You have fought a manful battle and prevailed. Dear Gerry is with G*d, your kids are with you--and you are with us.
In the coming years, I hope you are proud of your fortitude and strength; I know we are proud of you. None of the decisions were easy. Thank you for providing a true standard of loyalty and love. The hardest of times often contain great beauty.
I will continue to pray for you and your family as you start your lives anew and accept G*d's choice. Everything is how it should be, as He intended. You won't be alone in this, with G*d's grace, as we intend.
Restore yourself with His word and live with peace in your heart!
President Obama Has Given ACORN $729,849 So Far This Year
By Matthew Vadum
The president’s new economic stimulus package, the so-called “jobs bill,” contains as much as $15 billion for radical left-wing groups such as ACORN (his former employer). Obama has been using his presidential bully pulpit to demand that Republicans in Congress “pass this bill,” even though there is no bill yet.
Despite all the rhetoric, the proposed “American Jobs Act of 2011” apparently hasn’t even been introduced in Congress.
Meanwhile, longtime ACORN ally Shaun Donovan, who heads Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), has been showering ACORN with your tax dollars. The money has gone to Affordable Housing Centers of America Inc. (AHCOA), which is the new name for ACORN Housing. Like a con artist trying to escape his past, ACORN Housing legally changed its name last year.
ACORN Housing grew out of crime: trespassing and breaking and entering. It emerged from a 1982 squatting campaign in which ACORN built a squatters’ tent city behind the White House. Rampaging ACORN activists routinely break in and illegally occupy property already owned by others – and your tax dollars subsidize this criminal activity, as I write in my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers.
HUD’s grants to AHCOA this year come despite a congressional ban on funding ACORN. Although the same longtime ACORN loyalists remain in charge of the massive housing conglomerate, HUD disingenuously claims that AHCOA has no ties to the ACORN network, relying on a slipshod, superficial legal memo written by someone who didn’t apparently understand how ACORN operates. And the mainstream media routinely let HUD get away with this kind of sleight-of-hand.
The most recent grant is dated Sept. 2. HUD gave $350,030 to AHCOA in Philadelphia for “housing counseling.”
In August HUD gave $300,000 to AHCOA’s head office in Chicago. The money is also designated for housing counseling.
Although the government’s USAspending.gov database identifies the grant recipient as “Affordable Housing Corp. of America,” its DUNS number (965998347) is registered to AHCOA. DUNS numbers enable nonprofit groups to apply for federal grants. Since 2003 the federal government’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has required federal grant applicants to obtain DUNS numbers. DUNS stands for Data Universal Numbering System.
HUD issued a $79,819 grant to AHCOA’s Miama, Florida office in March for a left-wing political agitation and indoctrination program known as the “Education and Outreach Initiative.”
AHCOA in San Antonio, Texas, will receive an undisclosed percentage of a $619,696 federal grant from the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling (NFMC) program. NFMC is administered by the congressionally funded nonprofit NeighborWorks.
When it was known as ACORN Housing, AHCOA was notorious for transferring funds to the most political branches of the ACORN network.
According to its tax returns, ACORN Housing gave the following grants to ACORN’s American Institute for Social Justice, which trained Alinskyite community organizers: $253,226 (2007); $67,112 (2006); $846,617 (2005); $947,609 (2004); $476,702 (2003); $566,535 (2002); $606,873 (2001); and $292,500 (2000).
The worst-kept secret in Washington, D.C. is that Democrats are desperate to find a way to ease Barack Obama out of running for reelection, so Hillary Clinton can receive the nomination so carelessly denied her in 2008. But how do you convince a failed narcissist to get out of the way so the grown-ups can take back the party? And how do you keep the most loyal and important voting bloc, blacks, within the tent, while shoving aside the first black president?
On Friday, September 16, Rush Limbaugh said that if the Democratic establishment want to get rid of Obama, they must appeal to his ego and convince him to go on his own. Rush has read Obama's ego perfectly, and here is roughly how it could be handled. Hillary Clinton, loyal Democrat that she is, has remained totally silent in public over her boss's floundering. But behind the scenes, she is or soon will be scrambling from one nation's capital to another, whispering in the ears of world leaders. Late in the winter, her hard work pays off handsomely.
Moon Rescue!
In early March, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivers a passionate address focusing on a new problem facing our world: collapsing currencies. In its wake, the traditional problems of poverty, disease, civil strife, unemployment, and social justice have gotten worse. To deal with these massive problems, in coordination with leaders of 30 major countries, he announces the establishment of a worldwide organizing and coordinating institutional body to manage the affairs of the world's leading economies.
To the contemporary American liberal mindset, such an organization would have great appeal, as a way of keeping in check the selfish America of which they are so ashamed. To them, it would enjoy legitimacy higher than the U.N., the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and even the National Football League. It would direct programs requiring resources and responses of the world's richest countries. They must pay their fair share. (Sound familiar?)
In the biggest surprise of the century, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon nominates President Barack Obama to lead this organization. He sees Barack Obama as the perfect (and indeed, the only) choice to be the first prime minister of the World Social Order Federation, which will formally begin operation in February 2013.
Shortly after this speech by the U.N. leader, Barack Obama and his Teleprompter announced to the country that solely because of the awesome responsibility thrust upon him, he most regretfully has decided not run for reelection as president of the United States. In the same speech, Barack and his Teleprompter announce his endorsement of...drum roll, please...Hillary Clinton to succeed him as president. (Vice President Joe Biden, true to his style, responds, "This is a big f'in' deal!")
As the head of this new governing body, Barack Obama will have an unlimited budget, unlimited authority, and no Congress to thwart his plans. His term of office is indefinite. He will have to answer to no one. (And the billion dollars in his campaign chest -- it is all his!) Whew! Talk about "king of the world"! For the first time in her life, Michelle Obama is truly proud of her world.
Of course, this is an offer that The Hillary can't refuse. With the endorsement of Barack Obama, she can say she was called back into elective politics. ("I keep trying to get out; they keep pulling me back in.") She runs (and wins) without angering a certain large and loyal voting constituency. And Bill is green with envy -- not at Hillary, but at Barack Obama! "That's the job I wanted!" He can't get over it. It's a win-win-win for the formerly beleaguered First Lady. Happy days are here again, indeed!
Everybody wins (on the left). Hillary Clinton finds a way to jump over Barack Obama without looking like a racist. Barack Obama finds a perfect way to avoid a humiliating loss, and yet get what he could not obtain as president. And the Democrats, having elected the first two black presidents (Barack Obama and Bill Clinton), elect the first female president, too.
If I had to make a prediction, at this date, I'd still put my chips on Mr. Yes-We-Can to take out the opposition and remain in the White House for four more years. But I think that my scenario is a real possibility...a lot more likely than a comeback by Brett Favre.
(Snip)... In order to “transform” our country into the totalitarian statist nightmare leftists like Obama envision, in which Big Government controls every facet of the lives of its citizens from cradle to grave, it takes the nationalization of major industries and the destruction of others, for instance the once-flourishing agricultural industry of America’s heartland.
Indeed, horrible weather has ravaged those industries, as states from north to south have been relentlessly assaulted by hurricanes, tornadoes, massive floods and also wild fires, effectively destroying all of the crops, along with the businesses—many of them decades-old family enterprises.
Could it be that our weather is also being manipulated? About a year or two ago, I first learned of the chemtrails being sprayed from unmarked cargo planes not only in the United States but throughout the world. People who have analyzed the fallout have reported a number of highly toxic chemicals—an extremely poisonous brew including barium, nano-aluminum-coated fiberglass, radioactive thorium, cadmium, chromium, nickel, desiccated blood, mold spores, yellow fungal mycotoxins, ethylene dibromide, and polymer fibers—and, in certain areas of spraying, a noticeably elevated incidence of upper-respiratory ailments and other sicknesses, as well as thousands of dead birds and fish.
A compelling film, What in the World Are They Spraying?, describes this bizarre phenomenon, made all the more so by the striking absence of investigative reporting and by the utter failure of our meteorologists to acknowledge the existence of chemtrails or their affect on the strange weather patterns we’ve been experiencing. Some have speculated that this is a United Nations enterprise designed to combat [the colossal hoax of] global warming by blocking the sun with the dispersed chemicals.
Others, however, have a more scientific explanation, saying that the spraying is a precursor that provides the medium necessary for the activities of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP, to take place. According to its home page, HAARP, which is a huge complex in Alaska, is comprised of antennae using radio frequencies, which “has been in continuous use since the 1950s to investigate fundamental physical principles which govern the earth’s ionosphere…” The facility also encompasses a five-country consortium, including Norway, Peru, Russia, Ukraine and Tadzhikistan.
The goal, HAARP’s website states, is to create weather conditions “in localized regions” that “nature produces randomly and regularly on a much larger scale.” Further, the site reveals that the program is run by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Department of Defense under the US Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
Mmmmmm. A program to manipulate the weather that is run by the DoD and the United States military... what could go wrong?
Tax Breaks to Middle Class Families Outstrip Those to Special Interests
By Rick Moran
This is a fascinating article in the Washington Post about where most of the tax breaks in America goes; middle class families:
Broad tax breaks granted to millions of families at all income levels dwarf the corporate giveaways. Over the past two years, largely because of these popular benefits in the federal income tax code, the government has reached a rare milestone in tax collection - it has given away as much as it takes in.
The number of tax breaks has nearly doubled since the last major tax overhaul 25 years ago, with lawmakers adding new benefits for children, college tuition, retirement savings and investment.
At the same time, some long-standing breaks have exploded in value, such as the deduction for mortgage interest and the tax-free treatment of health-insurance premiums paid by employers.All told, federal taxpayers last year received $1.08 trillion in credits, deductions and other perks while paying $1.09 trillion in income taxes, according to government estimates.
Only about 8 percent of those benefits went to corporations. (The write-off for corporate jets equals about .03 percent of the total.) The bulk went to private households, primarily upper middle-class families that Obama has vowed to protect from new taxes.
You can't go to war with families, so Obama and the Democrats are doing the next best thing; trashing "millionaires" who may or may not benefit more from the tax code than the middle class.
Pitting one class against the other is just about all Obama has as a reelection strategy given his dismal record. It certainly has nothing to do with debt reduction, nor, as the Post article shows, "fairness."
Speaker’s Suggestion that Protesters Start Urinating on GOP Lawmakers Draws Applause
MacIverNews Service
[Madison, Wisc…] Thousands of liberal political activists, gathered here Saturday for an annual conference, cheered and laughed as a speaker recounted the recent assault of a GOP lawmaker.
The crowd attending the Fighting Bob Fest also rejoiced at the suggestion that protesters, instead of dumping beer over the heads of Republicans, should urinate on them.
“This is Wisconsin, this is the place where you had some guy pour a beer on the head of a Republican State Senator?” said Fest speaker Greg Palast as the crowd erupted with cheers. “No, no, no, that’s all wrong. You can’t do that. That’s just wrong. I’m from New York. If you’re going to pour beer on a Republican, you have to drink it first.”
In audio of Palast’s speech posted online, the crowd can then be heard breaking out in loud and sustained cheers and laughter.
Madison Police on Friday cited Miles Kristan, commonly referred to as ‘Pink Dress Guy’ with disorderly conduct for an incident that occurred Wednesday evening. According to police reports, Kristan dumped a beer over State Representative Robin Vos (R-Rochester) and two of his colleagues GOP Reps Scott Suder (Abbotsford) and John Nygren (Marinette) at the Inn on the Park hotel bar and restaurant.
The incident has brought to a head concerns by conservatives in Madison that law enforcement there have not taken threats to public safety seriously. Many on the Left, however, have openly mocked the incident as humorous and minimal, although most of this has come in the form of facebook and twitter postings and none in such a public fashion as Palast, an author and freelance journalist, brazenly did on Saturday.
See the vid, which was posted on the liberal Democurmudgeon:
The inciting comments and crowd reaction come one day after State Representative Steve Nass (R-Whitewater) said he believed Madison law enforcement leaders are partially to blame for the escalation of disorderly and dangerous conduct by protesters in the Capitol city.
Nass believes that Madison Police Chief Noble Wray, Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney, Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs and Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne have been more interested in cooperating with protesters than enforcing the law.
“The problem is not with rank-and-file police officers. They have had enough, as well. Frankly, the problem rests squarely with the top law enforcement leaders that have let their partisan views interfere with the conduct of their offices,” Nass said.
(snip)
Many conservatives share Nass’ concern that Madison authorities, while not mocking the incident as publicly as Palast, appear to be supportive of Kristan’s antics. Nass warns this casual attitude toward unrest could reach a boiling point.
In this exclusive video interview with the MacIver News Service, Nass said, “[I]f Madison law enforcement authorities don’t begin to crack down on the repeated and escalating harassment of lawmakers and staff “somebody is seriously going to get hurt…or killed.”
One Response to “Speaker’s Suggestion that Protesters Start Urinating on GOP Lawmakers
Isn’t there a video clip of police union spokesman Jim Palmer using a bullhorn in the rotunda during the heat of the protests, assuring the protesters that police were not going enforce any rules that they didn’t agree with? I remember hearing it, and realizing, that when the police are more loyal to their unionistas than they are to rule of law…there will be big trouble.
(snip)
Madison is getting an even worse reputation for itself…consider the Chief of Diversity and Climate ratchiting up the demo’s last week and sic*ing the protesters on the press conference of the right wing speaker. Watch that video and see the police standing around, walking around, doing nothing about the breaking and entering of private property, physical attack of employees, violation of the speech rights of the conservative speaker and refusing to leave.
They will have no one to blame but themselves, when it explodes…but, even then, they’ll be calling for gun control so they are the only ones able to defend. This is why the right to citizens to protect themselves must be upheld. If Chief Wray doesn’t like that, he doesn’t have to look any further to wonder why honest and lawful citizens wouldn’t feel safe depending on him and his policies.
(Snip)... Without the New Media, it is unlikely “we the people” would know anything about the recent filing of a brief in Seattle last week by a trans-national group of blacks. As relatively few people are still aware of it, let me briefly describe this legal action. Link
The plaintiffs, who refer to the defendant (the Democratic Party), as the “Father of Racism,” allege that the Democratic Party has refused to admit the role they played in promoting slavery, and Jim Crow laws, and other racist practices from 1792 to 2011. They simply want the Democratic Party to acknowledge their long history of racism—and apologize for it.
It was, after all, liberal Democratic icon Woodrow Wilson who revitalized and promoted the Ku Klux Klan. It was the Democrats who vehemently opposed every legal action designed to give blacks their constitutional rights; including Plessy v Ferguson, and Brown v. the Board of Education. In fact, right up until their cynical “flip” in the early 1960s, the Democrats were unrepentantly racist—fighting Republicans tooth and nail to keep the black community down.Link
Since the 1960s their racism has been much more subtle and devious. Nonetheless, their machinations have been devastating for the black community. Yet despite the destruction of their two parent families, the deplorable mis-education offered to their children, and an unemployment rate much higher than the nation’s norm, most blacks remain loyal to Obama and the Democratic Party. They have been thoroughly indoctrinated for generations, and are terrified to leave the Democrat’s Plantation. LinkLink
The Democrat’s Plantation comes complete with black overseers, who generally have a “reverend,” or some other honorific before their name. Leave the Plantation, and they will sic the dogs on you, to track you down and bring you back. The overseers are aided and abetted by the “crab mentality” phenomena—“If I can’t have it neither can you;” as graphically demonstrated by crabs, who pull back down any of their brethren who try to escape from a bucket full of live crabs. LinkLink
Blacks who try to escape the Plantation are told (in no uncertain terms) to stay on the Plantation, and the government—“Massa”—will take care of them. They are told to stay on the Plantation, or else…. The entitlement mentality is nothing but a gussied up slave mentality. “Massa takes good care of us. We be fools to leave the Plantation and fend for ourselves.” Link
As an aside: How has the leftwing palmed their KKK onto the rightwing? The same way they palmed their Socialist Workers Party, the NAZIs, onto the rightwing—by using lies, obfuscation, misdirection, and incessant media propaganda. Well they can take both their KKK, and their NAZIs, and shove them where the sun does not shine. They belong to the Left—always have, and always will. Take them liberals—own them—they are YOURS!
