Forward, Comrades! A May Day Journey Through the History of Obama's Slogan

Forward, Comrades! A May Day Journey Through the History of Obama's Slogan


There are people alive today who have seen this before. They are trying to tell us what is coming. They are the people who are truly terrified, because they have experienced both the soul-numbing repression of communism/marxism and the absolute freedoms of America. They can see the soul-numbing repression beginning again, in a nation they escaped to in order to free themselves. They think we are stupid for allowing it to happen here. They are correct.

Donor's Lists? Are We Sharing Donor Lists Now?

Because I'd sure like to see a record of every dime Dear Leader's machine raised in 2008 and a full disclosure of donors for this campaign.

I can almost garontee a list of donors to the Dhimmicrat Party would include some familiar names.

Like Hamas, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherthood, Nation of Islam, New Black Panther Party, and those guardians of free speech and tolerance, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Bill Maher and Lawrence O'Donnell.

By all means, lets all share.

Response From RPV Chairman To McAwfullest/Dear Leader Fundraiser

"It's fitting that Barack Obama would have a fundraiser with Terry McAuliffe. Terry is a self-proclaimed salesman, but it's going to take more than a great salesman to make Virginia buy another four years of Obama, or another dose of Tim Kaine. Between 8 percent national unemployment, billion-dollar tax hikes, Solyndra, and $4 gas, Virginians aren't buying what Terry, Tim, Bill, and Barack are selling.

While it hasn't been announced publicly, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tim Kaine show up tonight as well. President Obama is doing his best to get his own personal U.S. Senator elected, and Tim Kaine has made it clear he'll stand with Barack Obama, even if the President's positions are contrary to what is in Virginia's best interests.

Each of these Democrats offer the same failed vision of the future - bigger, more intrusive government, higher taxes, and and more expensive, less abundant energy. Government as the solution to all problems, while freedom is slowly but surely eroded away. Virginians deserve better - and will vote for better in November.
With Terry hosting this event tonight, it is clear he fully embraces the extreme agenda of Barack Obama and his liberal policies that are hurting Virginia. What a way for Terry to kick off his 2013 campaign than with his political soul mates - Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Tim Kaine."

May Day Mayhem on Its Way | FrontPage Magazine

May Day Mayhem on Its Way | FrontPage Magazine

The actions planned for May 1 are part of what left-wingers are calling the “99% Spring.” They are designed to disrupt the U.S. economy and ultimately to extinguish what remains of Americans’ cherished economic freedoms in the increasingly socialist Obama era. Leaders also hope to press lawmakers to promote the fraud known as “green energy” and to give those with student loan debts a massive $1 trillion bailout at the expense of taxpayers.

AUDIO: Lawsuit Filed Against Virginia's Execution Methods | Local News

What is the downside of the execution team not being certified anesthesiologists? Well, says the asshat lawyer, someone could die if they made a mistake.

Uh Huh..Someone WILL die if they DON'T make a mistake.

Damn I wish I was a judge and hearing this lawsuit. These assclown lawyers apparently are not very busy, so they have to dream up stupid crap to tie up the courts.

Any judge who entertains this suit for more than 30 seconds should be impeached. The lawyers who are handling this need to be reprimanded severely for wasting the court's time and the EPA should arrest them for wanton destruction of forestry products and depraved indifference to trees.

Free Speech? Not So Fast

Did Eric Cantor vote aye or nay on the legislation to prohibit free speech and assembly? Anyone know? He should tell us ASAP, like today.

Prohibiting the free expression of ideas or opinions is an archaic communist tactic. It belongs on the ash heap of history; but it would appear, according to FoxNews, that Dear Leader is afraid he may see something that offends him. You have a ton of rights in this country. The right to not be offended or hear different ideas is not among them, and you cannot restrict the practise through legislation passed in the dark of night and signed in secret.

Expect more of the same the longer you allow the current occupier of the White House to stay in power.

USAID training foreign workers for English-speaking jobs

USAID training foreign workers for English-speaking jobs

and this is a good idea because.......???
American unemployment is at record levels and these assclowns are training foreigners to work? Really????

Who loves ya Baby? Not Obama.
“Using Americans’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars to fund the training of foreign nationals to take our jobs is absolutely crazy and totally unacceptable,” Jones said in a statement. “Uncle Sam is over $15 trillion in debt and unemployment is still elevated because of policies like this, and it’s got to stop.”

The pair pledged in their letter to “use every legislative option available to permanently prohibit USAID from engaging in such practices in the future.”

“I support the international development mission of USAID but my top priority is protecting American jobs and American taxpayers,” Bishop concluded. “I anticipate working closely with USAID in a bipartisan manner to ensure that none of its programs overseas will hurt workers here at home.”

Pelosi and Democrats Move to Change First Amendment

The title says it all. The audacity and stupidity of these morons knows no bounds or restrictions. If I've learned anything watching politics for the last 20 or so years, it is this: beware of any legislation which has "People" or "rights" in the title, because it usually will be the exact opposite of what you would expect is in it, especially if it originates from a democrat or liberal.

The Founding Fathers wanted profits, not income, subject to taxation. You want to restore the Founder's Vision, repeal the 16th Amendment and stop taxing income. Income is not profit.

Pelosi and Democrats Move to Change First Amendment
Minority Leader Pelosi said that the move to amend the Constitution was part of a three-pronged strategy that includes passage of the DISCLOSE Act, which would further regulate disclosure requirements for organizations that run political ads, and promotion of taxpayer funding of political campaigns. Ms. Pelosi said, “Our Founders had an idea. It was called democracy. It said elections are determined by the people, the voice and the vote of the people, not by the bankrolls of the privileged few. This Supreme Court decision flies in the face of our Founders’ vision and we want to reverse it.”

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Massachusetts), who is also sponsoring the amendment, said, “I've introduced a People's Rights Amendment, which is very simple and straightforward. It would make clear that all corporate entities, for-profit and non-profit alike, are not people with constitutional rights. It treats all corporations, including incorporated unions and nonprofits, in the same way, as artificial creatures of the state that we, the people, govern, not the other way around.”

Union: Right-to-Work Law Like Slavery

Intimidation through civil litgation. If they lose at the ballot box, they cry foul and take you to court. What they're bitchin' about is the fact that non-union workers with the same trade-skills must be paid the same hourly rate as union workers, but the non-union workers get to keep every dime they earn, except for payroll taxes of course. Hitting the unions in the bank account is a sure way to piss them off. The union is really stretching credibility on this slavery thing though. No one is requiring them to do anything. They have the same freedom of choice non-union workers have. Or do they?

Union: Right-to-Work Law Like Slavery
Seriously.

The union, The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150, claims in the lawsuit filed on Wednesday that “compulsory service is the equivalent of involuntary servitude under the Thirteenth Amendment.” 
The lawsuit argues that the “defendants have exacted compulsory service and/ or involuntary servitude from the Union through the combination of the passage of the Right to Work law and the existing federal requirement of the duty of fair representation” and that the union is “compelled to furnish services to all persons in bargaining units that it represents but it may not require payments for those services because of the Right to Work law.” 
The union also claims the right-to-work law “requires dues-paying members to work alongside non-union personnel, and that is compulsory service within the meaning of the thirteenth amendment.”

The Thirteenth Amendment, passed after the Civil War to emancipate blacks, reads, “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

Needless to say, the original intent of the Thirteenth Amendment was not to help union workers prevent non-union members from being able to work.

L.A. Times and the War on Terror: A History of Journalism Malpractice

L.A. Times and the War on Terror: A History of Journalism Malpractice
....if it’s objective truth we’re expected to be concerned with, rather than taking sides, how well does the LA Times come up to scratch in other areas? Say, with regard to releasing material which could be damaging to a sitting President? The newspaper has videotape of a 2003 dinner in Chicago honoring Rashid Khalidi, at which then-state senator Barack Obama spoke glowingly about his friendship with the Palestinian-American academic and activist. It has been suggested that the tape could offer some revealing insights into President Obama’s real thinking on Middle East issues. However, the Times refuses to release the tape, citing loyalty to ‘confidential’ sources. 
When it comes to speaking truth to power, Presidents are the ultimate target. From Watergate to Monica Lewinsky to President Bush’s DUI conviction, the media has not been shy about holding a serving chief executive’s feet to the fire. To what extent these various endeavors have been motivated by a yearning for truth, a quest for Pulitzers, or the pursuit of ideological agendas is open to debate. (While the media at the time of Watergate harbored a pathological loathing of President Nixon, the Bush DUI story was broken by a Fox News affiliate rather than the liberal media elites who were so relentless in their attacks on his presidency.) But today the LA Times, along with most of the mainstream media, is unabashedly in the tank for Obama’s re-election and will not let the question of whether it might be in the public interest to release the Khalidi video in an attempt to get at the truth of the matter stand in the way of achieving their objective.

Investigate IRS Harassment of Tea Party Groups

Investigate IRS Harassment of Tea Party Groups
For more than a century, our tax laws have recognized that such voluntary associations – non-profits, we call them today – should not be taxed, because their proceeds are devoted entirely to improve our communities through education, advocacy, and civic action. Section 501 of the Internal Revenue code recognizes them today, and civic groups like Move.org, the League of Conservation Voters, the ACLU, the National Rifle Association and various taxpayer groups have always been included in this definition. 
We don’t apply a political test to these civic groups – we recognize the fundamental right of Americans to organize and to pool their resources to promote whatever causes they believe in – left or right. Indeed, whatever their political persuasion, these civic groups perform an absolutely indispensible role in our democracy by raising public awareness, defining issues, educating voters, promoting reforms, holding officials accountable and petitioning their government to redress grievances. Abolition, Women’s Suffrage, the Civil Rights movement – all would have been impossible without them.

Media Matters Adopted Nazi Propaganda Tactics to Attack Conservatives, the Wealthy, and Christian Ideology - Godfather Politics

Media Matters Adopted Nazi Propaganda Tactics to Attack Conservatives, the Wealthy, and Christian Ideology - Godfather Politics
“Media Matters for America (MMA) believes that news reporting and analysis by the American media, with its eye on profit margin and preservation of the status quo, has become biased,” read the group’s application, obtained by The Daily Caller, “It is common for news and commentary by the press to present viewpoints that tend to overly promote corporate interests, the rights of the wealthy, and a conservative, Christian-influenced ideology.”
I have no idea who Brock was referring to when he wrote that last part. The first part describes exactly what the VLWM has done and is doing in support of the leftist agenda of the current administration.

Could the Secret Service be in the middle of an administration run purge? Is it possible that the events in Cartegeana could be part of a  deliberate operation on the part of the Obama Administration to rid itself of individuals they consider anti agenda?

Third smoking gun in Fast and Furious?

Third smoking gun in Fast and Furious?
The Department of Justice is using the liberal “watchdog” group Media Matters for America to deflect questions about the Fast and Furious scandal, including those regarding a gun that might have been used in the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

A new book raises questions as to whether the FBI hid the existence of a weapon recovered at the scene of murdered U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. Conservative commentator and author Katie Pavlich lays out evidence she says points to a FBI cover-up to protect a confidential informant in her recently released book, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-up
In response to an inquiry from the Free Beacon, a Justice Department spokeswoman said in an email that she “was told to direct your questions to the FBI, and also to provide you with a link to this story: http://mediamatters.org/research/201204190011”

Voter Fraud In 2008 Exposed

LEAKED STRATFOR EMAILS: Democrats Manipulated The 2008 Election Results
John McCain's 2008 campaign staff allegedly had evidence that Democrats stuffed ballot boxes in Pennsylvania and Ohio on election night, but McCain chose not to pursue voter fraud, according to internal Stratfor emails published by WikiLeaks.  
In an email sent on November 7, 2008, and titled " Insight - The Dems & Dirty Tricks ** Internal Use Only - Pls Do Not Forward **," Stratfor vice president of intelligence Fred Burton wrote:  
1) The black Dems were caught stuffing the ballot boxes in Philly and Ohio as reported the night of the election and Sen. McCain chose not to fight. The matter is not dead inside the party. It now becomes a matter of sequence now as to how and when to "out".  
In an email sent two days earlier and titled "Insight - McCain #5 ** internal use only - Pls do not forward **," Burton wrote: After discussions with his inner circle, which explains the delay in his speech, McCain decided not to pursue the voter fraud in PA and Ohio, despite his staff's desire to make it an issue. He said no.  
Staff felt they could get a federal injunction to stop the process. McCain felt the crowds assembled in support of Obama and such would be detrimental to our country and it would do our nation no good for this to drag out like last go around, coupled with the possibility of domestic violence. The Nov. 7 email also contains allegations that Democrats made a "six-figure donation" to Rev. Jesse Jackson to silence him on the topic of Israel after an October 2008 interview in which he said Obama’s presidency would remove the clout of “Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades.”

Not only did Bain Capital save America, but no matter what turn Mitt Romney's political career takes, Bain Capital may stand as the best of Mr. Romney's lifetime contributions to the nation's economic well-being. If only he'd tell the story.

We are of course putting forth "Bain Capital" as not merely the Romney private-equity house but as the stand-in for the period of American economic history that ran from 1980 to 1989. Back then it was called the Greed Decade, with asset-stripping barbarians at the gate. 
Virtually everything about this popular stereotype is wrong. Properly understood, the 1980s, including Bain, were the remarkable years when an ever-resilient America found a way to save itself from becoming what Europe is now—a global has-been…..

Pelosi: Amend the First Amendment | Vision to America

The Princess of Pineapples is unhappy that people are saying bad things about her. If the liberals don't like what you're saying, they try to shut you up instead of debating the facts or offering an opposing viewpoint.. Hasn't this been done before somewhere else? What was the name of that country? You ess ess are or something like that.

If they're not trying to repeal one of the 10 Amendments in the Bill of Rights, they're trying to alter them to suit their agenda and shut down political speech. I swear I know this was done somewhere else, the name is right on the tip of my tongue...ahhh, it'll come to me.

The Bill of Rights is the basis for all of our freedoms. They are sacrosanct and unalterable. Rewritng or altering any part would be tantamount to relinquishing what it is to be American. Apparently, liberals don;t view "being American" as something to protect or treasure. Too bad. That makes them un-American and not fit to hold public office or enjoy the blesings of liberty. If you want a country that controls free speech, move to one that already does that. There are plenty, with multiple cultures and religions, to choose from. I would suggest Cuba, as the climate is suitable for pineapples. Just be sure to give El Jefe' his cut. Although, the Princess would look really good in a full length burkha. Make sure you cover those botox eyes. Wouldn't want ot turn anyone to stone, now, would we?

NEVER AGAIN - Holocaust Remembrance Day

The Nazis, the National SOCIALISTS, killed, among other millions, SIX MILLION Jews.
They specifically targeted and persecuted and killed Jews, out of all others.

They had help.

Lithuania began persecution of the Jews in their country BEFORE the Nazis invaded, eventually killing over 95% of their Jewish population.
The French helped deport theirs. "They're only Jews." Let the Germans handle them.
Other European countries assisted with the murder.



But the Nazis began it. And spread it. And industrialized it.

Only Denmark had the courage to deny the Nazis their prey.

And now Jews are under attack across the globe again. Anti-Semitic attacks are increasing across Europe. The "Nazis" of the 21st century want to wipe Israel off the map. HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, Fatah, and Iran seek to kill every Jew in Israel and beyond. NEVER AGAIN.

In Richmond, Virginia, one man's inspiration brought to life, tries to change people through education. The Virginia Holocaust Museum brings the Holocaust into stark focus.
Their motto: TOLERANCE THROUGH EDUCATION

Mr. Jay Ipson tells the story of his childhood in the Kovno Ghetto and his family's escape from the massacre. The museum shows horror of the camps and the ghettos. And the museum shows the bravery and the perseverance of the human spirit of the persecuted.

Obama's EPA Stonewalls on Keystone

Obama's EPA Stonewalls on Keystone

"I'M shocked, SHOCKED I twll you!!!!" Its beyond time to dismantle this regulatory behemoth and trust the local DEQ's and water control boards to do the job they already do.
....the EPA’s war on the free market and economic prosperity continues. Even though Congress did not pass legislation to limit carbon emissions or create a “cap and trade” scheme, the EPA has developed burdensome and often contradictory regulations specially designed to harm the same petroleum refining industry America must depend on for any semblance of energy independence. 
EPA’s politically motivated regulations aimed at the oil industry also hurt consumers. Just this week, the National Automobile Dealers Association released a study showing that EPA’s new fuel economy standards will make cars so much more expensive that some 7 million working families and college students will not be able to afford them. 
But perhaps most egregiously, EPA overreach was a major factor in why no decision on the Keystone XL pipeline will be made until after the 2012 elections. If approved, the Pipeline would create tens of thousands of jobs while providing Americans access to as much of 800,000 barrels of Canadian oil for U.S. markets. 
To find out what was going on behind the scenes in the Keystone XL decision, the Institute for Energy Research (IER) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Obama’s State Department and EPA. The goal was to understand if politics and special interest group pressure entered into the decision to delay the pipeline. 
But while extreme environmental groups like Friends of the Earth, which opposes the pipeline, had no problem receiving similar information after its FOIA request, IER’s request has been delayed. After four months and multiple submissions, the Obama administration has refused to comply, violating FOIA standards. The decision to delay the Keystone Pipeline was clearly so politicized that the agencies involved are willing to break the law to cover their tracks. This can hardly be the transparent government that the President promised us when he ran for president in 2008. 
EPA overreach, including that on the Keystone Pipeline, destroys the jobs that workers need to pay for the higher gas prices for which EPA is largely responsible. Everyone is in favor of cleaner air and a better environment, but EPA makes no attempt to strike a balance between economic opportunity and environmental gains. 
Through greenhouse gas rules, unrealistic fuel economy standards, and now its opposition to Keystone, EPA seems hellbent on making oil – the energy that powers our economy – a fuel of the past. Right now, that philosophy is hitting Americans right in the wallet.
It is time to limit the tyrannical, unelected, and hyper-political bureaucracy. That starts with exposing the politics behind the EPA’s Keystone XL position.

When I Get Offa This Mountain You Know Where I'm Gonna Go

The music world is a little poorer and a little sadder, but Heaven is rocking. Levon Helm, drummer and vocalist for The Band, left this world for the last part of his journey. He leaves behind a legacy of music that touched more people than even he could have believed.

Levon believed in and practiced the spirit of the American farmer. The first Farm Aid concert was partly his idea in cooperation with John Mellencamp, another farm boy. They put the plight of the American family farm front and center in the mid-80's.

Thank you, Levon, for the music and memories you left us.
See you when I get there.

Negroes with guns - HUMAN EVENTS

Remember it was Bull Connor, a Democrat, who turned the dogs and hoses on the Freedom Riders.

Negroes with guns - HUMAN EVENTS

We don't know the facts yet, but let's assume the conclusion MSNBC is leaping to is accurate: George Zimmerman stalked a small black child and murdered him in cold blood, just because he was black.

If that were true, every black person in America should get a gun and join the National Rifle Association, America's oldest and most august civil rights organization.

Apparently this has occurred to no one because our excellent public education system ensures that no American under the age of 60 has the slightest notion of this country's history.

Gun control laws were originally promulgated by Democrats to keep guns out of the hands of blacks. This allowed the Democratic policy of slavery to proceed with fewer bumps and, after the Civil War, allowed the Democratic Ku Klux Klan to menace and murder black Americans with little resistance.

/snip

In the preface to "Negroes With Guns," ...the great civil rights hero Robert F. Williams [A] World War II Marine veteran, writes: "I have asserted the right of Negroes to meet the violence of the Ku Klux Klan by armed self-defense -- and have acted on it. It has always been an accepted right of Americans, as the history of our Western states proves, that where the law is unable, or unwilling, to enforce order, the citizens can, and must act in self-defense against lawless violence."

Contrary to MSNBC hosts, I do not believe the shooting in Florida is evidence of a resurgent KKK. But wherever the truth lies in that case, gun control is always a scheme of the powerful to deprive the powerless of the right to self-defense.
