Venezuelans To Choose Chavez’s Next Target

The hemisphere’s idiot, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, will learn who will run against him for president of the socialist and terrorist-supporting regime. Chavez, the West’s most dangerous dictator and friend of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Venezuelans voted in their first-ever presidential primary on Sunday, choosing a single challenger to finally end the dictator’s 13 years in office. The current front-runner is Henrique Capriles among five other contenders.

The state-run media is ignoring the primary except to demean the opposition party. Where have we seen that before? Having ‘no ink’ in the state-controlled media, the opposition is almost totally grass roots.

General-in-Cheif Henry Rangel Silva. Chavez's enforcer.

 

He already has his military (Henry Rangel Silva) in place to make sure he does not lose. Even if he loses. Whoever Venezuelans choose, he or she will be ripe for an ‘accident’ of some sort.

25 Billion Dollar Shakedown Of The Banks

Today’s news is saturated with the Obama administration’s $25 billion shakedown of the mortgage banking industry. Only the media doesn’t characterize it that way. It’s a head-fake. It’s another excuse for a huge slush fund and street money, same as what TARP and the $785 billion ‘stimulus’  package were. Can’t have too much money for a re-election campaign you know.

The banks were participants for sure. But, not necessarily willing participants.

Learn what caused the mortgage crises. This video shows who it was that was sounding the alarms and trying to prevent what happened from happening. Enjoy. This video was removed from YouTube a couple of times since its first release so capture it if you can. It lays to rest who is responsible, exposing the lies you are being told today.

Abortion, Birth Control, Democrats’ Holy Sacrament

The clash of religions has finally come to the forefront. Those Americans who believe that the Constitution and Bill of Rights, personal freedom, personal responsibility and liberty mean something are rising up against the provision in Obamacare that mandates that religious organizations provide contraception and abortion access even though it is against their faith or be fined (any amount) are finally seeing what motivates and animates the Liberal/Progressive wing of the Democratics {sic} Party.

It’s all about power. The power of the government to not just govern, but to control as many aspects of our lives as possible. Like any good Marxist regime would do.

It’s not like these kind of services are not already available in any county or state health department, Planned Parenthood, or any other abortion club. But that’s not enough for these Marxists. They want to force private and religious institutions to do it too, or be fined hundreds of millions of dollars.

Hearken back when the Obama administration was trying to get the un-Affordable Health Care Act passed. States had to be bribed. In order to get their last vote, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), had to be convinced that the bill would not pay for such things. And on top of that, we were not allowed to see what was in the bill before it was deemed passed. Remember Nancy Pelosi saying, we have to pass it to see what’s in it?

And where is the media on Obama’s subterfuge? Nowhere but complicit.

To get their agenda into law, Obama and his acolytes have to lie about their true intentions, knowing that the dumb masses will accept whatever they say. But hey, as long as most of the country can get on the government dole, who cares anymore?

Some democratics care, as do all of the republican candidates for president. That’s who.

8.3 Percent, The Fraud Continues

I suppose we should be mourning the sudden death of 1.2 million Americans. Because last week, the Obama administration’s Bureau of Labor Statistics refused to count them as still unemployed. Which they are, still unemployed. From Obama’s perspective, they may as well be dead.

No doubt, the unemployment percent that the administration puts out leading up to the 2012 election will continue to decrease even though there is no real increase in employment. They will continue to use this shrinking workforce math to make the unemployment percentage go down.

You won’t find the truth in your local newspaper. They have way too much invested in The One now to tell you what the administration is doing with the numbers.

In a December post, when the unemployment rate went from 9 to 8.6, the analysis then is identical to January’s.

From CNBC:

When the unemployment rate declines, we want to see both employment and participation increase as discouraged workers return to the labor force. Today, we got the former, but not the latter, making the 0.4 percent drop look a bit suspect,” Neil Dutta, US economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, told clients. “We would not be surprised to see the unemployment rate give back some of its decline in the coming month(s).”

Well I’m surprised! NOT! As it turned out, there was no give back. They did not factor in the Christmas season layoffs in their report. That might come on Friday when they normally make ‘adjustments’ and most likely won’t get any attention in the media. Let’s wait and see.

This fraud perpetrated by the administration was detailed HERE a couple of months ago.

Finland Elects First Conservative President In Five Decades

President elect Sauli Niinisto will be the first president from the conservative National Coalition Party since 1956, and the first in 30 years from a party other than the center-left Social Democrats.

The 63-year-old took 63 percent of the votes, compared to 37 percent for his rival, Greens candidate Pekka Haavisto, official results showed with 100 percent of ballots counted.

Jim Moran, Race Baiter And Bigot

Virginia Congressman Jim Moran (D-VA) dismissed Congressman Allen West’s (R-FL) criticism of the President. He said Allen West, a black man, was “not representative of the African-American community.” To Moran, West is a runaway from the Democrat plantation.

Here’s what West said . . .

Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneur will and spirit of the American people, somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America. {emphasis added}

It isn’t hard for Conservatives, or even Republicans, to understand that it was the message, not the messenger (Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Wasserman-Shultz), that West was talking about. But it was enough for Moran to play the race card to shoot the messenger, West, with his bigoted comment.

Apparently, Moran must believe that blacks are supposed to like Obama’s near double-digit unemployment (13.6% for blacks, over 50% for young blacks in Washington, D.C.),  record food stamp enrollment, re-inflation of the housing and higher-education bubbles, and massive redistribution of wealth from the working class to the Wall Street bundler class.

Michelle Malkin summed it up nicely. . . .

Congressman Jim Moran is an old white Democrat from Virginia who thinks he can judge whether we minority conservatives are acting sufficiently non-white enough. Moran’s an inveterate bully, a brawler, a crook and a bigot. And not one of his civility-preaching liberal colleagues has the courage to call him out.

Federal Budget For Dummies

Does the size of the numbers of our budget deficit and national debt make your head spin? You’re not alone.

To understand why Standard and Poor’s downgraded the United States’ credit rating, all you need to do is look at this analysis done by The Gainesville Tea Party.

Even liberals should be able to figure this one out. Especially the last line that shows how serious Washington is about restoring fiscal sanity and our economic health.

Keep in mind also that this analysis does not include the, absent any reforms, forty-three trillion dollars in unfunded and mandated obligations of Medicare and Social Security.

Why S&P Downgraded the US:

U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000

Federal budget: $3,820,000,000,000

New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000

National debt: $14,271,000,000,000

Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000

Let’s remove 8 zeros and pretend it’s a household budget:

Annual family income: $21,700

Money the family spent: $38,200

New debt on the credit card: $16,500

Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710

Total budget cuts: $385

$385  of a cut is not serious. It’s laughable. Because this administration does not ever intend to reach a balanced budget.

Add to this example the annual deficits of the Obama Administration, $5 trillion. Add to that the $43 trillion in the unfunded obligations of Medicare and Social Security and the reality of all the debt we are facing as a country looks like this.

Outstanding balance on the credit card: $190,710

Total budget cuts: $385

Another Diplomatic Disaster For The Unites States

Leave the upcoming military confrontation with Iran aside for a moment. And put Russia and China on the back burner as countries hostile to humanity for condoning Syria’s murdering of their own citizens. Which at the same time highlights the uselessness of the United Nations and its Security Council.

Set that aside for now so you can concentrate on how Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Egypt is sending 19 American NGO (non governmental organization) workers to trial for ‘crimes’ like promoting democracy and human rights and for receiving funds to support them and their mission.

The Muslim Brotherhood used the NGO’s to help overthrow former President Hosni Mubarak. The ‘democracy’ that got rid of Mubarak is no longer needed. Now, they are holding 43 of them prisoner and moving to the oppressive Sharia law.

One of the Americans held captive is Sam LaHood, the son of Secretary of  Transportation Ray LaHood. Sam LaHood is the head of the Egypt office of the Washington-based International Republican Institute.

I don’t attribute any of that as, like Joe Biden had warned, that President Obama will be tested on the international stage. This is a result of a combination of his inexperience, naivety, and his pre-occupation with transforming the United States into some form of government-controlled society where the federal government makes all decisions for you.

Three years ago, then Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) said . . .

Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.

And they have not stopped.

Makes one wonder if Biden made that statement because he knew what would follow when the top of the ticket is clueless on any subject besides ‘social justice.’

Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On November 2, 1983, Republican President Ronald Reagan signed the bill in the White House Rose Garden making the Birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. a national holiday. The bill first came up for a vote in 1979, but the Democrat-controlled US House of Representatives refused to pass the legislation. The first national celebration of the holiday in honor of Dr. King took place on January 20, 1986 and is celebrated on the 3rd Monday in January. In his remarks on signing the bill Reagan said: “Dr. King had awakened something strong and true, a sense that true justice must be colorblind, and that among white and black Americans, as he put it, ‘Their destiny is tied up with our destiny, and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom; we cannot walk alone.'”

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission with the mission of overseeing the observance of the MLK holiday was created in the bill signed by Reagan.

In May 1989, Coretta Scott King was made a member of the commission for life by Republican President George H. W. Bush.

Democrats today are trying to usurp Dr. King’s legacy, when it was the Democrats who Dr. King was fighting. See the below article for details.

Democrats Smeared Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the 1960’s

By Frances Rice

Character assassination. That’s the tactic used by Democrats in the 1960’s to discredit Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Republican who was fighting the Democrats and trying to stop them from denying civil rights to blacks.

The relentless disparagement of Dr. King by Democrats led to his being physically assaulted and ultimately to his tragic death. In March of 1968, while referring to Dr. King’s leaving Memphis, Tennessee after riots broke out where a teenager was killed, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, called Dr. King a “trouble-maker” who starts trouble, but runs like a coward after trouble is ignited. A few weeks later, Dr. King returned to Memphis and was assassinated on April 4, 1968.

Prior to his death, Democrats bombed Dr. King’s home several times. The scurrilous efforts by the Democrats to harm Dr. King included spreading rumors that he was a Communist and accusing him of being a womanizer and a plagiarist.

An egregious act against Dr. King occurred on October 10, 1963. With the approval of Democrat President John F. Kennedy, Democrat Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy – President Kennedy’s brother – authorized the wiretapping of Dr. King’s telephone by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Wiretaps were placed by the FBI on the telephones in Dr. King’s home and office. The FBI also bugged Dr. King’s hotel rooms when he traveled around the country.

The trigger for this unsavory wiretapping was apparently Dr. Kings’ criticism of the Kennedy Administration, according to the author David Garrow in his book, “Bearing the Cross”. The justification given by the Kennedy Administration publicly was that two of Dr. King’s associates, including David Levinson, had ended their association with the Communist Party in order to work undercover and influence Dr. King. However, after years of continuous and extensive wiretapping, the FBI found no direct links of Dr. King to the Communist Party.

The unrelenting efforts by Democrats to tarnish Dr. King’s reputation continued for years after his death. To his credit, Republican President Ronald Reagan ignored the Democrats’ smear campaign and made Dr. King’s Birthday a holiday.

Today, while professing to revere Dr. King, Democrats are still trying to tarnish his image by making remarks that diminish his civil rights achievements and continuing to claim that Dr. King embraced Communism – a system that is secularist and socialist.

In reality, Dr. King was a Christian who held deeply religious beliefs and was guided by his faith and his Republican Party principles in his struggle to gain equality for blacks. He did not embrace the type of socialist, secularist agenda that is promoted by the Democrat Party today, which includes fostering dependency on welfare that breaks up families, supporting same-sex marriage and banning God from the public square.

An understanding of who the real Dr. King was can be gained from a glimpse of Dr. King as a young man who participated in an oratorical contest when he was 14 years old. The title of his speech was “The Negro and the Constitution” which had the following sentences: “We cannot have an enlightened democracy with one great group living in ignorance…We cannot be truly Christian people so long as we flout the central teachings of Jesus: brotherly love and the Golden Rule….”

If Dr. King were still alive, he would be slandered by Democrats in the same way that they smeared him in the 1960’s and demean all black Republicans today.
