Carney Blames Bush Admin For IRS Audit Scandal
May 11, 2013
JAY CARNEY: Two things need to be noted; which is the IRS is an independent enforcement agency. Which I believe, as I understand it contains only two political appointees within it. The individual who was running the IRS at the time was actually an appointee from the previous administration. But separate from that there is no question that if this activity took place its inappropriate and there needs to be action taken. The president would expect that it be thoroughly investigated.

US funded “insurgency” in Syria is actually a religious Jihad
May 10, 2013
Despite Hillary Clinton’s absurd rantings about fighting for Democracy, the main goals of the Jihadists in Syria are:
1) Create a Sunni Islam theocratic state
2) Impose Sharia law
3) Kill Christians, Druze, and Shiites
4) Launch a new Caliphate
Barack Obama has given over $300 million to Syrian fighters, on record. This does not even count the money that was given to them from classified budgets. Jihadists were also allowed to take sophisticated weapons from the Libyan army and transport them to Turkey, a country that is harboring and aiding the fighters. It is widely speculated that the US ambassador was trying to stop these arms shipments out of Libya. The ambassador was killed during a seven hour battle. Multiple whistleblowers say the White House ordered a stand down and allowed the ambassador to be killed. Despite previous attacks and threats of violence at the Libyan embassy, the US State Department had actually removed part of the security detail instead of increasing it.

Benghazi: Progressives Rewrite History in Real Time
May 10, 2013
If there was ever a moment in time when the American people could collectively glean knowledge from a “teachable moment,” the Obama Administration’s handling of the al Qaeda-related attacks on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya is surely one. From the moment the public became aware of what can only be perceived as an act of war, perpetrated at the hands of an enemy that has officially declared war on the United States and the West, the Obama Administration – Progressives one and all – have engaged in one of their favorite tactics of political opportunism: re-writing history.

One Hundred Articles Of Impeachment Against Obama
May 10, 2013
There is a growing groundswell within American Republican and Tea Party ranks that impeachment proceedings should be initiated against President Obama on a whole list of violations of the Constitution and the War Powers Act. ~ Peter Paton
Congressmen Allen West of Florida (R-Florida) and Darrell Issa (R- California) have consistently and loudly criticized the president for overstepping the political mark and bypassing Congress’s approval on a whole range of dubious policies and issues: and the recent Obama attack on the Supreme Court of Justice and the Russian ” Open Mic ” gaffe on National Security, leads to one question…

COVER-UP: Benghazi Testimony Contradicts Obama and Clinton
May 10, 2013
(Clash Daily) - Thanks to the record, the testimony, and the expert witnesses today at the Benghazi hearings, we know with confidence that:
– State department officials, including Ambassador Stevens, made numerous requests for increased security to protect our people in Benghazi.
– Those requests went to individuals at the highest levels of our government.
– Those requests were systematically denied.
– Indeed, security protections were reduced, the exact opposite of recommendations coming from experts on the ground.
– American government officials at the highest levels were warned about terrorist aggression in Benghazi and the likelihood an attack was imminent.
– Ambassador Stevens traveled from Tripoli to Benghazi in September of 2012 in order to forward the cause of formalizing and stabilizing the diplomatic mission in Libya, according to orders from Sec. Clinton.
– Government officials at the highest levels knew within hours that the 9/11/12 attack was perpetrated by identifiable terrorists, yet those officials purposefully lied to the American people, blaming the attack on a protest that got out of hand, based on rage over an offensive video. Even the Libyan president confirmed the attack was terrorist-inspired, planned and executed, and it had nothing to do with an offensive video.
– The terrorism response team was not even activated.
– Four Americans died trying to defend themselves and fellow Americans doing legitimate work in Benghazi. They called for help. Help was denied by government officials at the highest levels, even though resources were available.
– Upwards of 30 other Americans who survived have been locked down, sequestered and silenced for eight months.
– Thanks to remarks by American government officials at the highest levels, the Libyans were not cooperative in the immediate post attack period, delaying FBI ability to visit and secure the crime scene for almost three weeks.
– State department personnel wanted to come to the rescue of Americans under attack in Benghazi but the military was ordered to stand down, for no apparent reason, at least not one that has been articulated thus far by the Administration.
– House oversight officials, including Chairman Issa, tried numerous times to invite the cooperation of the Obama Administration in the effort to investigate and determine the truth. Chairman Issa reports the Administration did not cooperate, but indeed, the Administration stonewalled.

They’ve found the time (and, presumably, the money and resources necessary for the added bureaucracy and enforcement) to attempt to expand further their regulation of the farming industry, as well as outlaw certain seeds that haven’t been explicitly tested and approved.

On Wednesday, Representative Darrell Issa’s House Oversight Committee convened the ninth round of hearings on the lethal September 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, a number of iterations made necessary by the administration’s manifold efforts to stall, stymie, and deflect the investigation. Testifying were Mark Thompson, acting deputy assistant secretary of state for operations, counterterrorism bureau; Eric Nordstrom, former State Department regional security officer for Libya; and Gregory Hicks, a foreign-service officer and former deputy chief of mission in Libya, who, after Ambassador Chris Stevens’s death that night, became America’s senior diplomat in country.

Ariel Castro, Cleveland Kidnapper, Is a Registered Democrat

According to voter registration records, Ariel Castro, the Cleveland kidnapper, is a registered Democrat. He was also the alleged leader among the three Castro brothers, who were arrested this week, and the owner of the house at 2207 Seymour Ave., where the three abducted local women had been kept in captivity for over a decade.
Why is this important? Whenever a crime or a scandal captures national attention, the pattern in the mainstream media is to either identify the culprit as a Republican or hold silence -- in which case we can rest assured that the culprit is a Democrat.

The AP characterized the official hearings as "GOP hearings," making the proceedings seem like a mere political witch-hunt.

Don’t Investigate Obama Unless You Can Pay The Tab
May 8, 2013
The social security number (042-68-4425) bearing the name “Barack Obama” has failed the United States’ Social Security Number verification check. “I was outraged; nobody vetted this man,” said Seattle housewife Linda Jordon, who filed a self-check investigation listing herself as Obama’s employer (as a U.S. taxpayer). Jordon exposed the absurdity of a man who has access to the code for America’s nuclear football but couldn’t get clearance to pick tomatoes because his social security number has been flagged and kicked back! For her diligent efforts as a concerned American citizen, Jordon is being slammed with over $13,000 in fees and court costs because a judge deemed her investigation of the anomalies surrounding Obama’s social security number “frivolous.” ”I’m a mom, wife, homemaker,” says Jordon, who compared the 1 1/2 year vetting process her son had to go through to become a deputy sheriff with the lack of investigation into Obama’s history and documents. “Something is very wrong here.”

The Enemy Within Lives at the White House
May 8, 2013
According to Obama’s advisor on religious tolerance within the U.S. military, Christians sharing their faith, including chaplains, present “… a national security threat. What is happening [aside from sexual assault] is spiritual rape. And what the Pentagon needs is to understand is that it is sedition and treason. It should be punished.”
Criminalize Christianity as an official policy of the federal government pertaining to military personnel?
It is a short distance from that to jailing pastors, as they already do in Iran. Once the government grossly violates the 1st Amendment, preferring one group over another, it can prosecute anyone deemed a ‘threat to national security.’ The Constitution says the government shall not infringe upon the free exercise of religion. This president has no respect for the Constitution.
And they said it could never happen in the USA...

Entitlement Mentality: Tax Cheat Lauryn Hill Blames Slavery for Her Crimes
May 8, 2013
(Clash Daily) - Reclusive soul superstar Lauryn Hill has been jailed over an enormous unpaid tax bill.
Fugees singer Hill, 37, was sentenced to three months’ jail followed by three months’ home confinement for failing to pay $500,000 to the taxman in the United States.
Hill claimed the sum was outstanding because she had “withdrawn from society” after alleged threats against her family.
She was imprisoned after failing to pay the amount within the stipulated two-week time frame.
During her trial, Hill was ordered by the judge in Newark, New Jersey to undergo counseling because of her conspiracy theories – including that artists are being oppressed by a plot involving the military and media.
Hill pleaded guilty to charges of tax evasion last year. Her lawyers said she had paid more than $970,000 of an outstanding tax bill which amounted to more than $2m.
Hill vanished from public life to raise her five children by Rohan Marley – the son of acclaimed reggae singer Bob – following the success of her album ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ in 1998.
Shortly before she was arrested last year, Hill penned a diatribe declaiming the music industry.
In the rant, Hill blasted pop music for a “climate of hostility, false entitlement, manipulation, racial prejudice, sexism and ageism.
“Over-commercialisation and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual.”
During her trial, Hill claimed she is still forced to live under the pernicious economic hierarchy imposed by the slave trade.
She told the court: “I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them. I had an economic system imposed on me.”

Marco the Progressive's Newest Yo-yo
The report notes,
“Because U.S. government policy is highly redistributive, those costs are very large. Those who claim that amnesty will not create a large fiscal burden are simply in a state of denial concerning the underlying redistributional nature of government policy in the 21st century.”

Perversions: The Queen James Bible, the Gay Bible
05.07.2013

Obama To Grads: Reject Voices That Warn About Government Tyranny
05.06.2013
U.S. President Barack Obama gives the commencement address to the graduating class of The Ohio State University at Ohio Stadium on May 5, 2013 in Columbus, Ohio.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted.
We have never been a people who place all our faith in government to solve our problems. We shouldn't want to. But we don't think the government is the source of all our problems, either. Because we understand that this democracy is ours. And as citizens, we understand that it's not about what America can do for us, it's about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but absolutely necessary work of self-government. And class of 2013, you have to be involved in that process.

Author to immigration reform opponents: “A lot of people live in land that was taken from Mexico”
05.06.2013
This morning I switched over to CBS in advance of Face the Nation while I was working and happened to catch the last half hour of CBS News Sunday Morning. One segment they featured was an “historical” piece focusing on the Mexican American war, featuring an interview with author Amy S. Greenberg. She published a book last year titled, “A Wicked War: Polk, Clay, Lincoln, and the 1846 U.S. Invasion of Mexico.” As the title will probably tell you, she’s not approaching the subject as a fan of the Manifest Destiny doctrine.
A transcript of the entire segment is available here.

Obamacare Pimps Smear Lipstick on Another Pig
05.06.2013
Oregon study shows that many of the newly insured will be no healthier than if uninsured.
It must be tough these days to be a pro-Obamacare journalist. Every day brings more bad news that must be explained away. Thus, the implementation train wreck becomes the result of Republican parsimony, and skyrocketing health coverage premiums have to be blamed on insurance company greed. Likewise, any statistical analysis that suggests “reform” will accomplish little or nothing toward improving the health of those on whose behalf it was purportedly passed must be presented as evidence of progress. This type of fantasy literature is not easy to write. Go to the FULL STORY>>
