But as for me and my house ...
I find it an appalling insult to U.S. citizens, and especially the military and their families, that the very people who hate us, are being put in positions of leadership to speak for us!
Reported in Arutz-Sheva: President Barack Obama sent Muslim Public Affairs Council director Salam Al Marayati, who has said that Israel is a “suspect” in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, to represent the United States at a human rights conference in Warsaw. His [al Marayati] record of defending terrorists goes back at least a decade. In 2002 he referred positively to Rashid Ghannouchi, the head of Tunisia's banned Muslim Brotherhood-aligned Al-Nahda Party who was convicted for a bomb blast. Al Marayati said, "Ghannouchi is an example of those who promote this need for dialogue between civilizations, not confrontation.” Josh Block, a former Clinton administration official who now serves as CEO of The Israel Project, told the Free Beacon, “It is inexplicable that a person who blamed Israel for the 9/11 attacks and advocated for terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Hizbullah—which has killed more Americans than any terrorist group in the world except al Qaeda—was chosen to represent the United States.” Read the article

From the Beltway Insider:
In crafting and signing those executive orders, I wonder if Obama relied on the help of White House deputy counsel Cassandra Butts(1), White House special assistant Martha Coven (2), or the chief of staff or the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, Michael Strautmanis (3), all of whom were registered lobbyists. (I’m only numbering registered lobbyists.) Politico’s Anna Palmer reports: Industry insiders believe that Mitt Romney will unshackle the revolving door and give lobbyists a shot at the government jobs their Democratic counterparts have been denied for the past four years Yeah, I bet those Republican lobbyists will get envious stares from the likes of Fannie Mae, Cigna, Credit Suisse lobbyist Laricke Blanchard (4), whom Obama named deputy director of policy for the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation. Former teachers union lobbyist Gabriella Gomez (5) would be jealous – if her job as assistant secretary of Education gave her the time for such self-indulgence. Former crop-industry lobbyist Krysta Harden (6) must be thinking “why couldn’t I get a government job – besides my job as assistant secretary of Agriculture.” Read the entire article listing all 55 lobbyists in the White House. Solyndra, didn't get enough free money from the American taxpayer with the $535 million, government backed loan guarantee. Now, they want more!
The failed solar panel maker is now adding insult to injury by filing for Chapter 11 reorganization. If they are successful, the principals and investors will receive a huge tax break as a reward. [That's stealing more money from the taxpayer! The investors get paid back but not the taxpayer.] The tax benefit was provided by the Administration to evade political accountability, according to Newsmax. Thankfully, the Internal Revenue Service has objected to Solyndra's reorganization plan citing Solyndra's "principal purpose is tax avoidance." The IRS usually wins. If they don't this time, there's something fishy going on. For the first time in my life, I'm rooting for the IRS! Read more on Newsmax.com: Solyndra Seeks Tax Benefit in Bankruptcy Twitter exploded last night following the debate with innumerable threats from Obama supporters to assassinate Mitt Romney if he defeats Obama in the presidential race. This is in addition to the many threats by Obama supporters to riot if Romney wins.
The primary reason given: fear that he will take away food stamps. Obviously, they don't know that the President has to get Congressional support like the rest of us. I guess they don't want to work for their food? Thanks, Barack Hussein Obama. We are now at a new low thanks to your fear-mongering. Dennis Kucinich (Dem.-Ohio) asked a poignant question of Fed member, Neil Kashkari, who appeared before the House Oversight Committee: 'I don't think anyone questions, Mr. Kashkari, that you're working hard. Our question is who you're working for?'
The House of Representatives, led by Ron Paul, voted to broaden the U.S. government’s powers to audit the Fed’s activities - a step in the right direction, although it is not a complete audit - and the Government Accounting Office has completed the audit and reported it's conclusions. Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, and various other bankers strongly opposed the audit and warned Congress about the effects an audit would have on markets. I am not surprised that it didn't happen - they're not the gurus they'd like you to believe. Results of the Fed audit: Remember that the U.S. GDP is $14.12 trillion. $16,000,000,000,000.00 (that's $16 trillion - but I thought you should see all the zeros) had been secretly given out to U.S. banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Fed had secretly bailed out many of the world’s banks, corporations, and governments. The Fed likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest. Meanwhile, the American public is obligated to pay interest on the debt! The TARP Bailout authorized $800 billion to be given to failing banks and companies. But, Goldman Sachs alone received $814 billion, and the Fed donated our money as follows: $2.5 trillion to Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley received $2.04 trillion. The Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank, a German bank, split about a trillion and numerous other banks received hefty chunks of the $16 trillion. “This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you’re-on-your-own individualism for everyone else.” Bernie Sanders (Ind.-VT) The entire national debt over its 200+ year history is $14.5 trillion prior to the Obama administration. The budget that is being debated so heavily in Congress and the Senate is $3.5 trillion. The fact is that the Fed is trying to bury us. Why? It is a very old plan. See the link below I repeat: ARE YOU OUTRAGED, YET??? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, AMERICANS! Like vultures to carrion, the media is swarming around the new anti-jihad ads that went up late yesterday in Portland, Oregon. Mind you, the viciously dishonest anti-Jewish ads that have been running for a month drew no condemnation or response from these jackals. This is tantamount to the norming of Islamic Jew-hatred, and the sanctioning of jihad and the blasphemy lawsunder the sharia ("do not critcize Islam").
Read the entire article: On Monday, October 15th, the Justice Department filed a request to dismiss the lawsuit which seeks to have the executive privilege invoked by the president waived. Holder is already being held in contempt of Congress for not turning over memoranda which might reveal why the standing policy of intercepting guns at the border was changed. Of the 2,000 weapons purchased illicitly, 1,400 are still missing. This administration is not producing the highly dedacted documents we're used to seeing in the past - they refuse altogether. And, not just on this issue; but, on every issue. What happened to the 'transparency' the American public was promised?
Syria and Turkey are on the brink of all-out war
By David Blair World Last updated: October 11th, 2012 The Turkish border town of Akçakale after a Syrian attack on October 7, 2012 If anyone believed that Syria’s bloodshed would stay inside the country’s borders, the events of the last week should have put them right. I’m in southern Turkey, near the frontier with Syria, and this area feels like the new front line of the battle against Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Convoys of Turkish army vehicles ply the roads down to the border and, quietly, civilians are trickling away to safer areas. The reason is simple: cross-border artillery and mortar bombardments have become daily events. Last Friday, I went to the scene of the bloodiest incident so far, when a Syrian mortar bomb landed outside a family home in the Turkish town of Akçakale. By malign chance, a mother, her six daughters and a female relative happened to be outside, making dinner under an olive tree, when the weapon exploded beside them. They were, quite simply, cut to pieces. When I arrived, a severed human finger, covered in flies, was still lying on the ground. Three of the girls survived with critical injuries; the mother, three daughters and the visiting relative were all killed. Since then, hardly a day has passed without the Syrian army firing shells or bombs into Turkey, or vice versa. If another family dies in similar circumstances, the Turkish government will come under immense popular pressure to respond with full force. If the Akçakale killings were to be repeated, I would not be surprised if Turkey retaliated with a strike by troops as well as artillery, possibly accompanied with air power. The country’s parliament has authorised the government to do exactly that if necessary. In other words, Turkey and Syria are close to war. The two countries have been waging a covert, undeclared war since the onset of the uprising against Assad, with Turkey supplying the Syrian rebels and Damascus hitting back by fuelling the Kurdish insurgency inside its neighbour. But we could be close to the moment when this shadow war becomes a formal, cross-border conflict. The lesson is clear: a civil war in volatile region is like a brushfire. Leave it alone, and it will spread. |
