Approaching the Fiscal Cliff

Let me start out by playing this video

As I had mentioned during the Debt Ceiling Debacle in my 20th Rant last year, this clip from Jerry Maguire where Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.) tells Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) to show him the money is quite fitting of what the American people (mostly from the Tea Party) are trying to tell the Democrats and Obama. Now, with it being 10 days, 10 hours, and 25 minutes until the new year, we are barreling toward the fiscal cliff and about to go over. Therefore, the American people are not only telling the Democrats but also the Republicans to do something to prevent us from going over the edge. On December 9, President Obama had met with House Speaker John Boehner (Republican from the 8th Congressional District in Ohio and also Schmuck of the Week on this very show for December 8, 2012) for the first time since the election to speak on a way to prevent us going over the fiscal cliff. You can find a good piece about the fiscal cliff from Robert Stacy McCain of The Other McCain.
We have not had a national budget in almost 1400 days, and every budget Obama had posited before Congress had not had a positive vote in the Senate, with even the Democrats opposing the Obama budget. When asked when the Senate would put forth their own budget. Max Baucus (Democrat from Montana who is Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee) and Harry Reid (Democrat from Nevada who is the Senate Majority Leader) both said that they are not required to put out a budget. These two are the main reasons why the Congress is in total disarray. The House had already passed a budget (thanks to Budget Chairman and 2012 Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Paul Ryan of Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District) for the past three years and sent it on to the Senate, but Reid would not bring it to the floor for a vote.
Day after day we are inching closer not only to the fiscal cliff but also toward socialism. There is a saying that elections have consequences, and we are seeing it happening every second with Obama just sitting around fiddling. The last time a leader fiddled while his country was collapsing was Nero back in AD 64 when Rome was burning. The words of Alexander Tytler are ringing true.
TytlerCircle
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.  It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury.
"From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising them the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.  These nations have progressed through this sequence:
"From bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to apathy;
from apathy to dependence;
from dependency back again into bondage."



Every day we are sinking back again into bondage. Right now we are in the selfishness to apathy or the apathy to dependence stage. We need to tell Obama, Boehner, Reid, and the other politicians to batten down and do something to fix this nation’s debt and prevent us from going over the fiscal cliff, or their time in charge will end in 2014 (all 435 House members including Boehner and 33 senate seats including 20 held by Democrats) and we the people will elect Congressmen and Senators who will actually know how to fix the economy.

My thoughts on the horrific shooting in Connecticut

Words cannot describe the feelings and emotions I am going through right now over this shooting. Luckily there have been others like Robert Stacy McCain and Becca Lower for their wonderful pieces (which I will link to toward the end of this entry) on this situation. One thing I have to say -- and I had said it after the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, earlier this year and after other shootings -- is that guns don’t kill people; gun LAWS kill people. This can be seen in other parts of the world where strict gun laws were in effect throughout history, notably in Cambodia under Pol Pot, Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, Russia (the old Soviet Union) under Stalin, and other places. Strict gun laws, where the government says that citizens cannot have firearms, lead to the government taking over every aspect of the citizens’ lives to the point that it becomes a totalitarian society.

And regardless of what we all think of Obama’s policies, I think he spoke right from the heart when he addressed the nation at 3:15 PM Eastern. In my mind, this was ALMOST like his speech after the Aurora shooting earlier this year and also the heinous shooting in Arizona which took the lives of 6 people and severely wounded then-Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Arizona) where he spoke truly from the heart. Do I believe him? Mayhap not, but then too now is not the time for politics but rather for prayers and healing. If he were to speak this way all the time, then who knows? After all, there is a saying I hear often (do not know how it originated) which goes “A broken clock is right twice a day.”  Mayhap this is the time in which Obama got it right. Now tomorrow he might say something which might make me despise his policies as normal, but today he spoke not as a President but rather as a father.

    ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas–Marine Style

    Just saw this in a link in my email Thursday:

    Merry Christmas, My Friend

    'Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
    In a one-bedroom house made of plaster and stone.
    I had come down the chimney, with presents to give
    and to see just who in this home did live.

    As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,
    no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
    No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand.
    On the wall hung pictures of a far distant land.

    With medals and badges, awards of all kind,
    a sobering thought soon came to my mind.
    For this house was different, unlike any I’d seen.
    This was the home of a U.S. Marine.

    I’d heard stories about them, I had to see more,
    so I walked down the hall and pushed open the door.
    And there he lay sleeping, silent, alone,
    Curled up on the floor in his one-bedroom home.

    He seemed so gentle, his face so serene,
    Not how I pictured a U.S. Marine.
    Was this the hero, of whom I’d just read?
    Curled up in his poncho, a floor for his bed?

    His head was clean-shaven, his weathered face tan.
    I soon understood, this was more than a man.
    For I realized the families that I saw that night,
    owed their lives to these men, who were willing to fight.

    Soon around the Nation, the children would play,
    And grown-ups would celebrate on a bright Christmas day.

    They all enjoyed freedom, each month and all year,
    because of Marines like this one lying here.

    I couldn’t help wonder how many lay alone,
    on a cold Christmas Eve, in a land far from home.
    Just the very thought brought a tear to my eye.
    I dropped to my knees and I started to cry.

    He must have awoken, for I heard a rough voice,
    “Santa, don’t cry, this life is my choice
    I fight for freedom, I don’t ask for more.
    My life is my God, my country, my Corps.”

    With that he rolled over, drifted off into sleep,
    I couldn’t control it, I continued to weep.

    I watched him for hours, so silent and still.
    I noticed he shivered from the cold night’s chill.
    So I took off my jacket, the one made of red,
    and covered this Marine from his toes to his head.
    Then I put on his T-shirt of scarlet and gold,
    with an eagle, globe and anchor emblazoned so bold.
    And although it barely fit me, I began to swell with pride,
    and for one shining moment, I was Marine Corps deep inside.

    I didn’t want to leave him so quiet in the night,
    this guardian of honor so willing to fight.
    But half asleep he rolled over, and in a voice clean and pure,
    said “Carry on, Santa, it’s Christmas Day, all secure.”
    One look at my watch and I knew he was right,

    Merry Christmas my friend, Semper Fi and goodnight

    The Greatest Danger to Our Freedom

    TytlerCircle

    Here is a very interesting piece that Blake Stephens had posted in The Patriot Zone.

    Some of you print notices to groups of folk. My hope is that ALL of you will read to the last line of this email and if you do believe that this man of wisdom, Alexander Tyler in 1787, hit the nail on the head with his statement about Democracies, you will share this information with your clientele and friends. Even tho’ we have a representative republic, I think it does apply to America today –
    PS> Amazing statistics on the recent election, too.
    This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time. The sad thing about it, you can see it coming.
    I have always heard about this democracy countdown.. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not
    that we deserve it.

    How Long Do We Have?
    About the time our original thirteen states adopted their
    new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a
    Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
    'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply
    cannot exist as a permanent form of government.'
    'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time
    that voters discover they can vote themselves
    generous gifts from the public treasury.'
    ' From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal
    policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.'
    'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations
    from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years'
    'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed
    through the following sequence:
    1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
    2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
    3. from courage to liberty;
    4. from liberty to abundance;
    5. from abundance to complacency;
    6. from complacency to apathy;
    7. from apathy to dependence;
    8. from dependence back into bondage'


    Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:
    Number of States won by:
    Democrats: 19
    Republicans: 29
    Square miles of land won by:
    Democrats: 580,000
    Republicans: 2,427,000
    Population of counties won by:
    Democrats: 127 million
    Republicans: 143 million
    Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
    Democrats: 13.2
    Republicans: 2.1
    Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...' Olson believes the United States is somewhere between  the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's
    population already having reached the 'governmental
    dependency' phase.
    If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty
    million criminal invaders called illegal's and they
    vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
    If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete
    this message. If you are not, then pass this along
    to help everyone realize just how much is at stake,
    knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our
    freedom.

    Even though the piece Blake posted had mentioned the numbers from the 2008 election, I think we can see it more with the 2012 election which put Obama back in office on the backs of the mooches, leaches, and parasites of this nation. Those people are the ones who Neal Boortz calls the “Dumbass dumb masses” who do not care about politics or if they do, it is only for 4 months and then only want a handout and not a hand up.

    I had mentioned in past blog entries that Atlas is shrugging right now, and if we do not do anything that the weight of the world will cause Atlas to throw it off of his shoulders. I am thinking that when we reach the final stage of Tytler’s circle (from dependence back into bondage) that it will be too late for this country as we know it. Obama and the Democrats are fiddling while America is burning.

    Corey Clagett

    The year was 2006. The place was near the Muthana Chemical Complex south of Lake Thar Thar, Iraq. The backdrop was Operation Iraqi Freedom. The target was a suspected al-Qaeda in Iraq training facility southwest of the city of Samarra. Colonel Michael D. Steele commanded the 3rd Special Troops Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat, 187th Infantry Regiment (also known as Rakkasans), 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and worked with Iraqi Army soldiers throughout Salah ad Din province defeating insurgents, Al Qaeda cells, and uncovering numerous caches of weapons and explosives. He sent Alpha Company to Samarra to assist the Rakkasans.

    On May 9, a Blackhawk helicopter dropped Corey’s squad off on an island consisting of two homes. The squad then approached one of the homes and discovered three military-aged males using two women as human shields. Corey’s squad handcuffed and detained the three men while the squad leader, Staff Sergeant Girouard, radioed Command to report the three detainees. The response was, “Why aren’t these terrorists dead yet?”


    Girouard held a meeting of the entire squad. He then ordered Corey and another soldier, William Hunsaker, to kill the three detainees. Corey and Hunsaker were coincidentally the two lowest-ranked members of the squad.


    Following the meeting, Girouard cut off the detainee’s zip-ties and ordered Corey and Hunsaker to shoot them. Corey recognized that he had been given an unlawful order. However, he knew the Rules of Engagement were to “shoot to kill.” Corey was aware of the Intelligence and knew that under the new “catch and release” program, the detainees would likely be released very quickly. These consequences weighed heavily on Corey as these detainees, once released, would most likely provide damaging intelligence to al Qaeda or even kill other U.S. soldiers. As the youngest and lowest ranking member of the squad, he was fearful of the consequences of disobeying the order.


    Corey decided to follow the order and accompanied by Hunsaker, told the detainees to run away and then began to shoot, killing two of them. The third detainee was mortally wounded and then shot in the head by Specialist Graber.

    When the squad was charged and detained, Corey was abused by American guards, often going unfed and being forced to sleep in the fetal position while chained. His conditions were harsher than those at Guantanamo. While the others who were charged were let off easily, with one even being promoted and subsequently redeployed to Iraq, Corey was charged with 18 years and spent 4 years in solitary confinement in Leavenworth.

    His mother, Melanie Dianiska, is trying to spearhead all efforts for the military to grant clemency for Corey. One of her efforts is taking his case to the internet, with the site http://www.coreyclagett.com and also taking it to various radio shows online. The intention is to garner public support for Corey and also get media attention for him. It is unfair that others had been handled with kid gloves and received lighter sentences while Corey has been handled with iron gloves and received a harsher sentence.

    The death of America and who is to blame

    AmericaGravestone

    Someone had posted the following quote on my wall a couple of days after the election on Tuesday, and it is oh so very true

    IN MEMORIUM: The United States, 236, of America, died at 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of George and Martha Washington. She has been a light, and inspiration, to the masses who have embraced her open arms, seeking freedom and liberty. She was a beacon of hope, to the oppressed of the world. She was non-denominational, but could be heard whispering, "In God We Trust." She was an artist that enjoyed painting picturesque mountains and flowing fields of grain, landscapes and wildlife of all kinds. She encouraged everyone who visited, to enjoy and engage in her favorite activities; gardening, sewing, quilting, planting flowers, and cooking her many ethnic dishes. In her younger years she was an avid explorer and pioneer. She is survived by countless children of all ages, devastated by her untimely passing. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by untold patriots and great armies that have protected her blessed name and dedicated spirit. Friends of Miss Liberty are asked to share her legacy and pray for her deliverance.

    Now, as far as who to blame for Romney's loss Tuesday which evidently led to the death of America, I think we ought to lay the blame on the three groups that deserve it.(WARNING: graphic language ahead)

    1.) The Occupy movement: Yes I know they are not around in as full of a force as they were this time last year, but they were the major lynchpin in the downfall of America.
    2.) The third party HACKS: If it were not for the third party candidates like Virgil Goode, Roseanne Barr, Jill Stein and more importantly Gary FUCKING Johnson I think Mitt Romney would have won the election. Here in Florida, Romney is losing (as the count is still going on) by 64,185 votes. Had the third party candidates (who combined had 68,576 votes with Gary Johnson grabbing 44,418 votes) voted for Romney, then he would have won Florida outright. Hell, I think it would have ben the same in the other states as well.

    3.) The voting electorate as a whole. In 2009 a video had first been floated about where people who had voted for Obama (who ranged in ages from 18 - 80) were asked simple, basic questions about who was in charge of our nation, who Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were, and other questions about politics that a 5th fucking grader should know, and they had no motherfucking clue on ANY of them! Take a look at this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3ZLJj_q4xI is the link to the 10 minute video) and you will see what I mean.

    I know there are others who deserve it as well, but these three groups I mentioned deserve the brunt of it and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. When I say this, I do not mean prosecuted in an actual court but rather in the court of public opinion, where it rightfully belongs.

    And while I am at it, can we all agree that TRENDS and OMENS are irrelevant? As I went to get the paper on Wednesday (and also walk into a tree with my fist in the process) I was thinking about the following trends and omens we had on our side this election:
    1.) EVERY election held on November 6 since Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 had gone to the Republicans
    2.) The last 3 Governors to be nominated to run v incumbent Presidents have won.
    3.) The last 3 times incumbent Presidents have lost, they were defeated by a Governor.
    4.) The University of Colorado prognostication
    5.) The Redskin Rule (Where there is a high correlation between the outcome of the last Washington Redskins home football game prior to the U.S. Presidential Election and the outcome of the election: when the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins the electoral vote for the White House; when the Redskins lose, the non-incumbent party wins. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redskins_Rule for more)
    I know there are other trends and omens that I had also heard somewhere but do not know them right off the top of my head.
    ALL of them got tossed out the window thanks to Obama and the joke of an election!

    Herman Cain had said that stupid people are ruining America, and he is oh so correct. Stupid people ARE ruining America, and we have seen it come out in full force not only in the presidential election, but also in a few of the senate races as well.

    The question now we have to consider is what we need to do about it. The answer will be posited on this show and in future editorials.

    Even after the election, our work is not done

    For many people, the only time they worry about politics is only from the week before to the year before Election Day. They feel that all they have to do is vote and that is it, but is it really? Is there more to politics than just voting?

    The answer is that politics is more than just a one phase operation. Sure voting is a part of it, but it is not the only thing. The other part is holding the politicians’ feet to the fire. And one way to that is by checking out The People’s Vote. Chuck Kirkpatrick and DariaAnne DiGiovanni are the two purveyors of the site which seeks to keep the elected politicians – whether it is national, state, or local – honest by giving the people a voice in bills and issues on the legislative docket. And with the current presidential election, the call to hold the politicians’ feet to the fire is needed now more than ever. If Obama wins the White House for a second term and the Republicans win the Senate and keep the House, we need to keep the Republicans in line by telling them to not give in to anything Obama does which bypasses Congress. Conversely, if Romney wins the White House and the Republicans win the House and keep the Senate, then we need to keep the Republicans in line by telling them to hold Romney to many if not all of the promises he had made regarding the repeal of ObamaCare.

    This election is VERY WELL the most important election of our lifetime in the fact that if Obama wins a second term, then America as we know it will cease to exist if we do not hold Congress’ feet to the fire. In order for America to remain the best country in the world, both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue should be held accountable.

    This election and the war on Coal

    My friend Glen Brown had written a very interesting post which pretty much sums up this election and also the War on Coal. So good in fact, that just to keep it in the shadows is not right. Here it is (typos included)

    ya know..I have been thinking... What is the use.. of green energy...and protecting the enviroment...if we are the only country that does it? seems to me to be a talking point that really has no basis.. most of the green energy thats talked about..is nowhere near developed enough to really make a difference. Coal Moners have worked for decades in this country.. and helped keep this country moving. I think the War on Coal by the EPA is unfounded..and stupid.
    As to the Election.. I think that alot of us are tired of promises.. tired of commercials.. and tired of working our butts off only to hand our money to the government. Social issues be damned. Obama is still the only president in US History to encounter a recession and NOT put a cap on fuel prices. Add that to outright lies..deceiving the American people, and doing his best to try to be a movie star rather than a president.. and that pretty much sums up everything. I'm not a big fan of Romney..but we have had 4 years of watching Obama sit in office and make decisions that have hurt our economy, driven costs of everything up.. and made it harder for the average american to survive. He screams he is for the middle Class...how can that be.. when he is regualting things so baddly..its non existant?

    What Glen said is so very true indeed. Coal Miners have worked in America for decades and could keep this country moving. In fact, as one Herman Cain had said when he was running for President we have our own natural resources (coal, oil, natural gas) right here in the United States, but it does us no good just keeping it in the ground while letting the other resource-rich countries leap ahead of us in resource production.

    With the exception of a few people, none of us had Mitt Romney as our first choice. In fact, he was my third choice behind Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich. But ladies and gentlemen he is the ONLY choice we have if we want to get Obama OUT of office. We have 10 days to do whatever we can to make it happen, and right now it looks good for our side, with Gallup having Romney up 6 points among likely voters and tied with Obama among registered voters; Rasmussen Reports also has Romney up 4 points among likely voters. We need to do whatever we can to keep the edge going for Romney.

    As I had mentioned many times in the past, Atlas is shrugging right now with the weight of the world he is bearing which Obama had added onto the past 4 years. Romney is the only one right now, October 27, 2012, to take some if not all of the weight off of Atlas and make it more manageable until the next election.

    More on this Presidential Election

    I would like to start this editorial by playing a wonderful video by Bill Whittle of PJTV:

     

    What Whittle said is SO VERY TRUE. A vote for anyone BUT Romney this year IS a vote for Obama. IF you want Obama out of the office this year, then the only moral decision you have to make is to VOTE FOR ROMNEY. I had said this in many editorials on this very show (see editorials for October 6, September 29, September 8, August 11, June 23, March 31, and March 24 as well as the entire show for June 23) that a vote for a third party, a no vote, or a write-in vote IS a vote for Barack Obama and the destruction of America as we know it. As Andrew Breitbart had said at CPAC back in February of this year, “If you are not in favor of this candidate for whatever reason, more than shame on you. You’re on the other side!” In fact, let me play that clip, which is my motto for this election, for you.

    Andrew Breitbart at CPAC – February, 2012

    I said it before, and I will say it again: “IF we do not vote for Mitt Romney in November, then this WILL be our future during an Obama second term

    (Video removed by user. find the audio at http://www.4shared.com/mp3/pNgbGs0m/Palpatine_Speech.html?refurl=d1url

    I said it before, and I will say it again. As was mentioned by Joshua after the initial conquest of Canaan (found in the biblical book of Joshua 24:15) “[And] if it disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today who you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River; or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” That verse is also applicable today. If it is disagreeable in your sight to vote for Mitt Romney, choose for yourselves today who you will vote for; whether Obama who has led America into the hell it is in; or the other minor candidates who will only serve as a front for Obama this year; but as for me and Conservative Nation Radio, we will vote for Romney.

    The battle for America the next month (#WAR and #ThisMeansWAR)

    In the Own Your Narrative at the Own The Narrative Network group yesterday, I came across this wonderful post by Bill LaRussa Jr. (aka Titan92 on Own The Narrative and @TonyKatzMane on Twitter):

    OK, so quick thing (Alright, maybe not so quick - TWSS):
    I was LITERALLY outraged when when I clicked on Drudge in the wee hrs of the morning to see that "Wow, only 114K jobs added in September. Maybe the Unemp rate even went up a tad to 8.2%." Then the outrage started when the # reported was an impossible 7.8%. "How absolutely fucking convenient" I howled to Texas or Busted on a skype call. Not even 2 g-damn days after Obama gets publicly humiliated in front of 70M people at debate, now he can change the subject for the weekend (and likely any momentum) while his sycophants in the media trump up this fraudulent (Yes, I said it, FRAUDULENT) stat to shepherd the 10-20% Idiocracy portion of the voting public.
    Now, y'all that know me well enuf know that I was one of the earliest supporters of Mitt Romney during the primary season (around Oct 2011). I stood my ground against all comers & made my arguments - and pissed the shit out of a # of fellow conservatives/libertarians too. But to me it was worth it. Why? Not to sound hokey, but I believed in this guy when most conservatives - and almost all activist ones - did not. I believed then & I believe even more now after Wed debate that Mitt Romney was meant for us as President at this moment in time. I'll spare y'all the laundry list of reasons, but I still believe them. He's even grown as candidate since the primaries.
    ("Titan, will you get to the effing point already?" Okay, I will.) Having said all this, I had my biggest moment of doubt about Mitt's chances of victory minutes before I clicked offline & finally went to catch some zzzz. My crisis-of-confidence moment now barely a month away from election day, when the rubber finally meets the road. Thinking (and texting to 2 political buddies) "You know, maybe this country really cant handle this whole self-governing experiment. These Chicago political M-fers on the other side will just win no matter how they can win, truth & evidence be damned. Screw it all. Blah blah blah blah blah."
    Then I read a story posted by one of my best amigas on the Internets, Karen Siegemund (who I hope I get to some day meet in the real world. Chat her up, she's good people - even for a Blue Stater :)). My random response to the story - about Obama team taking a woman @ Paul Ryan town hall out of context with her question & Paul's subsequent response (Yeah, imagine that!) was "#WAR, Karen." In that moment I was snapped back to reality of what's in front of us: 32 days to get this won & the way to combat these BS tactics by the Chicago Thuggery campaign is by channeling the Late Andrew Breitbart (God rest his soul.). Hell I have his damn pic as my freaking avatar. Give up? HELL NO. 32 days to go & everything we do to help turn out BH Obama should be with one Breitbart quote in mind: WAR! Concede no point to the other side. WAR! Don't even refer to BS manipulated statistics like the reported unemp rate, but state that there are over 24 million people out of work & millions of others working shitty part-time jobs because they have to. WAR! Accuse Mitt Romney of lying during the debate, while your own spokeslady Stephanie Cutter basically concedes Obama lied about the $5T Romney tax cut. WAR!
    You see the point. I'm snapped back into it. Hope everyone will be in the foxhole with me for 32 more days, because the tough part hasn't even started yet.
    #WAR

    What Titan said is oh so very true. We are 31 days away from the election, and we have not even gotten through the toughest part yet. In the words of John Paul Jones, we “have not yet begun to fight!” This election is WAY TOO IMPORTANT to just give up now. We must continue to press ahead if we must endure.

    Titan had used the famous quote #WAR in his speech. Let me play the clip from CPAC in February 2012 where Andrew Breitbart spoke those famous words which I use as my motto for this election.

    That is right ladies and gentlemen, if you are not behind Mitt Romney right now, Saturday October 6, then more than shame on you because you are on the other side. And to expand on Breitbart’s famous quote #WAR, I will go on to say that #ThisMeansWAR. And here is what I mean:

    So for all of you who are voting for Barack Obama or any of the irrelevant third party candidates who want a fight, you got more than that. You just got a

    #WAR!

    Yes that is right you liberals, you Occupy sycophants, you third party HACKS, my declaration to you is #ThisMeansWAR!

    The Tea Party and this particular presidential election

    A couple of days on Facebook, my friend Guy R. Smith wrote a letter which really puts this election in perspective

    This Particular Presidential Election for My Tea Party Compatriots

    Do you know why I'm willing to vote for, as many people want to frame it, the lesser of two evils this November? Because the other real choice in this Presidential Pageant is truly evil to the core. The determining factor to me is this; I have no question of Mr. Romney's love and respect for our Country, our Culture and our Society. And I have no question of the Dalibama's hate and disdain for our Country, our Culture and our Society. Everything else only rates a far distant second in this particular Presidential Pageant.

    The only way we are going to effect the kind of changes many Constitution loving and Libertarian leaning Americans espouse to is through the legislature not the President. We're making solid inroads in this endeavor in each election. My biggest disappointment in this election cycle so far is that We The People flushed $100 million+ down the figurative toilet chasing this silly Presidential Pageant decoy that the political establishment distracts us with every four years. Can you imagine what we could have done if those dollars had been invested in the campaigns of 100 real conservative House and Senate candidates?

    But we're just 3 or 4 years into learning how this game is really played and we're learning fast. We'll make major changes in the operation of the GOP over the next couple of years because we're learning how that part works too. And we'll equal or exceed the Congressional progress we made in 2010 in the elections of 2014. Again because we'll have this election cycle under our belts and we'll adjust, improvise and improve between now and 2014. We didn't get here in a couple of election cycles and we won't back to where we need to be a couple of election cycles either. But we'll get back there a lot quicker than they got us here.

    And after doing real research into who Mr. Romney is and his actual record, not the distortions put out in the primaries by Gingrich, Santorum, Perry and the rest of the GOP establishment candidates recruited by the Party to block Mr. Romney, as well as the distortions of the Dimocrats, I believe he has the right stuff to be a good, if not great President.

    That's why voting for the, as they put it, "lesser of two evils" in this particular election is not a choice, it's the only choice, period.

    What Guy had said is oh so true indeed. This election, the ONLY choice is to get rid of Obama. And as I had been saying in the past, the only one who has the ONLY ROAD to do it is Mitt Romney. Otherwise, there might not be any more elections to where we can make a difference. Keep in mind how Hitler came into power in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. He did it through manipulation and deceit. In 1990 I had said that Saddam Hussein was like Hitler when he invaded Kuwait and that if he were not stopped, he would invade Saudi Arabia and then the rest of the Arabian Peninsula and Northern Africa. Saddam in my mind was the military Hitler while right now Obama is the political Hitler, taking over the country using the political system for his gains. In 2008 he was elected on the promise of Hope and Change, and he is indeed doing that by changing America from a Capitalist society to a socialist one. If we do not stop him in November, then he will continue to fundamentally transform this country into a Socialist nation.

    Obama Voters

    Take a listen to this video from 2010

    Parasite #1

    Yes, this is a typical Obama voter who just wants things handed to her thanks to Obama, and if you do not like it then you are a racist. THIS is the mindset of many people who we are going up against come November. Also, there is this beaut as well which was taken from the Rush Limbaugh show a couple of years ago:

    Parasite #2

    and of course who could forget about this from before the 2008 election:

    Parasite #3

    These are typical of many of the mooches and leeches and parasites that are plaguing America thanks to the policies of Barack Obama. We have 46 days to show many people what 47% of Americans (if not more) believe in. As Newt Gingrich had said during the primaries, Obama is the Food Stamp President. Obama is looking to give a handout and not a way to give people support to stand on their own two feet. His economic policies have driven America to the brink of another depression.

    Bottom line is if you are looking for a handout, vote for Obama. If you are looking for a hand up to get you on your own two feet and move ahead, vote for Romney. The future of America depends on it.

    Never Forget What Happened 11 Years Ago

    EagleCryingRemember9-11-01

    I know I will not. In fact, I remember exactly where I was on this day 5 years ago when I first heard about the plane striking the World Trade Center. I was at a McDonald's enjoying breakfast and listening to a local sportsradio broadcaster broadcast live from there when he broke for his 45 minutes past the hour break. I was about to walk over to him during the break and say that I wanted to speak about Michael Jordan's return to basketball and play for the Washington Wizards when I looked at his face which is that of shock. At first report it seemed to me like a small plane and that it was a freak accident, but when I heard of the second plane hit the World Trade Center I knew that this had to be some sort of planned attack. I spent the entire 9:00 hour glued to his little broadcast station as he had a set of headphones which I listened to the producer back at the station speak to him and updating him. There were other callers who chimed in with updates from the televised newscasts. After the show ended I hung around for a small time listening, then the host's dad offered to drive me to teh college where I could watch the TV in the library as well as get current updates on the internet. While en route I phoned my mom and stepdad to tell them what had happened. My stepdad told me that he had heard about it and that mom was going to get me and tell me but she saw that I was gone. When I went into the library at the college to watch the news, I almost fell to the floor upon seeing the planes striking the Towers and the Pentagon. About 11:45 I got word that the college was closing and called my grandma in Chicago to ask her if she and dad knew what was happening. She said that dad was on the way to the store but that they knew what was going on. After I spoke to grandma I went home and kept the news on the TV all the time, gasping and getting angry as to what happened.

    I urge people to NEVER forget this day for as long as they live. I encourage everyone no matter where they are that if they have the American flag to unfurl it and wave it proudly, for as Frankin Delano Roosevelt said of another terrible day in American History, "This is a day which will go down in infamy."

    It is amazing how 5 years later, the horrific events of 9-11 still affects people. A lady who checked the terrorists onto that first flight that hit the towers killed herself because she couldn't deal with the guilt. Also, another checker who did the second flight.... is still five years later in intense therapy. This I had found out from a woman who I had seen in a chat room where I visit often. I guess this is a lot like Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

    Those words, written September 11, 2006, still hold true today. While the main proponents of the September 11, 2001, attacks are either dead or still imprisoned awaiting trial, we must not remember what happened that fateful day. We had been at war with Muslim extremists ever since 1784 when the first American vessel was seized by Moroccan pirates. That led to the formation of the United States Navy in March 1794 and us taking the battle to them. The Middle East has always been in the interest of the United States, as seen by historian Michael Oren in a speech given at Columbia University entitled The Middle East and the Making of the United States, 1776 to 1815. In fact, Oren had said that the Middle East 's Impact on American Affairs Is Nothing New. Not many know or realize this, but it is true.

    The Middle East will always have an impact on American affairs, regardless of who is in the White House or has control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The only question is how the people in control of those offices handle the affairs coming out of the Middle East. Even though many people hate President George W. Bush, he knew how to handle the affairs out of the Middle East. In fact, if it were not for the intelligence and the protocols already in place, Obama would not have had the opportunity to order the death of Osama bin Ladin.

    The Rundown for September 8, 2012

    Join Rick Bulow and Patricia Baber today as they bring you the week in news. The Democrats had their convention this week, and there were massive fireworks both on and off the floor. What were they and how does it affect the campaign? The traitor of Florida, former Republican now turned Independent Charlie Crist, also made an appearance at the DNC. Is he an optimistic American or just an opportunist? Those topics and more, including your calls, will be on today’s show.

    Come join us as we go back to a 2-hour show at the usual start time of 1:30 PM Eastern, 12:30 PM Central. The chatroom at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/conservativennationradio/2012/09/08/red-right-and-blue will still be open 30 minutes beforehand for all to come and engage the conversation as we prepare for the show. The call-in line is 718-305-7176 and you can also call in via Skype. Sometime during the show just click on the S next to where the phone number is at the top of the page and follow the instructions, then press 1 and you will be in the queue and will be put on the air as soon as possible. And for those of you on Twitter, you can also use the hashtag #RedRightBlue to interact during the show while you listen.

    Tell your friends, tell your neighbors. Hell, tell your enemies. This will be one show that will blow the roof off the place as we are leading up to the election on November 6.

    An open letter to ALL Americans (Post-Convention Speech)

    Here we sit at 59 days until the election, exactly 2 months from today we will vote for the direction we want America to go. Now, many people are still pushing the third party bolshoi of either Gary Johnson or Ron Paul or others, but I have espoused the failures of a third party vote many MANY times since March, which you can read at my 33rd rant and my 34th rant as well as my 45th rant and also listen to at my show on the June 23rd edition of Red, Right, and Blue. Allow me to reiterate those rants and the entire show once more so those of you who insist that voting third party is the way to go:

    THIS ELECTION IS WAY TOO IMPORTANT TO VOTE THIRD PARTY!

    In other words, a vote for a third party, a write-in vote, or a no vote this year IS a vote for Obama. If you do not believe me, then you need look no further than 1992 where Ross Perot gave us 8 years of Bill Clinton. I say 8 years as we all know that Bob Dole would have lost to Clinton in 1996 because he did not energize the base. This year we saw a Republican Convention where 90% of the speakers had given us enough oomph and impetus to vote for Romney. Even Newt Gingrich, who was harshly criticized by Romney during the Primaries, had even praised Mitt Romney and going so far as to compare him to Ronald Reagan during his speech. Don’t believe me? Take a listen.

    We have also heard speeches from many future stars of the Republican Party such as Susana Martinez, Nikki Haley, Luis Fortuño, and Marco Rubio. Be on the lookout for Fortuño and Rubio sometime in the future as they will be the next president. And yes, they ARE BOTH ELIGIBLE as they are natural-born citizens. I am also thinking Haley and Martinez could make a run for the Presidency as well. The bottom line is that the Republican Convention had shown that we have a good bench to support Romney.

    Now on the Democrat side of Washington, we do not see that much of a bench from them, and we even see that they are the most divisive of all. We see that in who they have as speakers, and also in their removal of God and Israel from the platform, only to put it back in after being called out by not only Bret Baier of Fox News Channel but also by many others.

    And even then, as seen below, there has been a battle over it. Take a listen.

    With the comparison and the battle of Conservative vs. Liberal and Republican vs. Democrat, all a third party will do FOR THIS ELECTION will serve to continue the divisiveness and thus ensure another 4 years to Obama to destroy this nation. I do not want that, and I know in all of your hearts you do not want it either. As I mentioned in my rants, this election you are either ALL-IN for Romney or you are ALL-IN for Obama. And if you vote third party, write in a vote, or stay at home, then you are in fact by default voting for Obama and the destruction of this nation. As Andrew Breitbart said at CPAC back in February (which is my motto for this election), “If you are not in the bunker because you are dissatisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you. You are on the other side.” In fact, let me play that clip for you once more so it will become clearer.

    I said it before, and I will say it again: “IF we do not vote for Mitt Romney in November, then this WILL be our future during an Obama second term

    I said it before, and I will say it again. As was mentioned by Joshua after the initial conquest of Canaan (found in the biblical book of Joshua 24:15) “[And] if it disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today who you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River; or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” That verse is also applicable today. If it is disagreeable in your sight to vote for Mitt Romney, choose for yourselves today who you will vote for; whether Obama who has led America into the hell it is in; or the other minor candidates who will only serve as a front for Obama this year; but as for me and Conservative Nation Radio, we will vote for Romney.
