The comments from Ron Schiller, a senior executive at NPR and president of the NPR Foundation, were made during a meeting with two people posing as members of a fictitious Muslim organization. The two activists, who recorded the February meeting on hidden camera. Read the rest of this entry »

Madison Wisconsin. (February 28) The call went out far and wide for massive protests to stand with the unions in Wisconsin. Every liberal, socialist, communist, Marxist, anarchist and left wing group in the country spread – and answered – the call.
I have been watching in rapt fascination as a little known governor from an often overlooked state is honoring the campaign promise made when elected in November, to balance the budget in Wisconsin. In fulfilling his promises, a rare and honorable thing among politicians, Wisconsin has become a battle focused battlegound over far more than a state budget. Read the rest of this entry »

Post Election Analysis: Alan Grayson The Most Ridiculous Congressman In Recent Memory
Posted: 14 November, 2010 Filed under: Barack Obama, Health Care, Mid Term Election, ObamaCare, Politics, Progressive Agenda, Tea Party | Tags: barack obama, congressional elections, dear leader, democratic party, health care reform, liar, liberal agenda, obamacare, progressive agenda, Tea Party 1 Comment »Some months ago, I wrote an article about Congressman Alan Grayson which wasn’t my finest literary work ever, but it was generally well received and, more importantly, writing it quelled my urge to throw the guy a beating. I’m sure there were thousands of people who wanted to throw him a beating as well, but I realized it just wasn’t a productive idea. In case you don’t recall the circumstances which compelled me to write the article, Grayson, a Democrat from Florida, delivered a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives which purported to describe the Republican plan for health care reform. He explained, that the Republican plan was die quickly.
Knowing, as I do, that Democratic politicians have a propensity for lying, I shouldn’t have been surprised, but I was nonetheless. It saddened me that any American politician would lie so outrageously. Surely the Democratic leadership would denounce Grayson for this outrage. Nope, I was let down again, when Barack Obama called Grayson “an outstanding member of Congress,” rather than condemning this heinous act. Support from the Dear Leader was, at the very least, tacit approval of Grayson’s deplorable behavior. Grayson and Obama it seems, are two peas in a pod.
But, I wrote the article, calmed down and moved on, forgetting Grayson just like everyone else. But this idiot just wouldn’t go away. As we entered the 2010 midterm election season, Grayson crawled out from under his rock again, this time producing a personal attack television commercial condemning his Republican opponent Dan Webster, who Grayson called Taliban Dan. The commercial was a hack job using a 3 second video clip from a speech which Mr. Webster had delivered to his prayer group and reversed the context by 180 degrees. More than one political think tank went on to declare Grayson’s commercial the most dishonest ad to air in more than two decades.
So, it is in this post election wrap-up that I am thrilled to report that the good people of Florida saw through the never ending avalanche of bulls#!t from Grayson, and ousted him from Congress on November 2 in favor of a quiet conservative by the name of Dan Webster. And it wasn’t close. The final tally: Webster 56 percent to Grayson’s 38 percent.
In an interview later in that week on MSNBC, Grayson evaluated his strategy and defeat explaining that he lost because Democrats nationally didn’t get out the vote. “If Democrats don’t vote, Democrats can’t win.” He went on to explain that “Democrats are saddened and demoralized by this policy of appeasement” that he believes always leads to defeat where compromise is not an option. Compromise, he continued, was not possible with Republicans because their entire strategy is “no.”
While every savvy political pundit universally agrees that Democrats took a beating as a repudiation of Obama’s socialist policies, this idiot thinks that the Democrats weren’t liberal enough. I can only pray the Democratic Party keeps fielding candidates just like this one.

Election Effects Probably Not Considered Yet

There has been more media coverage of this election than any other mid-term election in my life. For the last several months, election coverage has increased daily, reaching overwhelming levels. Being a political news addict, I’ve absorbed most of it, much to the consternation of my beautiful wife. But, it occurred to me the other day, that virtually all news coverage has focused on House and Senate races. Races for governorships and state legislatures going largely ignored.
I scrambled to learn what was at stake and determine the likely outcomes of these state races. I felt tingles up my leg (sorry about this side note, I just can’t pass up the opportunity to humiliate MSNBC anchorman Chris Mathews, a moron whose leg tingles every time Obama speaks) because the news is better than I would have hoped.
At stake today: 37 governorships and control of 88 state legislatures out of the 99 in the country. Control of these seats will give the party that controls them a tremendous advantage in redrawing congressional districts which now must take place following the 2010 Census. Which party will prevail in these under-reported races? Here is my prognostication for this election night:
Republicans will win several swing state governorships from Democrats, like Iowa and Michigan, along with Pennsylvania. Huge swing states, like Ohio and Florida, are supposedly too close for pundits to call. Not being a pundit, I’ll call them. By tonight, Florida will have a Republican Governor, and my friend, John Kasich will be the new Republican Governor of Ohio.
The state legislatures in several states will swing back to the GOP with 6,000 legislative seats on the line. Nationally, as I said, 88 of the 99 legislative chambers are on the line. When Republicans last rode in on a wave of discontent, in 1994, they won the Congress, but they also won more than 500 state legislative seats. This year it may be even bigger.
For the first time since Ronald Reagan was President, Republicans will be well positioned for redistricting Congressional Districts. This makes the popular groundswell even more significant than the press will ever report, and it makes future conservative movements even more likely.
This year, millions of Americans, who were never before politically active, woke up, much like America did after Pearl Harbor. They knew things weren’t right and knew Obama’s policies were wrong. They knew the big government, tax and spend agenda was harmful. They knew their elected representatives should have listened to them, instead of telling them to sit down and shut up. They knew they had to do something when a narcissistic sycophantic progressive said they were un-American, said they were scared and said they would cling to their guns and their religion.
This year, millions of Americans awoke like a sleeping giant, became mad as hell, and decided they weren’t going to take it anymore. They went to town hall meetings and gathered with their neighbors. They kept going, their numbers growing, even with the liberal media attacking them every day.
Today is a very good day. It is the culmination of their efforts. Hard-working, honest Americans, who care about their country and want to take care of their families, who began by gathering with their neighbors, became the Tea Party and their numbers swelled into the millions. Today, those good folks begin taking their country back from the progressives and the socialists. And today, hundreds of blue seats will turn red.
As a special note to the Democratic Party and the liberal media: we aren’t racists, we aren’t un-American, we aren’t AstroTurf and we aren’t the enemy. We are Americans. We are Patriots. And, although it was a long road getting here, today we’re taking our country back. You are done here.
Last Minute Break Right For Independents
Posted: 2 November, 2010 Filed under: Housing, Mid Term Election, Politics, Tea Party | Tags: congressional elections, democrats, house, independent, independent voters, independents, obama, polls, republicans, senate, Tea Party Leave a comment »The Democrats’ final push to woo undecided voters fizzled, putting dozens of Congressional races beyond reach and destroying the Democrats chances in at least four toss-up Senate seats. That is, at least, according to Democratic strategists and party officials.
Independents, a crucial swing bloc, hell this year they are The swing bloc, are breaking sharply for Republicans in the final days of the campaign. New polls released this morning show swings of as much as 14 points in the last week.
Stuart Rothenberg, a nonpartisan pollster, said Friday he thought the Republicans could pick up as many as 70 House seats. This, my fellow patriotic Americans, is a beat down which has not been accomplished since 1948.
Republicans must pick up 39 seats to seize control of the House of Representatives. This outcome, I guaranty, is now a forgone conclusion. By this time tomorrow, Republicans will be contemplating who among them will be the next Speaker of the House.
The eleventh hour free fall in Democratic support among independents is also keeping alive the GOP’s longer-shot hopes of taking the Senate.
Obama has been campaigning strong, in the style which is uniquely his. The deep baritone chant which blames Bush, blames Republicans and claims that Republicans are undermining the voting process by trying to buy the vote. He has really beaten this drum for weeks. The problem for Obama, is that, like the fabled emperor, he has no clothes. In short, American voters now see him as the liar he is.
On Obama’s claim that Republicans are trying to buy the vote, the truth is that Democrats have outspent Republicans in this election cycle by more than $400,000,000. The President, as is his custom, is lying.
Democratic strategists acknowledge their biggest problem is the frustration being expressed by swing voters with Obama. They are – privately – very concerned with voter disenchantment on the 2012 elections, especially since Obama is the source of this disenchantment.
Independents are voting against Democrats because of Obama and the more he campaigns for Democratic candidates, the more he seals their fate. Democrats are being called ‘Obama liberals,’ and the strategy is proving very effective.
Nationally, independent voters, who backed Democrats in 2006 and 2008, have swung to the GOP. In the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, 52% said they would vote Republican this time. Obama, who won 52% of independents in 2008, now enjoys just 40% support among that group.
With enthusiasm rising on the right, and free falling on the left, no Democrat is completely safe.
ebbing on the left, Democratic candidates needed this year to win over even more independent voters than Mr. Obama did in 2008, strategists said. Candidates who have been banking on making up this ground in the closing days have instead seen independent voters flocking to the GOP.
For example, Rick Boucher of Virginia, who has comfortably held his seat for 14 terms, has suffered a sharp drop in support among independents. Just a month ago, polls showed him up by more than 12 points over his opponent. That race is now too close to call. The reason: Boucher’s ties to Obama.
Another Democrat, this one from Rhode Island, told Obama to “Shove it” the other day. I prognosticated this very phenomenon some months ago, saying that Democrats would cannibalize themselves while trying to keep their jobs in my article XXXX.
In Pennsylvania, where Obama won independents by 19 points, Republican Senate Pat Toomey has a 13 point lead over Democrat Joe Sestak among independents. Democrats say the trouble for Sestak among independents could pose less of a challenge than in other Senate races, as Democrats hold a 1.2 million-voter edge in party registration in Pennsylvania, while only about one in 10 voters there is unaligned with the major parties. Blah, blah, blah. The talking heads can explain it away how they will, but the fact remains: the Pennsylvania Senate race is going Republican.
In Mr. Obama’s home state of Illinois, Republican Senate candidate Mark Kirk has moved in the polls from winning 38% of independents to now winning half of them. Kirk is in a dead heat with Obama’s man, Democrat Alexi Giannoulias. Apparently, even Illinois can get worn out by crooks.
Tad Devine, a Democratic consultant who served as a senior adviser to the presidential campaigns of Al Gore and John Kerry, said the trend was striking this year. “They are behaving like Republicans,” Mr. Devine said of independent voters.
No, Mr. Devine, they are behaving like Americans.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
As a teenager I was a voracious reader, which is the influence in my life I credit as second for what modicum of success I have achieved, after the incredible influence of my mother and father. Coincidentally, this article involves both. I was fifteen years old and chewing through books like the Google crawler, finished reading one and went seeking my next read. Thinking I’d try something different in selecting a book, I asked my mother and father, independently of each other, what was the best book they had ever read.
I was surprised as a young man of fifteen, that they both named the very same book: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. As a grown man of 46 I am no longer surprised they both named the same book, I’m certain it is a common answer for most who have read it. It is certainly the best and most influential book I ever read, which is the reason I now share this article.
The message is compelling and, God willing, thought provoking for those who read it. Although I was reluctant to publish an article of this length (it may be the longest blog article you’ve ever seen), the value of its content outweighs the negative of its length. This is a verbatim copy of This Is John Galt Speaking, one chapter from Atlas Shrugged. To avoid confusion, please note that it is written in character. Please enjoy. Read the rest of this entry »
NAACP Attacks Tea Party As Racists
Posted: 21 October, 2010 Filed under: Media, Politics, Race Baiting, Tea Party | Tags: naacp, obama, race baiting, race card, Tea Party 1 Comment »
Every time the liberals feel their cause is losing they resort to an old tactic that has always served them well: Race Baiting. In point of fact, the practice of race baiting, which has always proved effective, has been absolutely perfected by Barack Obama. The first post-racial president has elevated race baiting to an art form. Even Bill Clinton, famous for being supportive of minority causes for his entire career, complained during the 2008 campaign season that Obama had played the Race Card against him.
While accusing the Tea Party movement with racism is absurd, it is still something with which the Tea Party would prefer not to have to contend with; especially since it is patently false. In the past, it has dismissed the label, however, the issue surfaced again when the NAACP — which made news in July when it asked the Tea Party to repudiate racist elements within its ranks – issued a report that details associations between Tea Party organizations and hate groups in this country. Before I go any further, I believe the NAACP is long overdue for a name change. They should, hereinafter, be referred to as the NAALCP; the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People.
In a conference call with journalists, NAACP President Benjamin Jealous said that while there are policy disagreements, the civil rights group has “no problem with the Tea Party expressing their views in their great debate in our great democracy.” The majority of Tea Party members “are sincere,” and some are also in the NAACP, he said. “We do however have a problem when prominent Tea Party members” use Tea Party events to recruit people for white supremacist groups, Jealous said. The NAACP is urging leadership and members of the Tea Party movement to take additional steps to distance themselves from those Tea Party leaders “who espouse racist ideas, advocate violence, or are formally affiliated with white supremacist organizations.”
He said the expulsion of Mark Williams of Tea Party Express was a step in the right direction, but said that Williams had been making controversial statements long before he was ousted for writing a mocking letter suggesting that blacks preferred life under slavery.
Some Tea Party leaders condemned the report, accusing the NAACP of abandoning its civil rights mission and of becoming a mouthpiece of the liberal left. I, too, condemn the report, hence my suggestion that the group become the NAALCP.
In a statement before the report’s release, Jealous said, “These groups and individuals are out there, and we ignore them at our own peril. They are speaking at Tea Party events, recruiting at rallies and in some cases remain in the Tea Party leadership itself. The danger is not that the majority of Tea Party members share their views, but that left unchecked, these extremists might indirectly influence the direction of the Tea Party and therefore the direction of our country: moving it backward and not forward.”
The report, was authored by the far left activist group the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights which poses as an independent research firm, examines the Tea Party groups: Freedom Works Tea Party, 1776 Tea Party, Tea Party Nation, Tea Party Patriots, and Tea Party Express.
Zeskind, who was also on the conference call, said they began research a year ago when they noticed that the white supremacist group stormfront.org had “started a thread to move into the Tea Party.” Burghart explained the report’s methodology and data-gathering techniques, which included investigating campaign finance reports, printed and online literature, Tea Party membership, government documents and databases (including court cases) finance reports and corporate filings. They also interviewed activists.
A document, “The Tea Party: The Racism Within,” lists six “Profiles of Troubling Tea Partiers” with current or one-time ties to white nationalist organizations.
The NAALCP said the decentralized nature of the Tea Party movement makes it difficult to police disparate groups for members who cross the line, but Jealous specifically called on Dick Armey of Freedom Works and Sarah Palin, who “is out there with Tea Party Express,” to take a more aggressive stand against intolerance.
“Here we go again,” Judson Phillips, founder of Tea Party Nation, told the Kansas City Star. “This is typical of this liberal group’s smear tactics.” Phillips was an organizer of the Tea Party national conference in February.
Sal Russo, a California political consultant and chief strategist for the Tea Party Express, told the Star, “To attack a grassroots movement of this magnitude with sundry isolated incidents only goes to show the NAALCP has abandoned the cause of civil rights for the advancement of liberal Democrat politics.”
In addition to the report, the NAACP has been running Tea Party Tracker, a Web site in partnership with far left groups Think Progress, Media Matters and New Left Media set up to monitor “extremism in the Tea Party movement.” Since you can tell a great deal about people by the company they keep, having partners like these tells us an awful lot about the NAALCP. Lest we not forget the most adept race baiter in America, Barack Obama.
