Party Rally. This is the Democratic Parties future and present. We are watching the beginning of the end of the Democratic Party thanks in part to their radical extreem half.

(h/t Marooned in Marin)
But clearly there would be some respect for the National Anthem, right? Not from the mentally ill left.

Or at least some liberal tolerance for racial diversity in the debate of ideas, right...?
This is how crazy people act. I hope obamacare has a place for people like this. It is obvious that the left-wing want to bring down this country. Their actions are what we must watch, since their words mean nothing. I'm seeing why the left-wing and radical Islam have joined forces in bringing down America. Those in the Democratic Party and those that vote for Democrats need to start asking,"show me your friends and I'll show you your future". Is this the future of the Democratic Party? Is this who we need to align ourselves and country with? If the Democratic Party doesn't purge itself of these extremist they will go down with them.

Professional Proof President Obama Has A Mental Illness

Modern liberalism is not a legitimate political philosophy but rather a particularly pernicious form of insanity, psychiatrist Lyle Rossiter, Jr., MD deserves thanks for providing professional confirmation:

Dr. Rossiter's book is available here.

It's about time a psychitrist took a look at the liberal narsasitic mind. A close look at the symptoms of liberalism says it all. The next thing to look at is what causes this form of mental illness. Are they born with it or are they made this way? Could it be caused by drug use? Were they given everything they wanted as children and never taught the value of earning something with hard work?
And the big question is, is there a cure? We know that marijuana calms their natural tendency towards violence and tantrums. Could there be a drug like Zoloft or Lithium that would work long term? There is nothing to be ashamed of if you have this mental illness. The first step is admitting you have an illness that is controlling your life. Once you admit that you have this illness you should seek treatment immediately. Mental illness is not a laughing matter and should be taken seriously with proper treatments. I feel sorry for those that suffer from any form of mental illness. Thanks to Dr. Rossiter and his great work in bringing attention to this debilitating illness. We have all seen the destruction this disease has had to society and families across the world.

I think it's time the Tea Party gets involved in eradicating this mental illness from our country. We could have a telethon to promote awareness of this mental illness and raise money so we can find a cure. Almost 20% of the U.S. population is effected by this mental illness. I believe we can cure this disease in the near future if we all work hard to bring awareness of it. The cost of not curing this disease is in the trillions. I'll do my part, will you do yours?

Clinton in Blackface: Obama‘s ’Very, Very Close Friend’ Father Pfleger & Cornel West Are Shocked to Learn Even a Black Man Can Be Corrupted by Power

 

Brother Obama is corrupt even by his ilks definition. The left-wing is turning on Brother Obama. I think they need to stop blaming Brother Obama and blame the ideology. Liberalism doesn't work and they need to come to that realization. Obama is the furthest left president this country has ever had. He isn't to blame as much as his failed liberal policies are to blame. What am I saying? Of course Brother Obama is to blame. You have to love it when the left-wing bail on the man rather then the ideology?

‘You Think We Are Stupid’: Obama’s Hot Mic Tough Talk on Planned Parenthood & Health Care

 

No, Mr. President I don't think you are stupid. I think you know exactly what you are doing. And that is why our country is in worse shape now then when he took office.

Krauthammer on Obama's Budget Address

"I thought it was a disgrace," said Krauthammer. "I rarely heard a speech by a president so shallow, so hyper-partisan and so intellectually dishonest, outside the last couple of weeks of a presidential election where you are allowed to call your opponent anything short of a traitor. But, we're a year-and-a-half away from Election Day and it was supposed to be a speech about policy. He didn't even get to his own alternative until more than halfway through the speech. And when he did, he threw out numbers suspended in mid-air with nothing under them with all kinds of goals and guidelines and triggers that mean nothing. The speech was really about and entirely an attack on the [Rep. Paul] Ryan plan."

I just find it hard to believe that Obama, the spendthrift, wants to start cutting the deficit when he can't cut the budget when he has added $1 Trillion a year to our debt. I also find it very unpresidential the way he uses his bully pulpit as president to make things personal. Does he still think he's a community agitator? Because that is just how he is acting. I don't ever remember a president always acting like this.

One thing is for sure is we need to watch what he does, because his words mean nothing. A new budget estimate released Wednesday shows that the spending bill negotiated between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner would produce less than 1 percent of the $38 billion in claimed savings by the end of this budget year.

The Congressional Budget Office estimate shows that compared with current spending rates the spending bill due for a House vote Thursday would pare just $352 million from the deficit through Sept. 30. About $8 billion in cuts to domestic programs and foreign aid are offset by nearly equal increases in defense spending.
The House began preliminary debate on the measure Wednesday with it easily advancing over a procedural hurdle by a 241-179 vote. The measure appears on track to pass the House and Senate this week before a stopgap spending measure expires Friday at midnight despite opposition from some of the GOP's most ardent budget cutters.

The budget deficit is projected at $1.6 trillion this year alone. How do you think we will pay off the debts we are accumulating? The Democrats wont let anyone cut anything other then defence. And the Democrats have the youth of this country so snowed. Who do the youth think will have to pay off this debt if we don't? Every American owes $47,000 in our national debt. The Democrats want to make that number even bigger and stick the next generation for the bill. Talk about narcissistic. The Democratic Party are using the youth as their useful idiots and then they will enslave those same useful idiots with a debt they didn't create.

Tea Party Ad Delivers Knockout to Obama

 "Barack Obama's Legacy of Failure,"

We have seen what the Democratic Party has done to this country since they took over both houses of congress in 2008. But the real downward spiral has come since Obama took office. If you can't see that the Democratic policies are failures it's because you are blind,deaf or dumb. If you thought things were worse before Obama and the Democrats took over then now, you can't be helped. Excuses and blaming Bush wont work any more.

If we want to see government shrink and our deficit shrink so we can afford it, then we conservatives and moderates need to take the Senate and the White House over the next two years. As long as the liberal Democrats hold on to the Senate or the White House we will have to concede that our debt will keep growing and inflation will keep rising.

We gave the Democrats more then enough power and time. It's time to get these liberals out of office where they can't do us any more damage to our country and economy. We need to give our time, talents and treasures to stop the liberals from holding on to their power over us. It's time to stop these Democrats and ads like this help.

Obama Bitches to Schoolchildren About His Job

A great leader always compains about his job as a leader to children. This is our leader. It's no wonder the world is laughing at him and our country. If he wasn't my enept president I'd be laughing as well. It looks like you can take the organizer out of the community, but you can't take the community organizer out of Washington come 2012.

Unidentified Female: What was the hardest challenge you had to overcome to become President, or being President?
President Obama: Being President? The hardest thing is that this is such a big country, with so many different kinds of people, and everybody has different ideas. And so even if you have a pretty clear sense of what you want to do on the budget, or on health care, on foreign policy, there are gonna be, you know, half the country may disagree with you and trying to make sure in a democracy everybody can come to the table, express their opinions, and do that in a respectful way that we're still able to solve problems. That's a challenge. Because it would be easier if I could just say, "Well here's what I think is the best thing to do" and I could just do it. But I've got this thing called Congress, and they're elected to make sure that your opinions when you vote for members of congress that their opinions are expressed. You've got the Judiciary that says, "Well we've got this Constitution and this is how we should do things." And so all those different branches, are part of what makes America special because no one person ends up having too much power. Everybody has to figure out how to work together and sort through our differences.
But sometimes in this kind of environment where you have all these folks on the TV who are shouting at each other all the time. And sometimes the general public, because they're so busy, you guys may just not have time to follow every little piece of debate. It could make democracy move really slowly. And some of the challenges we have on energy, or on education or research those are things where we've got to compete with all these other countries, we've got to be able to move forward in a clear, effective way. Sometimes I get a little, frustrated that the debates aren't more honest or as clear as I'd like them to be. But overall it's a pretty good job, and a really nice backyard!

Democrats Still Use Unhinged Rants To Gain Support: Congressman Markey’s Unhinged, Greedy, Pollution-Loving, GOP Attack

What can you say when the left-wing talk like this? I just wish the Democrats would run on their failed policies, rather then fear mongering. The Republicans are trying to fix the problems these liberals created. The liberals bring nothing to the table but class warfare and idiotic negative rhetoric. The liberals controled both houses of congress and the White House. We have seen what they have done for the poor and working class of this country. We have seen the more debt, higher unemployment and out of control inflation thanks to them. We are worse off now then when they took control. Americans know what the Democrats did to us over those years. We know who got our tax dollars. The workers of this country are in much worse shape thanks to the Democratic Party.

Today Is A Great Day To Be A Republican

The Tea Party and Republicans should be as happy as larks, with this budget. I know that the Republicans didn't get all the money they wanted cut. But we need to remember that the Democrats didn't want any cuts and Obama wanted to add to the budget. Since the Republican Party only controls half of 1/3 of the government I'd have to say they did a great job taking control of this budget and doing the right thing.

With Democrats controlling the Senate and White House still I didn't expect much from the Republican Party. This November the Republicans will take the White House and maybe the Senate and then you will see the kind of change we need in this country.

Conservatives need to focus on State and local leaders to make deep and lasting cuts as well. The power of the Tea Party is being felt in Washington and locally. Next year will be the year that government shrinks to a sustanable level, that the private sector can afford.

Left-Winger: Nonviolence Is Not Always the Answer; American Socialist Leader Calling for Revolution Says ‘We Are Not Pacifists, Violence Sometimes Is Necessary’

It seems like the left-wing in this country is calling for the same things they called for overseas, VIOLENCE! We have Muslims,unions and left-wingers calling for attacks on fellow Americans over politics. At this point in time does anyone not believe these liberals, Muslims and unions when they say it's time to get violent? A government shutdown will fall right into their chaos. The Tea Party needs to dust off our Spring jackets and get out and counter these anarchists and anti-capitalists. If we let these people take control they will sink this country into debt one city and State at a time. Pick up the phone and call your Reps and your governors.

I just got a letter from my youngest sons school district. They bashed Snyder and told parents to call them up. They gave all the "talking points" and the phone numbers. The unions will dress up the children like cannibals to make a point. They will do whatever it takes to get what they want right now. The problem is we have been giving in to their demands and what have we gotten in return? Are our children the best educated? Do they deserve the sub par education they are getting?

It's a "civil war", says Jesse Jackson. And they are the ones declaring this "civil war" on America. We better start taking these leftists seriously before it's too late.

Oops! Bombshell Hits Wisconsin Court Election

Corrected Brookfield Tally Puts Prosser Ahead After 7,500-Vote Gain

In one explosive stroke Thursday, the clerk in a Republican stronghold tilted the tight Supreme Court race in favor of Justice David Prosser by recovering thousands of untallied votes for the incumbent.

Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus said Thursday that she failed to save on her computer and then report 14,315 votes in the city of Brookfield, omitting them entirely in an unofficial total she released after Tuesday's election. With other smaller errors in Waukesha County, Prosser gained 7,582 votes over his challenger, JoAnne Kloppenburg, leaving the sitting justice significantly ahead for now amid ongoing official counting.

"I'm thankful that this error was caught early in the process. This is not a case of extra ballots being found. This is human error which I apologize for," Nickolaus said. Read more at jsonline.com.

Kloppenburg Campaign Statement

"Wisconsin voters as well as the Kloppenburg for Justice Campaign deserve a full explanation of how and why these 14,000 votes from an entire City were missed. To that end, we will be filing open records requests for all relevant documentation related to the reporting of election results in Waukesha County, as well as to the discovery and reporting of the errors announced by the County. We are confident that election officials in Waukesha County will fulfill these requests as quickly as possible so that both our campaign and the people of Wisconsin can fully understand what happened and why. Just as Assistant Attorney General Kloppenburg has run to restore confidence in the court, Wisconsin residents also deserve to have full confidence in election results."

Government Shutdown: Is the President Leading? OPEN THREAD

 

We could use a leader right about now? It seems to me like Obama just doesn't care if there is a government shutdown. I've never seen such an inept president in my life. And I remember what Jimmy Carter did to this country and the world.

There is a lot going on in the world. Comment on anything you want.

Japan Is Sinking Fast

It is true. Thanks to Japan pouring Yen into their economy and all the other Progressive tactics has put Japan on a coarse of destruction. Japan, the third largest economy, has put herself into massive debt. They did what we are doing back in the early 90's. These massive earthquakes and tsunami's has toppled the country of Japan. Japan wasn't prepared economically for any disaster, let alone a 9.0 quake, tsunami and nuclear disasters. Thanks to their national debt these disasters are sinking this great economy.

Within the next few years or sooner Japan will collapse. I think it may come sooner then later. The one thing I do know is the people of Japan will rebuild their country. They will take care of one another and they will act civil.

Can you imagine what will happen when Japan starts selling our debt to rebuild their country? How much cash will we have to print to pay that off? At this point Japan is printing Yen like we are printing Dollars so we are on the same sliding scale. The other thing is how will it effect us in this country if Japan's economy sinks?

Can our economy handle any more chaos? Can the world handle any more "community organizing"? The bubble will burst, are you prepared for when it does? What are your thoughts on the state of this and other countries? What should we do to prepare?

Rove: Obama Plans to Profit Politically From a Government Shutdown

AP Graphic

By Karl Rove

In the White House Press Room on Tuesday, President Barack Obama did what comes naturally — scold others. In this case, the Congress. Mr. Obama complained that a budget agreement "could have gotten done three months ago."

What he didn't say was that the budget should have "gotten done" six months ago, before the current fiscal year started last Oct. 1. Our government's failure to have a budget in place halfway through the fiscal year is the president's responsibility. He and his party dominated Congress by wide margins when the budget was supposed to be put in place.

In the short term, it's obvious what Mr. Obama hopes to gain. Having watched his standing as "a strong and decisive leader" drop to 52% in last month's Gallup poll from 60% last year, the president is looking to profit politically from a shutdown of the federal government.

Who get's to choose what is essential? Obama, that's who. He will pick and choose based on his politics. This is another reason how a government shutdown will serve Obama and the Democratic Party. Obama has the bully pulpit and he will use it like the community agitator that he is. But it might not turn out the way Obama thinks this time around. People don't believe everything he says anymore. The problem is people don't believe the Republicans either. I guess we will see what happens in the end after both sides have played their political hands. How do you think it might turn out?

Trump: I Have Investigators in Hawaii...'They Cannot Believe What They're Finding'

DONALD TRUMP: I am saying I want to see the birth certificate. It's very simple. I want to see the birth certificate. How come his own family doesn't know which hospital he was born in? How come-- forget about birth certificates. Let's say there's no birth certificate. How come in the hospital itself, okay? This is one of the...in the hospital itself, there's no records of his birth. In other words, it doesn't say how much they paid, where is the doctor, here's your room bill. You know, all the

MEREDITH VIEIRA: You've been privy to all of this to know this?

DONALD TRUMP: Well, I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're talking.

MEREDITH VIEIRA: You have people now out there searching-- I mean, in Hawaii?

DONALD TRUMP: Absolutely. And they cannot believe what they're finding. And I'm serious--

Is Trump falling for a birther trap? I'm wondering why a smart man like Trump is doing this if he didn't have a good reason. I would rather have Trump run against Obama's policies rather then the birth certificate thing. But maybe Trump knows something we don't. I just wish he would tell us what he has found out, if anything at all. I hope Trump is wrong, because if he is right this country is in big trouble.

Beck Explains His Transition

 

" Like Paul Revere, You Have to Get off the Horse". Many of the left-wing are moist after hearing of Beck ending his show at 5pm on Fox News. Someone else will take Becks place as "Paul Rever" letting us know what the government and their ilk are doing. There is still the demand for his kind of show. The market will not let his millions of viewers slip away. It will be interesting to see what Beck does next. I'm sure he will be playing a bigger role in politics. One thing Beck has that Olbermann didn't is millions of viewers. I wish him luck in his new venture with Fox News.

Unions Threaten: "Thousands of dead people's" If The Union Doesn't Get Their Way

This is the union event description.

Event Description:
The National AFL-CIO, several International Unions and others have called for actions around the country. April 4, 1968 was the day in 1968 when Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis where he had gone to support sanitation workers fighting for a voice at work.
Please join the Greater Boston Labor Council, Boston Teachers Union, Jobs and Justice, Massachusetts AFL-CIO, MTA, 1199SEIU, and SEIU State Council to stand in solidarity with workers in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, New Hampshire and other states fighting corporate politicians seeking to destroy collective bargaining.

The unions were asked to gather on the 43rd anniversary of the murder of Dr. King, a man of peace.  So they probably called for peaceful protests and non-violence, right?
Uh, no. Quite the opposite.
Watch this clip from the closing statements at the rally;

‘And to the Republican party of Massachusetts, if you think this is gonna happen here, it is going to be over thousands of dead people’s bodies.’

If that video didn't freak you out about these left-winger unions, take a look at what the teachers unions did to children in order too make a point in Wisconsin. They made their point that they will do some creepy things to children in order to get what they demand from the tax payers. "Eat the Rich"?  What is wrong with you left-wingers? Are you trying to dehumanise the "Rich" or the children? Because the whole thing was dehumanizing on so many levels to so many people. These pictures are going around the Middle East right now. Making children act, dress and say "Eat The Rich" is as sick as it gets. They used children to do what they wouldn't do. Why weren't the adults in control of those little children in the same make up saying the same things? It's bad enough the unions and left-wingers want to screw the children with higher debt, but nothing is sicker then teaching children to dehumanize the "rich". An nothing is sicker then dehumanizing the children like this. Turning children into cannibals is wrong and sick. The unions need to grow up or pack up and leave.
Buzzfeed captured some of the young living dead from Saturday:


Mediate found a video of the march, which includes chants of, ““What do we want? BRAINS! When do we want them? BRAINS!” Author Alex Alvaraz explains, “The insinuation being, of course, that brains are difficult to come by among Wisconsin lawmakers backing the bill:”

And yes, you did notice more children in the video:

“Faux News” even showed up and captured one kid in full face paint groaning, “Brains,” and another in a stroller with a sign that says, “Eat the Rich:”

But the most appropriate sign of the day probably belonged to this kid:

If this is what democracy looks like to the left-wingers and anti-American union leaders then I want nothing of it.

This Is How We Pay Off Our Debt: Paul Ryan Plan

Paul Ryan has the only budget plan that I know will work. It's a budget very much like my personal budget. We must start paying off our massive debt, not adding to it like Obama and the Democrats want. Printing money is a tax through inflation and that costs us all.  The Democratic Party and Obama want to keep putting a tax on our children so that they don't have to defund any of their pet projects. Raising taxes on the few businesses left in this country only makes it harder for them to do business here and sell products overseas with a terrif on our own manufacturing. Do you think higher taxes on say FORD make it easier or harder for Ford to sell their products overseas and here in this country? Do you think Ford would keep making cars here or where they can make money with lower taxes?

Paul Ryan has the only plan that will work to putting America back to being competitive. If we can grow more businesses here in America and bring foreign investments into American manufacturing we will all get a little richer. The UAW should love higher profits for the Big Three, since it all goes towards profit sharing.

What do you want to see done with the budget?

A Government Shutdown Serves The Democratic Party And That Is What The Democrats Are Banking On

How do you know when a Democrat is lieing? Yep, their lips are moving. While the Democrats are out trying to pin a government shutdown on the Republican Party they are saying a different story in private and on tape. When it comes down too it history has shown that a government shutdown has worked for the Democratic Party in the past. They will use the shutdown to demonize the "baby killing Republicans" just like they have done in the past.

The problem is I don't think the American voter believes the lieing zealot Democratic Party any more. Reality and rhetoric don't match up when it comes to the Democratic Party. They made a lot of promises and false hope that they didn't keep. They said they would fix everything, but the reality is they have broken everything worse then when they got it. We are broke and the Democratic Party wants to spend like 2012 is the last year. We must cut all wants from government spending and only keep the needs. We must pay down our debt, not make it larger every year for the next decade.

It's time we pay attention to America. We need to cut government spending or drown in debt like Japan is. We need to prepare for hard times by making cuts across the board. If we have a government shut down remember who it goes to serve if it comes to fruition. That is were the blame will lay.

Prices Are Rising Fast. What Are You Doing To Prepare?

We all know the effect that long term high gas prices have on our existance. We know the effect it will have on the auto factories, dealerships, food and just driving to work and back. I still remember the effect high gas prices did to the Northern parts of Michigan were people go to vacation. I love that part of this great and beautiful State of Michigan and we spend many days there throughout the year. It truely is Gods country Up North.

Now back to the subject. This year I see a lot of interest in home gardening and backyard homesteading. When I was a kid we raised ducks and sheep as well as a large garden for 4-H. Did I mention we lived on 3/4 of an acher in the Detroit suburbs? Everyone wanted to come play at our house and learn about the animals and eat the fresh fruits. The duck eggs were as cool as it got for our friends as kids.

I don't raise any farm animals, but I do have a large no till organic garden,raspberries,strawberries,elderberry,dewberry,mulberry,Bing cherry,Rainer cherry,Mongolian cherry,paw paw fruit,honey crisp apple,kiwi,grape,goji berry,fig and pear. I have all this on 3/4 of an acher down the road from where I grew up.

We eat well out of our yard and there is still lots of room to play. When we have people over they love just eating off the bushes. This year my families labors will pay off even greater then ever. Last year we were able to eat from Spring till early Winter out of the garden for our vegetables and fruit needs.

It always been about putting my land to work for me and my family. With a little time and effort this year we will be able to feed ourselves and many others. I'm planning on taking out some people I know to do some wild crafted food gathering out in the woods and water. We will collect and prepare enough for ourselves and a homeless organization in our county. Young kids love collecting the cattail tops in early Spring. We steam them and eat them like corn. It's a high energy food with lots of minerals. The pith is also very good in a salad and it tastes like cucumber. Digging up burdock and sunchoke roots and collecting the many edible greens. There is a quality to this kind of food that you can't buy in a store.

It didn't take a lot of gas to produce this food source. It also took my family out of the market, helping helping reduce demand by a little. I'm taking leaves out of the landfill and using them to produce a needed commodity. I help by keeping rare heirlooms for biodiversity and genetic diversity. The garden also takes carbon out of the air and back into the ground by using layered no till gardening. I use organic folier feeding so there is no waste.

My garden is high in organic material and minerals so we are eating the healthiest rich in nutrient foods we can produce. I never spray chemicals on the plants to kill bugs. I spray colloidal silver on the plants to kill bug eggs,bacteria and viruses on the leaves. Colloidal silver is also good for us as well and it helps foods last longer. A lot longer.

We can't do much about gas prices. But we can do a little by planting a garden. As the price of food keeps going up, the value of your garden is going up as well. God does most of the work and the payoff is great. Put the machines God made to work just by feeding the soil. Have fun and get the kids involved. It's their garden too. And don't forget to thank God for that salad.
Producing food from th

New Poll Shows Voters Think Democrats Are The Extreemist

AP Graphics

Voters continue to view the Republican agenda in Congress as more mainstream than the agenda of the Democrats. But only one-in-four voters think the average member of either party shares the same ideology they do.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 45% say it would be more accurate to describe the agenda of Republicans in Congress as mainstream, up five points from last month. Thirty-eight percent (38%) say it's more accurate to describe that agenda as extreme, while 17% more are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
But half of voters (50%) say the Democratic agenda in Congress is extreme, while 37% see it as mainstream, also up five points from a month ago. Another 14% are not sure.
In August of last year as the mid-term congressional races heated up, most voters (53%) viewed the GOP agenda in Congress as mainstream, while 57% described the Democratic agenda as extreme.

If the Republicans are the mainstream Party it goes to show the Tea Party is also a mainstream ideology. But we already knew that the liberal ideology is just a fringe group of extremists with less then 20% of the populous.

But not all thanks goes to the Tea Party for bring the Republican Party into then mainstream. We must thank the radical left-wing and unions for their part. Thanks to them and their vandalism, violent rhetoric and threats just about everyone looks mainstream. It's nice to see the conservative underground doing their job and sending out the pictures and videos of the left-wing violence and rhetoric to their email friends. Both sides must keep doing what they are doing and it will be an easy victory come Nov.

Obama 2012: President Announces Re-Election Bid With This Campaign Video

The official start of his second White House bid comes 20 months before the November 2012 election.

“We’re doing this now because the politics we believe in does not start with expensive TV ads or extravaganzas, but with you – with people organizing block-by-block, talking to neighbors, co-workers, and friends. And that kind of campaign takes time to build,” Obama said in an e-mail to supporters.

Let's see if Obama runs on "Hope and Change" again. I'm sure he wont run on his track record,jobs,economy,energy prices,war,obamacare... What will Obama run on? Will he blame Bush and Republicans? For the life of me I can't see what he will run on? The banks are still too big to fail. Gas is going through the roof,unemployment it still out of control and he hasn't fixed anything that needed to be fixed. Other then paying off the unions, what has he done for us?

What If Herman Cain Ran For President? Would The Media Call Him a "Racist Teabagger"?

At a recent Tea-Party event in Florida, Cain explained that he‘s itching for a chance to prove that there can be a black president that isn’t a “dud.” To prove his firework capability, he delivered a theory as to why the liberal media is ignoring him:

“The liberal mainstream media, notice how they have tried to destroy Sarah Palin, notice how the more popular Michele Bachmann gets, the more they try to destroy her? You want to know why they go after those two ladies more viciously? Because they know that Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin is going to draw a lot of the women vote away from the Democrat party. They are scared to death of that if they were to run and get the nomination. They are doubly scared that a real black man might run against Barack Obama.”

Shark-Tank.net has the clip (via Weasel Zippers). The relevant comments come around 3:00 below:

 If Cain does get the Republican nomination the left-wing and the MSM will become catatonic. But in the end they will call Cain a racist,baby killer even if it doesn't make a lick of sense. I would however like to watch them try their racist acrobats in typical left-wing fashion.

Once Again Islam Shows It's True Colors

 Granted the idiot burning the Qua ran is just that an idiot, who thinks Muslims had the right to kill people because the Qua ran was burned? This is the Muslim way. Is there anything we can say to a people that has a religion that demands it's followers kill 'infidels'? It's no wonder the Muslims are at war will everyone including their own. I think we know which side has all the hate.

United Nations Workers Killed by Afghan Mob
By ROD NORDLAND, New York Times

KABUL, Afghanistan - Thousands of demonstrators angered over the burning of a Koran in Florida mobbed offices of the United Nations in northern Afghanistan on Friday, overrunning the compound and killing at least seven foreign staff workers, according to an Afghan officials.

There were conflicting reports of the total number of people killed and whether two of the victims had been beheaded. Five Afghans were also reported killed.
The incident began when thousands of protesters poured out of the Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif after Friday prayers and attacked the nearby headquarters of the United Nations, according to Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, spokesman for Gen. Daoud Daoud, the Afghan National Police commander for northern Afghanistan.

Senator Obama Continues to Haunt President

Senator Barack Obama said, "no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else's civil war."
At the time Obama was speaking about his opposition to the war in Iraq, "Most of you know that I opposed this war from the start. I thought it was a tragic mistake," Obama said to a crowd at the Springfield, Illinois town square on Feb. 10, 2007.

Either he sounded stupid then or he sounds stupid now,which is it?
