 The Health Care law - Please read - you will be shocked!

We have finally arrived at the point where Germany was in 1930. For general enlightenment; remember, this was signed into law last year!

Take the time to read this break down of Health Care Plan owned and operated by just a few, who are exempt. It is so very important that this gets repealed.

 

 

Since government health care will be MANDATORY - watching this should be, too. Please watch the entire video.... This is a MUST! Then send it to everyone you know - ASAP!

I urge you to stand with me and co-sponsor my new legislation, "American and Pennsylvania Laws for Pennsylvania Courts." This legislation protects the individual constitutional rights of the people of Pennsylvania from the incursion of foreign laws, in cases in which the application of a foreign law or foreign legal doctrine would violate someone's constitutional rights.

WE HAVE A REPUBLICAN SENATE, A REPUBLICAN HOUSE, AND A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR BUT NOTHING MUCH IS GETTING DONE. WHY??

VOTER ID WILL ASSURE THAT YOUR VOTE WILL COUNT AND HELP ELIMINATE  MULTIPLE VOTES, DEAD PEOPLE VOTING,  AND OTHER ILLEGAL VOTING. 14 OTHER STATES HAVE PHOTO VOTER ID AND 14 STATES HAVE VOTER ID (NO PHOTO).  WE KNOW THAT IN BOTH GEORGIA AND ALABAMA VOTER PARTICIPATION INCREASED SINCE PHOTO VOTER ID PASSED. WE ARE ONE OF THE ONLY DEMOCRACIES IN THE WORLD WITH NO UNIFORMLY REQUIRED VOTER ID. THE UNIONS DO NOT WANT IT AND THE ACLU DOES NOT WANT IT.  YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF WHY WOULD ANYONE NOT WANT VOTER ID?

NEWS RELEASE 

The Greatest Scam in American History?

Public Invited to Learn About the Financial Crash and Whodunit on November 1st

 King of Prussia, PA (October 25, 2011): It was caused by corrupt legislators that our fellow citizens put in office. It was caused by their partners, the large, immoral financial institutions who were given an open door to wealth. It was caused by regulators who were prevented from regulating.

Tens of millions were made by those in charge; tens of thousands donated to complicit politicians, Hundreds of billions were lost by ordinary Americans. Members of both political parties were involved. All have escaped any consequences.

The November 1^st meeting of The General Wayne Tea Party begins to get to the bottom of the crash. Phil Duffy has performed an exhaustive review based on recently published sources, and will present his findings. He names names, explains who did what, and when. The scope of the corruption is almost overpowering, and Phil lays it all out in gory detail. And he'll provide a handout, a single page listing the shameful dealing and double dealing that has nearly brought our country to its knees.

Phil Duffy is a graduate of Rutgers University and majored in International Business and Economics at NYU's Graduate School of Business. After service in the U.S. Army, Duffy spent much of his career in marketing, information systems and management consulting, with such firms as GE, McDonnell-Douglas and Coopers & Lyabrand. While with GE, he analyzed health care legislation, regulation and systems, including the UK's National Health Service.

A resident of West Chester, he currently teaches The Constitution and Bill of Rights for Widener University's lifelong Learning Institute and will teach a course on economics (Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?) for this program in the spring of 2012.

This meeting will be held on November 1^st at the Bear Rock Café, 192 W. DeKalb Pike (Route 202), King of Prussia, PA. Meeting begins promptly at 6:00 P.M. and concludes at 8:15 P.M.

The meeting is free, is open to the public, and the press is invited

I am reaching out to you in hopes of gaining your support.  I have taken the liberty of attaching a PDF recounting a compelling story which I contributed to with the team at the Chester County Hero Fund (501c3).

For the last year, I have been training for the Marine Corps Marathon, which I will run on October the 30th (just shy of my 68th--birthday) in D.C.

I'm running to raise money to build an accessible home for Jay Raffetto a wounded Marine.  Jay graduated from Conestoga H.S. with my daughter Jennifer in 2000.  I always gave him positive encouragement through his parents about the virtues of military service.  Jay became a medic with special operations (Force Recon, USMC) and unfortunately, last August he became a triple amputee-while on patrol in Afghanistan.

I'm asking for a donation to support his cause and I'm asking consideration for a Corporate Sponsorship as well---if possible.  I think this is a compelling cause.

Please see attached PDF with instructions on the bottom of the sheet.  

100% of your donation will go Jay and his wife Emily, Thanks in advance for your support of Jay, his family and our men and women in the Military.

Also please feel free to use this email and PDF to send to others you Feel might want to support this effort.

P.S. I know I can count on your help!

Welcome to Washington's Headquarters at the Moland House

1641 Old York Road, Hartsville, PA  18974

In the early evening of 10 August 1777, eleven thousand Continental and militia soldiers are marching up York Road towards the Cross Roads with Bristol Road [Hartsville, PA] on their way to Coryell's Ferry [New Hope, PA] to camp four miles across the Delaware River.  General George Washington receives a dispatch from John Hancock, President of the Second Continental Congress, placing the 260-vessel British fleet, hauling 17,000 troops under General William Howe, fifty miles south of the Delaware Capes [May & Henelopen] on 7 August. Unsure and wary of Howe's intentions, Washington immediately halts his force to encamp around the bridge over the Little Neshaminy Creek in Warwick Township, Bucks County.  Knowing the area and having ridden through only ten days earlier, he selects the substantial stone dwelling of Widow Moland as his Head Quarters on the farm north of the bridge.

Surviving an Economic or Natural Disaster Meeting - Saturday, November 12^th 6pm

Speaker:  Gordon Smith

Where:  P J Ryan's, 231 Bridge Street, Phoenixville - downstairs private dining area.
 
Natural disasters can strike at any time.  Economic downturns can wipe out your savings, your retirement and your ability to support yourself.  This session focuses on what you should do to protect your family in a financial or economic disaster.  Will you have enough food, water and medicines?  Can you survive without electricity and urban infrastructure until help arrives?  Can you support your family if your job is outsourced or eliminated? This session will help you assess the risk and offers realistic suggestions to ensure you and your family are prepared for the challenges when faced with a physical disaster or economic setback.
 
Gordon Smith retired from his international security firm last year to devote himself to the Tea Party movement.  He is dedicated to the restoration of our country and protecting our freedoms. A successful author and lecturer, he specializes in analyzing political issues, separating the truth from the chaff.  His direct approach ensures that the message is not muddled with platitudes.  Factual, straight forward, articulate and often humorous, Mr. Smith's passion for the issues, makes his presentation well worth attending.

A call to action has been issued! Will or can you attend?

Patriots Union.org and Veteran Defenders.org have issued  the call to action.

A DECLARATION TO RESTORE THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC

NATIONAL CALL FOR UNITED ACTION

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." - from the U.S. Declaration of Independence

An undisclosed number of American Veterans and former service members have come together to prepare and present this Call-to-Action on behalf of the U.S. Constitution, the Republic, the Rule of Law and equal justice for all freedom loving citizens of the United States of America. Acting together as one, via The Veteran Defenders of America, co-sponsored by civilian patriot group The Unites States Patriots Union, LLC - we issue the following CALL.

1. We CALL upon every member of federal, state and local government, legislative, judicial, law enforcement and military, who have taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitutional Republic from all enemies, foreign and domestic, to act upon those oaths for the stated purpose of restoring the Constitutional Republic.
2. We CALL upon ALL veterans and veteran organizations in America, who still believe in their oath to protect and defend, to unite with us at once - in this Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic.
3. We CALL for ALL citizens who still desire freedom and liberty, to stand with us in peaceful protest, and carry our demands to right the wrongs against our nation in the preservation of freedom, liberty, justice and the rule of law.

This is a NATIONWIDE Call-to-Action!

"We are Facing a Battle That Will Decide our Fate as a Nation!" - Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely (Ret.)

The time to unite and fight for the American way of life has arrived... We did not choose this fight, or this time. The fight has come to us in our time and we will not shrink from our responsibility to protect and defend the United States of America, our Constitutional Republic, and the American way of life. We CALL upon ALL freedom loving Americans to JOIN US in this honorable endeavor. We do so on the following basis...

Abuses and Usurpations

Barack Obama's once strong approval rating now stands at only 19%. The approval rating of congress is no better. The people have lost all faith in their government...

The demise of our Constitutional Republic has been underway for nearly a hundred years. As the people placidly accepted intolerable offenses against the republic, the states, and the Constitution for decades, the Central power in Washington D.C. grew ever more powerful, ever more abusive, and ever more disconnected from the very people it was formed to represent.

During the last three years, the current administration has committed the most egregious offenses against the people, the states and the Constitution, since the founding of our country and today, they operate as a virtual dictatorship, against the governed, beyond the scope and authority the people granted them in the Constitution and at odds with the will of the vast majority of American citizens.

The actions of the Obama Administration in total, rise to the level of treason against the United States and its people.

The Democratic Socialists of America are currently running Washington D.C. and they recently issued this statement in a Call-to-Action for their millions of members -

"We are the alternative to the tea party conservatives, the Republicans whose only program is to say no, the Democrats who have forgotten what progressive politics really are and the progressives who think that they can stand apart from the left."

This must not be permitted to stand...

Among other offenses, abuses and usurpations, is the following list of transgressions - (detailed in Appendix A) - altering our constitutional form of government and system of justice without authority...

• Violations against Article I of the U.S. Constitution - Congress
• Violations against Article II of the U.S. Constitution - The office of President
• Violations against Article III of the U.S. Constitution - Judicial Powers
• Violations against Article IV of the U.S. Constitution - The State
• Violations against Article V of the U.S. Constitution - The Amendment Process
• Violations against Article VI of the U.S. Constitution - Oath to the Constitution
• Violations against the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Violations against the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Violations against the 3rd Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Violations against the 4th Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Violations against the 5th Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Violations against the 6th Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Violations against the 7th Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Violations against the 8th Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Violations against the 9th Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Violations against the 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights
• Unlawful use of Military force, here and abroad
• Violations of International Treaties and Laws
• Numerous violations of the public trust
• Misuse of the people's resources
• The bankrupting of the nation, the states and the people
• Taxation without representation
• Confiscation and Redistribution of the people's earned assets
• Abuse of Judicial power

At this late date, the individually itemized list of abuses and usurpations would require an encyclopedia of unconstitutional offenses to the Republic and there is no evidence to suggest that there remains even one legitimate honest courtroom in the country to which all evidence could be presented.

There is no Article or Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which the current leadership in Washington D.C. has not abused and/or usurped over the last three years.

As a result, the normal courses of action for redress may not be adequate to solve the problem today, as all three branches of the federal government are currently acting as one, all of them beyond the scope and power granted them by the Constitution, against the principles of freedom, liberty and self-governance, and at odds with the vast majority of citizens.

Yet the Constitutional Representative Republic must be restored, no matter the means or the cost.

It is on this foundation that we morally and rightfully call for all good people to rise up, stand together, move to restore the Constitutional Republic, and hold those who have and would stand against the people, fully accountable.

WE THE PEOPLE

On behalf of the Veterans and former Service Members of America, who fought and died for freedom and liberty here and abroad, and all good and decent American citizens from sea to shining sea, we the people of the United States of America hereby demand the immediate restoration of our Constitutional Republic and an end to the Democratic Socialist abuses and usurpations which have become commonplace in the daily corruption of our governmental offices. As the true American people sit idle, the enemy grows in number and strength.

No longer will we sit idly by and tolerate the utter destruction of our country, at the hands of anti-American elitists in Washington D.C. who have mistaken the people's peaceful tolerance for acceptance of their ill-advised behaviors. The time for all good and decent Americans to stand together, in defense of the Constitution, the Republic, freedom and liberty, has arrived. The Rule of Constitutional Law must prevail. We call upon all who have taken an oath to protect and defend, to take appropriate measures now.

We the people hereby demand

1. The immediate and unconditional orderly resignation of Barack Hussein Obama, II
2. The immediate and unconditional orderly resignation of Joseph R. Biden

In addition to the known fact that the Obama/Biden ticket was advanced by way of fraudulent representations concerning the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama II, under Article II requirements for the office of President, the Obama/Biden has committed countless crimes against the U.S. Constitution, our Republican form of government and the American people while in control of the Executive Branch.

They are not able to do this alone, but with the help and cover of many anti-American players, who have also acted at odds with their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution, our Republic and the people of the United States. As a result, these players must be removed from office and held accountable for their actions as well.

This group includes, but is not limited to the following individuals -

1. The immediate and unconditional orderly resignation of the entire Obama Cabinet, including but not limited to;

• the White House staff and unelected Czar's
• Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
• Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner
• Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta
• Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr.
• Interior Secretary Kenneth L. Salazar
• Acting Commerce Secretary Dr. Rebecca M. Blank
• Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis
• Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
• Energy Secretary Steven Chu
• Education Secretary Arne Duncan
• Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano
• EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson
• Office of Management & Budget Director Jacob J. Lew
• UN Ambassador Susan Rice, the entire Council of Economic Advisers
• Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan
• Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor
• ·         House Speaker John Boehner
• ·         House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
• ·         Senate Leader Harry Reid
• Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell - all of whom have committed treasonous acts against the people, the states and the U.S. Constitution.

Further, to reinstate the rule of law and the Law of this Land, the U.S. Constitution and our constitutional republic -

1. In compliance with Article II - Section I of the U.S. Constitution for the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, -- the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.
2. That every verifiable member of The Communist Party USA, The Socialist Party USA and The Democratic Socialists of America be immediately publicly identified and removed from office for overtly acting against freedom, liberty and the Constitutional Republic.
3. That in the event that these individuals refuse to immediately resign in an orderly fashion designed to serve the best interests of the United States, we demand that the 66 members of the people's House who voted against the recent raising of the nation's debt ceiling, to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against every member of the Obama administration.
4. That the seven remaining members of the U.S. Supreme Court place an immediate stay on all Executive and Legislative actions taken under the term of the unconstitutional administration beginning January 20, 2009.
5. That remaining members of the House and Senate immediately act to name new majority and minority leaders of congress, and work with the U.S. Supreme Court in the assigning of new temporary Executive Branch members, acting on behalf of the people and the will of the American majority until such time that the citizens of the United States can elect their new representatives in 2012.
6. The immediate and unconditional dissolution of all special interest congressional caucuses, including but not limited to The Progressive Caucus, The Black Caucus. In addition, the immediate closure of any and all congressional committees which have been given unconstitutional powers, including the Debt Committee of twelve just formed. Individuals are elected by the people to represent ALL of the people, not special interest groups.
7. That each state government immediately act to enforce its 10^th Amendment right to protect and defend the people of their state against a tyrannical central power in Washington D.C., by recalling all State Guard troops home to protect the sovereignty and security of their respective citizens, as well as state resources and governments.
8. That each state government act immediately to cut itself off from federal funding, and take the necessary actions to balance their own state and local budgets immediately.

These are our initial demands and nothing less than complete compliance with each of these demands is acceptable to the people of the United States. These demands have been published for public support and delivered to all members of Congress.

Further, it is our position that the normal constitutional line of succession to the presidency does not apply in this circumstance, due to the widespread complicity by members of congress, regarding both the original fraud that placed this administration in power and the ongoing effort to cover up the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American citizens.

The abuse and usurpation of the U.S. Constitution will not be allowed to stand. It is on this basis that We the People make these demands, in full compliance with the law of this land, the Constitution of the United States of America.

It is our sincere desire to affect these immediate and unconditional changes to the people's government through peaceful processes, causing a minimum degree of disruption to the vital ongoing business of the people and their representative government.

The individuals named in our demand for immediate and unconditional resignations have acted directly and overtly against the people, the states and the Constitution and they must be held fully accountable for their actions.

Call for the People to ACT Now

We are openly

for the American people to draw a final line in the sand and take a moral and righteous stand for the Constitutional Republic, the rule of law and the future of freedom and liberty.

The time to be tolerant and silent has passed and the time for serious action has arrived. Only the people can restore the Constitution as the Supreme Law of this Land. We must do it peacefully if at all possible and our Founders provided all the tools necessary for peaceful corrections of a ship set off course by internal enemies.

We are calling for the following specific actions, by every active and former service member and every patriotic citizen, no matter their political stripe...

• We call upon all members of the U.S. Military, the U.S. Supreme Court, Federal, State, County, Local Law Enforcement, and all Intelligence agencies, to direct all assets of the people of the United States towards the restoration of the Constitutional Republic and stand with the American citizens in compliance with their oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution and the people of the United States.
• We call upon ALL American citizens to provide necessary pressure on all law enforcement, judicial, intelligence and military agencies, until those who have sworn to protect and defend the Constitution begin to act upon those oaths.
• The current administration has done all it can to whip racial tensions and class warfare into full-blown riots and civil war, including scheduling a "U.S. Day of Rage" for communists, labor union socialists, illegal immigrants, Muslims and blacks across the country. Their "Day of Rage" was scheduled for Constitution Day, September 17, 2011, and although it was a total flop, they will continue to rage against America. It is an open assault on free-market capitalism, waged by modern day Marxists who must be stripped of their entitlement mentality. The LEFT is also planning a "Cairo style occupation of Washington in October, on the ground on Wall Street now and headed towards Washington D.C." These events are being run by the Obama White House, via a number of left-wing front organizations.
• We The Veteran Defenders of America and The United States Patriots Union call for a "unified march" from ALL fifty (50) states to Washington D.C. on Friday November 11, 2011, Veterans Day - led by American veterans and former service members with a clear purpose - to demand the immediate restoration of the U.S. Constitution, the removal and prosecution all of the individuals named herein, by voluntary resignation or articles of impeachment, and the end to Sharia Law on American soil. The Veterans March on D.C. Day - In defense of freedom, liberty and justice.
• We call for all Americans who truly do support our troops to march on D.C. with our veterans. We call upon ALL independent truckers, independent contractors, all non-union workers, all independent business owners, agents and investors, all who support free-market capitalism and the right to work, earn and own, to march together with our veterans and former service members on November 11, 2011 - Veterans Day!
• To be prepared to act as citizens to protect and preserve the Constitutional Republic, in the event that our public servants, who have sworn an oath to the Constitutional Republic, refuse for any reason, to act upon those oaths.
• To act peacefully, but prepared for a violent reaction from our nation's enemies. To avoid if possible, the RACE WAR being incited by the Obama Administration and the Black and Progressive Caucus's.
• Locally, to confront all anti-American infringements upon our Natural Rights with boots on the ground whenever and wherever local, state or federal officials act beyond their scope of authority, or at odds with the Constitutional Rights of the people.
• To begin to openly identify and address government corruption at the local, county and state levels, too often found in both governmental and law enforcement offices, also sworn to protect and serve the people of the United States.
• To be ready and willing to end the taxation without real representation by refusing to fund the anti-American regime currently in control of Washington D.C., until such time as the taxpayers of this nation are once again properly represented.
• To make the necessary provisions to secure and protect your families and neighborhoods in the event of economic instability and social chaos, similar to events already witnessed abroad, by stocking up on cash, food and water supplies, as well as personal protection items.
• In the event that the current administration or its thug supporters attempt to use government or civilian force and violence to silence the people, as in the cases of Syria, Libya, Yemen, China's Tiananmen Square, the Bonus Army of 1932 in the United States, or the UK presently wrestling with black and Muslim violence, the people must be prepared to defend themselves against such tyrannical tactics. We cannot expect that the federal government will act in the best interest of American veterans or citizens.

This CALL FOR ACTION is being issued as a joint initiative, by the leaders and members of The Veteran Defenders of America, The United States Patriots Union. All citizens who want to see the Constitutional Republic restored immediately are encouraged to immediately join one of these unified organizations and become directly engaged in our joint missions to restore America to that shining city on a hill, and beacon of freedom and liberty around the world. We the People are the solution!

Volunteer leaders across the country must join one of these organizations to take part in leading in their local areas. All supporters who do not wish to join these organizations but who do support the initiative can keep up with information concerning the action here.

Foundation for Our United Action

Our Declaration of 1776 establishes the principles upon which The United States of America was founded. On September 17, 1787, our nation's Founders ratified The United States Constitution, forming a Constitutional Representative Republic as our system of self-governance. From that day forward, the American people are guaranteed a Constitutional Representative Republic of, by and for the people, which was to at all times, operate within the confines of the limited authority provided the government by the people and their respective states.

For decades, our federal government has been operating beyond its constitutional authority, infringing upon the Natural Rights of every American citizen and every American enterprise, until our government has indeed become destructive of the common cause of freedom and liberty.

In its usurpations of the Constitution, it has committed atrocities against the people for which it was designed to protect and serve, until the people are forced to rise up in the name of freedom and liberty, casting off the shackles of soft tyranny and it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Our United Mission

We are finished with changing America to suit every anti-American whim... This time, the change is coming to Washington D.C.

It is not our intent to separate from any foreign King, nor to abolish or alter our Constitutional Representative Republic, but rather to restore it, as the Supreme law of this land, under which both the government and the governed must live.

Our united mission is to end the march of democratic socialism, which has become the most dangerous modern threat to American peace, prosperity, freedom and liberty and reinstate the republican form of self-governance guaranteed every citizen in the U.S. Constitution.

To accomplish this objective, the people responsible for the usurpation of the Constitution must be immediately removed from office and held fully accountable for their actions, setting an example for future generations, who must also be forever vigilant in the common defense of freedom and liberty.

The long train of abuses and usurpations must be brought to a swift end and the Constitutional Republic must prevail, or the United States of America will soon cease to exist.

Our mission is just - it is moral - it is legal and constitutional and it is necessary...

This is not a call to overthrow our entire institutions of government, or subvert the Law of the Land, but rather to restore those institutions to their honorable constitutional forms. As such, and under their oaths to the Constitution and the people whom they are sworn to protect and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic, it is incumbent upon every citizen, veteran, soldier, officer and agent to use the tools of the people to protect the people and return our government to a Constitutional Republic of, by and for the people.

Let Freedom Ring! May the Creator, who endowed each of us with certain unalienable rights, among them the right to Life, Liberty and the individual Pursuit of Happiness free from government tyranny, bless this mission of, by and for the people of the United States, and may the Lord let freedom ring in America, once again.

We demand an end to government corruption, an end to despotic leadership in D.C., an end to the current assault on all decent and honest American taxpayers, businesses and honorable public servants of the people.

We demand the peaceful return of the people's government, and we will remain resolute in the defense of the Constitution and the United States of America until the people can once again, feel secure in their nation and government.

APPENDIX "A"

As a preface to APPENDIX "A", the following items only scratch the surface. The blatant abrogation of the United States Constitution, trampling the boundaries of law-based authority, deceit, bribery, aiding and abetting our sworn enemies, illegal manipulation of our election process and subverting election laws, and hundreds of other affronts and assaults to our liberties and freedoms, all fall under the category of "high crimes and misdemeanors." 

1. Obama is a National Security threat since he definitely has questionable allegiance to the United States, not to mention his refusal to complete and release full, frank and truthful answers as to who he is. Obama has demonstrated a blatant disregard for the public safety and security.

2. Obama and his handlers released an obvious forged birth certificate after release at least two fraudulent COLBs (Certifications of Live Birth).

3. Obama and his incompetent advisors have wreaked economic tyranny on the American people, all the while calling for the rest of us to endure economic sacrifice.

4. Obama has destroyed accepted administrative process by creating 32 Czars who only report to him, bypassing the Congress and Cabinet. *

5. In one year, Obama and his minions doubled our national debt, which took 200 years to accumulate.

6. Obama and his Justice Department sided with a foreign government (Mexico) when they sued the State of Arizona in order to force the continuation of illegal immigration. *

7. Obama and his henchmen proposed a 1% tax on all bank transactions (HR4646) to be implemented after the November 2012 elections.

8. Obama signed HB1388 to use $20 million in taxpayer money to immigrate Hamas refugees to USA, and other migration assistance to Palestinian refugees.

9. Obama passed "Dream Act" by Executive Order which aide's illegal aliens through

"prosecutorial discretion" all to garner votes for his election. The Heritage Foundation has provided extensive proof that illegal aliens and immigrants with green cards are committing rampant voter fraud. *

10. Obama's socialist, radical, dictatorial Moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, for thirty years a major source of energy for America, and which a Federal Court ruled was unconstitutional, continues to prevent drilling, all under the pretense to protect the environment and the fraudulent notion of global warming. He is indifferent to the loss of 10,000 jobs and 87,000 workers destroyed. Perfect excuse to push "Cap and Trade" with environmental regulations, and to push for governmental control of energy industries, i.e. General Motors, banking and healthcare.

11. Obama and his Czars want to tax church contributions and replace charities with government welfare. *

12. This administrations massive expansion of the federal government (350,000 employees) through agencies and Czars, whose goal is to "fundamentally transform America."

13. Obama's own Federal Elections Commission documented that he got at least $33.8 million from disallowed foreign contributions, including 520 contributions from interests in Iran, and $30,000 from Hamas-controlled Gaza area. *

14. Obama said, "We must reward our friends and punish our enemies." 70 individuals who raised $50,000 or more for him "have been rewarded with ambassadorships or high Ranking jobs." 

15. Obama and the cabal's National Security Strategy released in May, allows for the targeted assassination of US citizens including "homegrown terrorists" without due process. *

16. Obama dhimmitude given Ramadan and Iftar dinners in the White House, while he cancels the National Day of Prayer without one word of objection from the Congress.

17. Obama and his Muslim buddies agree and defend a 15 story mosque, bankrolled by terrorist sympathizers and anti-American Muslim groups, to be erected feet from the hallowed ground of the World Trade Center.

18. Obama and his Justice Department's refusal to support, defend and enforce US law, i.e. Defense of Marriage Act, stating it was unconstitutional, thereby circumventing established law and the rulings of the courts. *

19. Obama and his warmongers attack Libya without any authority from Congress. *

20. ObamaCare ruled unconstitutional and ordered stopped by the Federal Court...it was implemented regardless of the Federal Court. *

21. Congress said Cap and Trade was unconstitutional and refused to pass the same.  Obama ordered the EPA to enact the provisions regardless of the Congressional ruling. *

22. Obama's use of taxpayer money to pay for Democrat propaganda including $15 million for The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act road signs and $18 million for the continually misleading recovery.gov website. *

23. $770 million of taxpayer funds given to Egypt and Cyprus for the restoration of mosques through USAID. *

24. Obama has disgraced the United States by bowing to foreign potentates, while at the same time snubbed our longtime allies, Great Britain and Israel. Obama and his friends have deliberately fostered hate against the Jews and Israel by promoting a Palestinian State.

25. Obama's Department of Justice refusing to prosecute Black Panthers in Philadelphia caught on tape brandishing weapons in front of a voting site to intimidate voters. Further the stated intentions of political appointees of Obama who said they would ignore voter crimes committed by blacks, Latinos and other minorities. *

26. Obama and his Cabinet intentionally refusing to secure our nation's borders is in direct violation of Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution. This is an effort to blackmail Republican support for comprehensive immigration reform. They are in essence holding the Border States and residents as political hostages during a time when they live in fear and danger. *

27. Obama and his handlers continually ignore Congress's constitutional obligation to vet presidential appointees, as none of his 32 Czars was vetted by Congress, and his appointment of the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services was appointed during Congress recess. *

28. Department of Homeland Security now investigating to determine the political association for those making Freedom of Information Act Requests. If you are a Republican you request will be delayed and even ignored altogether.

29. Obama's Justice Department refusing to sue sanctuary cities for violating US immigration law. *

30. Obama's executive order which allows Interpol to operate in the US with no restraints, and without any oversight from Congress, courts, FBI or local law enforcement. *

31. Obama's administration and Justice Department discourage whistleblowers and prosecute them.

32. Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton's ongoing effort to create international small arms accords that will subvert the Second Amendment rights of US citizens.

33. Obama and his State Department has failed to treat as an Act of War the takeover of sovereign land  belonging to Arizona by the Mexican drug cartel.

34.  The State Department used $23 million in taxpayer money to transform Kenya into a constitutionally communist country where freedom of speech is limited and property rights are based on social justice. Don't forget the Kenyan constitution allows for Sharia Law in some regions, which means women will not have basic human rights. *

35. As part of the auto industry bailout and forced closings, shut down an unbelievable disproportionate number of dealerships in rural areas that did not vote for Obama.

36. Obama's refusal to have a press conference and answer the difficult questions as is expected by every US President. And as is usual with his total lack of respect for anyone but himself...he is always late for everything.

37. Obama and his minions have downgraded the value of human life with their opposition to his signing "Born Alive Infants Protection Act"; however they lifted the ban on overseas abortion funding using US taxpayer's money.

38. Obama's State Department foreign policy continually will do anything to insult our allies, embarrass the United States, all the while elevating and promoting third world Muslim countries. *

39. Obama and his environmentalist henchmen are prohibiting US industries from taking advantage of our own natural resources including coal, oil, uranium and timber. *

40. Despite all the political rhetoric about the historical downgrade of our nation's credit rating, the devaluation was a mere shadow of the colossal degradation Obama and his socialist cadres have inflicted on our Country since January 20, 2009. More significant than our nation's credit, our nation's credibility as a constitutional republic has suffered relentless and ruthless damage and offense. *

41. Obama deployed 1200 National Guard troops to Border States, where they will, under no circumstances, be used to stop the flow of illegal aliens and drug traffickers.

42. Despite a court's ruling and Congress's opposition, Obama's FCC continues to try to gain control over the Internet, by reclassifying internet companies as telecommunications providers, thereby making them subject to FCC regulation. *

43. A slick move no one noticed moving the Census Bureau out of the Commerce Department directly into the White House and under the control and management of Rahm Emmanuel, Chief of Staff.

44. Obama attempts to run this Country with Executive Orders.

45. Under the cover of secrecy and without any input from Congress, state or local officials and current land owners, the Department of the Interior plans to take control of millions of public and private lands in Western states by designating them national monuments.    

46. Obama through Eric Holder has handcuffed and taken over the CIA, which has been the most critical, independent information gathering resource safe-guarding our national security. Obama has revealed, ridiculed and condemned CIA interrogation methods which were previously approved by Congress and cleared through the Justice Department. He has demonstrated to our enemies (terrorists) that they need not fear us. *

47. Obama's known history is replete with symbiotic associations and participation with admitted anti-American radicals, many of which/who advocate the destruction of American imperialism and capitalism, even though violent means. Consider William Ayers, Khalid Al Mansour, Rhashid Khalidi, Jeremiah Wright, Sol Alinsky, James Cone, Mike Klonsky, as well as organizations such as the Weather Underground, STORM, Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Woods Foundation, ACORN, which have all received major tax payer funded support. Obama has never denied or even argued about his nefarious involvement with these people and organizations.

48. At the expense of the American taxpayer to the tune of  $6 Billion, Obama and his handlers have established their own Civilian Paramilitary Security Force made up with the likes of SEIU, STORM, ACORN, RUCKUS, The Apollo Project (Soros), AmeriCorps, Color of Change, Drummond Pike/Project and others who choose to remain anonymous. *

49. Loss of free speech to the tune of half a billion dollars of taxpayer money, given to Obama appointee Mark Lloyd "FCC Diversity Officer", and avowed pro-Chavez radical, ordered by Obama to rein in free speech on the airwaves by reorganizing the FCC and placing a tax equal to annual operating costs on local radio stations, which they either pay or lose their license to a new minority owner. *

50. Historic and unprecedented move by Obama's cabal to indoctrinate our children in socialist, humanist garbage, sent a video to all schools, and naturally this scheme was promoted by the NEA, with the children taking a pledge, "...to be a servant to our president and to all mankind", and then they chant over and over "together we can." He is asking our children to choose him and his agenda, over anything you might teach at home. *

51. Obama's appointment of Safe Schools Czar, Kevin Jennings, founder of Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, has determined required reading material for our schools which promotes pornography, not to mention homosexuality.

52. Obama protected union interests over those of GM and Chrysler bond holders during bankruptcy proceedings, forcing investors to accept millions in losses, funds which they were legally entitled to. *

53. In a time when Americans are asked to sacrifice, I guess this does not apply to Michelle Obama, since she has 22 personal assistants, which does not include a markup artist and hair stylist, at the cost to the American taxpayer of $6,364,000 for 4 years. These assistants' sole duties are to facilitate her social life. She must be a lot more incompetent than first thought, since as First Ladies Hillary Clinton only had 3 assistants, Jacqueline Kennedy had 1 assistant, and Laura Bush had 1 assistant.

54. On June 9, 2011, Obama signed Executive Order 13575 establishing the "White House Rural Council" which establishes unchecked federal control into rural America in education, food supply, land use, water use, recreation, property, energy, and the lives of 16% of the US population. No Congressional or local government oversight or input. *

55. Obama's handler's establishment of the "Super Committee" is the final nail in our republic's coffin, and the establishment of a Marxist dictatorship. Congress has always had committees which meet and return to the main body with ideas and suggestions, which is then amended, debated, rewritten, and finally voted on. Not this Super Committee, their determinations are presented to the Congress who are not allowed to discuss debate, modify, rewrite. The Congress is limited to a straight up or down vote.

56. Obama forced British Petroleum to set up $20 billion slush fund supposedly to compensate Gulf coast residents and businesses, and sets up an Obama appointee to administer funds with no judicial or congressional oversight. *

57. Obama's cabal canceled 77 oil field development contracts already certified as proper by the Bush administration. This deliberate affront by Obama's Interior Secretary prevents the extraction of 3 trillion gallons of oil in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and North Dakota, which is more than enough to end our dependence on foreign oil. *

58. Obama signed the Russian-American START treaty which hampers US missile defense development and makes it difficult for us to modernize our rapidly aging nuclear weapons arsenal. It represents unilateral disarmament by the US in return for nothing more than Russian good will. What a joke.

59. Perhaps one of Obama's most pathetic stunts was his chair of the UN Security Council, never done by a US sitting President. He was in the right place sitting as chair over an organization ruled by tyrants, and showing his true dual loyalties.

60. We need to look at Obama's character, or in this case, his lack thereof. Obama is a total incognito with zero accomplishments. No experience, no education, no business sense or experience (only 8% of his entire administration has ever held a real job or run a business, other than being on the government dole), no military experience, a dangerous and treacherous narcissist, arrogant, incompetent, no class, serial liar, no humility, juvenile, no dignity, no genuine empathy, his personal narcissism and arrogance veiled by his hollow spoken empathy, quite ignorant, racist, Muslim, bereft of conscience, unable to determine between his fantasy and reality, incapable of genuine caring or con

concern, artificial, blames everyone else for his failure, and most of all Obama is a puppet, owned by his handlers, who maneuvered and manufactured his pathetic life. 

61. Misuse of federal power and money in illegal international gun and drug running, the mis-distribution of taxpayer funds and manipulation of foreign governments, racketeering and smuggling, such as Project Gun Runner, resulting in the murder of U.S. agents.

A Message from Col. Harry Riley, USA, Ret.:

A day-long muster/rally at 0600 hours on 11-11-11 at the Washington Monument.

Our natons rudder is broken patriots...we're sending Libyan rebels to Germany for treatment in US Military hospitals and you wonder who pays?  Guess what....we do!.  At the same time Senator McCain is agreeing to rape military TRICARE health benefits to save funds.  Just lost 12 or 13 warriors in Afghanistan today thanks to a anti-American commander-in-chief that undermines our military at every turn. This doesn't even touch government selling guns to Mexican drug dealers; millions to failed energy company; CZARS side-stepping Congress; on and on.  What  are we doing?  Obama is the enemy and people are snoozing, wondering if he will get reelected? We must stop this traitor, betrayer of the US Constitution.  This is what 11-11-11 Declaration Rally/muster in D.C. is all about...bringing to a screaming crescendo the failures and outright criminal behavior of the Obama Administration and his supporting Congress critters.

We all need to pitch in so it won't be so hard on any of us...Obama and his cohorts are slowly, like a cancer, eating away at our strength...soon we will be weakened to point of no alternative.  Be part of the fight, help with funding and lock arms and stand shoulder to shoulder together in D.C. on 11-11-11.  Our freedom and liberty is at stake...you tell me what's more important.

Col. Harry Riley, USA, Retired

A Special Invitation
To a Two-Day Campaign Training
Presented by Pennsylvania Family PAC

Changing the Culture by Winning Campaigns

November 9-10, 2011

Harrisburg, PA

Voters today - perhaps more than at any time in recent history - are yearning for principled candidates committed to standing strong for the timeless values upon which our country was founded and standing stronger against the politics-as-usual establishment working to undermine those values.

•         Are you such a candidate - or do you know one running in your area that you'd like to help? or
•         Do you wish you had the skills to help elect a good candidate? or

• Have you thought about running for local or state elected office - or know of someone else?

The Winning Campaigns training school shows pro-life, pro-family, principled - candidates, campaign staff, and grassroots activists how to run winning campaigns without compromising their values - with a special emphasis placed on running and winning primaries (even against incumbents). 

Who should attend?
Local or state candidates, potential candidates, campaign staff, campaign volunteers, grassroots leaders, and concerned citizens - who are committed to advancing pro-life/pro-family principles. This training is perfect for anyone who wishes to learn how to run or assist the local campaigns of those running for elected office.

What's the cost?
Nothing; registration is free, but you must register in advance. 

More details on the event and an informational brochure are available by request. To get more information or to register, call Dan at 717-545-0600.

THIS IS BY INVITATION ONLY. YOU are invited (as a PA Family supporter), but if you know of someone else who could benefit from this training as a candidate or potential candidate or campaign worker, please let them know and have them contact us directly. But hurry, space is limited and reservations should be made by November 4th.
 

 2012 Presidential Candidate Selector
or Obama, His Allies & Critics Matching Quiz

Politicians have already indicated their 2012 presidential aspirations. This matching quiz includes President Obama, top members of his administration, Obama's most vocal critics (Boehner, Cantor, etc.) and likely White House prospects (Palin, Pawlenty, Jindal, etc.). You may select a position for every issue, or just select issues important to you. The political figures' positions are based upon their voting records, special interest group ratings and their statements in the public record. In cases where there is no known public record or statement, these politicos are not given a score on that issue. We add candidates, revise their views and include new issues as they become known or change. Check back often for updates.

Where are the Muslim Brotherhood and the Obama Administration Taking America?

Dr. Essam Abdallah

A liberal Egyptian intellectual blasts the Obama Administration/Muslim Brotherhood alliance.

"Abolish House and Senate salaries and all special, protected perks and privileges, and pay Senators and Congressmen on a per diem basis, for the expenses incurred in getting to Washington to represent their constituencies as briefly as possible; grant them closely audited meal allowances and board at a Super 8 Motel." 

Crosses at Catholic university violate the rights of Muslims?

 

We're filing this one under "you've got to be kidding me!"

Opposing sharia law has greater implications than opposing the specific provisions of the law. It is also opposing the supremacist ideology that undergirds sharia law.

This supremacist ideology rears its head when a law professor files a complaint against a private Catholic university claiming the crosses in the school are "a human rights violation that prevent Muslims students from praying" (see story below, highlights added).

This supremacist ideology rears its head when a college Army ROTC student demands the right to wear a hijab as part of her uniform; when Muslim parents in New Jersey demand private prayer rooms in elementary public schools for their children; when Muslim leaders demand that free speech that critiques radical Islam be criminalized; when Hertz rental car employees demand breaks for prayer without clocking out.

Do you agree that we must stop sharia law-and put up a firewall against the supremacist ideology that leads to preposterous complaints like the one below?

Then please add your name to the petition to protect your state from sharia law-and forward it to everyone you know. We now have over 26,000 signers. Our goal is 30,000 by the end of this week!

The Colonization of the West

Once upon a time when you wanted to invade another people's land, you built your longboats, got together some young males with few prospects at home and set sail for greener pastures. Today the longboats are jet planes and the invaded use them to ferry over their own invaders.

 

Colonization usually required three elements. Surplus male population, the technology to make the journey and the means to subjugate or drive off the people already living there.

Western medicine and aid have helped create and sustain a surplus population which has nowhere to go and nothing to do in its own highly stratified societies. At home they start Arab Spring like revolutions,  which is one more reason for China's One Child policy. With few economic opportunities in an oligarchy, they have to move elsewhere to get ahead.

The ability to colonize distant parts of the world usually required a certain level of sophistication. Any barbarian could walk a few miles, grip an axe and smash the heads of the equally backward people who lived there. But eventually they would either come up against a more sophisticated empire or the sea, natural barriers that they couldn't cross without advancing further up the cultural ladder.

The West however has generously exported its technology to the point that it is ubiquitously accessible and while that hasn't made the world a more civilized place, it has made travel to the West easier for the less civilized parts of the world. Pakistan no longer needs to have a functioning society or intellectual inquiry to be able to reach the United States. It just needs some used Boeings and enough education to be able to maintain and operate them without dying in the process.
 

Seeking chic street "cred" White middle class college students condemn "terrorist" customs

Oct 31, 2011 06:13 am | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

 Anyone who has spent time with 3 year olds knows "peek-a-boo- you-can't see-me" is one of their favorite games. They cover their own eyes and say, "You can't see me!" They have an excuse for believing this because they are 3 year olds. So what is the excuse for the University of Ohio's Students Teaching About Racism in Society ? Are we to be impressed with this "perfectly self-congratulatory 'four legs good two legs bad" name, because I'm not?  

 This group of tall 3 year olds (T3YOs)  thinks they can further the cause of forgetting Muslim's, not Swedes or Hindus or Eskimos are the terrorists trying to kill us and threatening  our very survival however they can.

 Posters for the slow witted

 The T3YOs have produced a series of posters showing "the unenlightened" among us how WRONG we are to approve of and remain silent about the overt bigotry in the Halloween customs THEY decide ...

Darrell Issa's Fast and Furious rebuke of Eric Holder is one for the ages

Oct 30, 2011 02:13 pm | Coach Collins

By Doug Book, staff writer

Upon being proven to have perjured himself before the House Government Affairs Committee,  Attorney General Eric Holder did what any dedicated leftist would;  he changed the subject and blamed someone else.

In a childish and petulant letter to his principle adversary,  Darrell Issa,  Holder accused the Republican congressman of cynical efforts to  "score political points"  and repeated his claim to have known nothing of Operation Fast and Furious in 2010.

But Issa would have none of the Attorney General's bogus claims or pathetic excuses.  In a masterpiece of typewritten homicide which has received far too little attention from conservative bloggers-and of course NONE from the mainstream media-Issa exposed  Holder's  criminal activities and his lies and misrepresentations concerning Department of Justice involvement in Operation Fast and Furious.

With no trace of the professional courtesy or benefit of the doubt so often accorded one longtime inhabitant of D.C. by another,  Issa pointedly accused ... Continue Reading:Darrell Issa's Fast and Furious rebuke of Eric Holder is one for the ages

Amid all the ugly "Fast and Furious" news we can't forget the death Border Agent Brian Terry

Oct 30, 2011 06:13 am | Coach Collins

By Suzanne Eovaldi, staff writer

  Was Brian Terry left to die in the desolate Peck Canyon region of Arizona because government officials decided to air lift out the injured illegal alien first on the only medi-vac helicopter available?  Hard to fathom, but apparently true according to an credible tip this website received soon after the horrific shoot out with Fast and Furious guns which the Obama Justice Department put in the hands of Mexican criminals.

     No one is telling Brian Terry's story, the alleged story of being left to die because some politically correct official decided to air lift out the illegal border jumper on the only BORSTAR helicopter available.  CiR.com received this alleged information from a tipster who said: "Bottom line: a series of bad Border Patrol/Department of Homeland Security procedures, policies, and protocol, all designed to protect Mexican criminals inside the U.S., most likely resulted in the needless death of Agent Brian Terry on the night ...

The terrible legacy of California's Propositions 10 and 13

Oct 29, 2011 02:13 pm | Coach Collins

 By Jerry Todd, staff writer

Bloomberg News' Christopher Palmeri recently wrote of the legacy of Proposition 13 still hovering over California. It has far too often been said that "As goes California, so goes the nation." 33 year old Proposition 13 has become a broad generic term for tax revolt.

Palmeri reports that at least 20 states have followed the 13 lemming. Tax reform was needed, but it has become apparent that 13 was not the right formula. However, there was far more to that 1978 election than Proposition 13 - its evil stepsister was Proposition 10 promoted by the banking industry.

I wised up to the progressive movement years ago, but only saw it as a perverse form of totalitarian politics. I've never met a tax expert who could tell me what Proposition 10 was on the 1978 California ballot. Proposition 10 was designed to repeal California's usury laws.  Events leading up to the election saw banks' ... Continue Reading:The terrible legacy of California's Propositions 10 and 13

Pressure mounts to wipe out Hamas

By Ted Belman

Dan Halutz as Chief of Staff (file)

Former IDF Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. (res.) Dan Halutz, thinks Israel should mount a crushing offensive against Gaza. He called for a "mortal blow" to be dealt to Hamas's civilian and "military" leadership.

In an interview with IDF Radio, Halutz said, "We must bring back our deterrence vis-à-vis Gaza. It has not existed for even one moment since Operation Cast Lead and to this day."

Halutz said that in the end, Israel will have to conduct an extensive operation of this kind, and there is no reason to wait. "A rocket struck an empty school on the Sabbath," he said. "Why wait until a rocket strikes a full school in the middle of the day?"

"This must be dealt with through a strong blow, beyond the expectations of the other side," he explained. "The other side creates equations based on its own preferences and we have to create different equations...

Bill Declares Israeli Sovereignty in Judea, Samaria

By Gil Ronen, INN 

Deputy Knesset Speaker MK Danny Danon (Likud) will formally propose a law Monday that would make Israel sovereign over Judea and Samaria. The proposal will be placed before the Ministerial Committee on Legislation, which will decide whether the governing coalition supports the bill.

Bills that gain the Committee's backing are usually passed into law, while those that do not usually fail to become laws.
Israel liberated the Judea and Samaria region - which has been the Jewish heartland since Biblical times - from a brief 19-year Jordanian occupation in 1967.

Since then it has formally declared sovereignty over eastern Jerusalem and the Golan Heights - also liberated in the 1967 Six Day War - but Judea and Samaria continue to be administered by military governors.

The bill would place Jewish communities under Israeli law, while leaving other areas under Palestinian Authority (PA) control.

How should the US have responded to the attacks on 9/11

By Ted Belman

When America was attacked on 9/11, it had to do something, but what? The first thing America did was to rule out Saudi Arabia who was the major supporter of al Qaeda and Wahhabism and instead went after al Qaeda and its training grounds in Afghanistan. Never mind that there are a multitude of places that they could have trained in or other terrorist groups that could be trained. The US just created another in Libya.

They also went after Saddam Hussein in Iraq who had nothing to do with 9/11 and, in the scale of things, was a minor figure. Iran which was named as part of the Axis of Evil wasn't touched.

The end result is that the monster is bigger now and the US is weaker.

There is a comprehensive treatment of this question in "Just War Theory" vs. American Self-Defense by Yaron Brook and Alex Epstein, published in 2006. It is a long but excellent article so I'll just whet your appetite.

Syria calling the shots on the missile attacks

Jihad missile offensive goes into second day. What Egyptian ceasefire?
DEBKAfile Special Report October 30, 2011, 7:23 AM

Sunday morning, Oct. 30, Jihad Islami denied knowledge of a truce Egypt called for 0600 Sunday morning. By 0700 hours it had launched eleven Grad missiles and two mortar rounds from the Gaza Strip at Ashdod, Gan Yavne, Lahavim, Ashkelo, Kiryat Malachi, Rahat and Shear Hanegev on the second day of its massive assault.

Saturday night, after more than 35 Palestinian missiles, most heavy Grads, had battered eight Israeli towns, Egyptian sources reported Israel and the Palestinian organizations of the Gaza Strip had accepted a truce starting 0600 Sunday morning. Earlier, one of those missiles hit an Ashkelon home and killed Moshe Ami, 59. Seven people were injured and dozens of people were treated for shock. The damage was substantial.

Saturday night, six more missiles hit Beersheba, Lahavim, Shear Hanegev and Ashkelon. Israeli air strikes hit six Palestinian...

AMERICANS MUST STAND AGAINST MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD  

By Dr. Laurie Roth, NewsWithViews.com

The insertion of radical Islam, largely Muslim Brotherhood is happening through out the Middle East and in parts of Africa. The latest method of intrusion and radical Islamic take over is with 'Arab Spring'. Those Islamics marching for democracy were simply used and muted by the Muslim Brotherhood's plans for total take over.

Things are going as planned and Obama and his handlers couldn't be happier. Global controls, regulations and rules combined with encroaching Fundamentalist Islam is the double barrel shot gun that threatens to take down America, Israel and the West. Right now, it is attempting to transform the Middle East into an Islamic radical, Muslim Brotherhood zone.

Obama holds Netanyahu at "gunpoint"

By Ted Belman

Before forming the present government PM Netanyahu stood for the following;

- no two state solution
- no Shalit trade as was then being negotiated
- no construction freeze and
- no presentation of an Israeli plan for its borders

Since taking office he violated all these supposed redlines. He gave a speech in which he accepted "two states for two peoples". He made the Shalit trade he previously had opposed. He imposed a 10 month freeze for nothing in return and in many ways imposed a de facto freeze.

And now, it appears he has agreed to present, "comprehensive proposals" for resolving key aspects of conflict within three months.

By agreeing to this and not rejecting the peace process, Israel is accepting negotiations which aim to bridge the gap. Netanyahu has thus crossed another redline.

Netanyahu inherited the Shalit negotiations and once complained that he was dealt a lousy hand as though he couldn't have started all over again. Similarly, he is not prepared to start all over again on peace negotiations and is prepared to play with the hand he was dealt. It too is a lousy hand.

By Netanyahu formally agreeing to present such proposals, he confirms that he is following Olmert and Barak. This is something Bibi has repeatedly said he would not do just as he has always said he is against the Shalit deal.

This goes way beyond playing rope-a-dope to buy time. This shows a seriousness about negotiations and an intention to really negotiate along the dictates of Obama and his proxy, the Quartet.

Netanyahu has to ask for more than he expects to get, yet on the other hand, if he asks for too much the Quartet will say he is not serious and penalize him/Israel for it. Not for a moment, do I believe that this was his idea or that he willingly went along.

The article Knesset visitor blasts Obama and Netanyahu advises that MK Eldad accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of buckling under intense pressure from President Barack Obama, who wants to prevent any Israeli retaliation against the Palestinian Authority in its bid to win recognition as a state from the United Nations.

He (Eldad) charged that Obama was holding Netanyahu "at gunpoint" - the gun being the U.S. threat to go back on its promise to veto the Palestinian statehood bid in the UN Security Council.

Specifically, Obama has demanded that Netanyahu and Israel's supporters in the United States pressure Congress to abort two pending resolutions to penalize the Palestinian Authority (PA) if it pursues its bid, Eldad claimed.

One would shut off U.S. aid funds to the Palestinians and a second would support Israel's right to annex the West Bank. The legal justification for such actions, cited by many Israeli officials, would be that the unilateral statehood request would be a direct violation of the 1993 Oslo Accords.

The inescapable conclusion is that Bibi felt he had no choice but to agree with the Quartet's new Plan in which they proposed that the parties meet for a month and then prepare proposals within the following three months. To my mind the Quartet would not have come out with their plan, at that time, had not Bibi agreed to it.

Freeze on Jewish Construction
A Double Standard

October 31, 2011 | Eli E. Hertz 

Arabs claim that Jewish settlements "change the status" of the Territories and represent a distortion of the Oslo Accords. The phrase applies to acts that change the political status of the disputed territory - such as outright Israeli annexation, or a Palestinian declaration of statehood. Since Jewish settlements are legal, any halt in construction should be reciprocated.

The Oslo Accords do not forbid Israeli or Arab settlement activity. Charging that further Jewish settlement activity preempts final negotiations by establishing realities, requires reciprocity.

If Jews were forcibly expelled from the West Bank in 1948 during a war of aggression aimed at them, then these Territories must be considered disputed Territories, at the least.

The Israeli-Palestinian border dispute is like every other major and minor boundary dispute around the globe. Since the West Bank was redeemed in 1967 in a war of self defense and is not "Occupied Territory" gained illegally by a bellicose power, and since this fact is recognized in the wording of UN Resolutions 242 and 338 that call for a settlement to institute "secure and recognized boundaries."

According to David Bar-Ilan, a former policy planning official, the tempo of Arab construction is "more than 10 times the number of buildings under construction [in the Territory] than those approved [by the Israeli government] for the [Jewish] settlers."

Calls for a freeze on Jewish construction in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem while Arab construction, which far exceeds Jewish development, continues unfettered - are clearly biased.

Herman Cain at Pillsbury 

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 10:36 AM PDT

(John Hinderaker)

Today's big news story is the revelation that while he was with the National Restaurant Association, Herman Cain was accused of some sort of impropriety by two women. It is impossible to know what to make of this story. Apparently no formal claims were brought, Politico's description of the events that gave rise to the complaints is too vague to evaluate, and the amounts reportedly paid to the women in connection with their departure from NRA were small enough to be consistent with just about any scenario.

Still, Politico's story makes this article in today's Minneapolis Star Tribune timely: "Herman Cain's career at Pillsbury is a tale of two turnarounds." Cain made his reputation as a businessman at Pillsbury, to the Strib was pursuing a local angle on his candidacy. The article is both flattering-it almost seems that the paper forgot that its subject is a Republican-and highly relevant to today's attack in Politico:

Business success has never guaranteed political success. But Cain demonstrated during a tour with Pillsbury Co. in the 1980s that he is a successful, charismatic leader. With flair and hard work, he turned around Pillsbury's struggling Philadelphia Burger King region and revived a near-dead Godfather's Pizza.

The gang that couldn't shoot straight 

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:20 AM PDT

(Scott Johnson)

Minnesota liberalized the law allowing citizens to arm themselves in the early days of the administration of Governor Pawlenty. The law vastly expanded the right of Minnesota citizens to acquire licenses to carry guns, a right formerly subject to the unfettered discretion of local police chiefs or sheriffs. Liberalization of the law carried out a long-standing Republican commitment and was of course the subject of daily hysteria in the local media, but so far as I am aware has had no ill effects.

The virtues of the law were on display last week. When Darren Evanovich and his sister pulled off an armed robbery outside of a grocery store in Minneapolis, they wound up pistol-whipping the middle-aged woman they robbed. As Ed Morrissey relates, the Good Samaritan chased after Evanovich, and Evanovich pulled the gun as he turned the corner. "Unfortunately for Evanovich," Ed writes, "the Good Samaritan had a carry permit and a handgun of his own - which he drew and fired after Evanovich drew first. Evanovich died almost immediately."

Evanovich's death raised the question whether the Good Samaritan would be charged with homicide. While the case was under consideration, the Minneapolis Star Tribune ran a deeply deceptive article by Matt McKinney on the good works of Darren Evanovich. The article omitted relevant facts that made out the justification for Evanovich's killing.

I have no idea. But maybe someday that question will resonate along the lines of, "Who is John Galt?" Barncat is a musician and satirist of considerable talent. We linked to his Elvis Presley parody, "The Solyndra Song," here. Now Barncat has come out with "Hope & Change," a Springsteen adaptation sung to the tune of "Glory Days." Which seems appropriate, given how far behind him President Obama's glory days are.

Here it is. Pass it on. This sort of satire is a potent weapon-"Hope & Change":

A One-woman Wrecking Crew, Revisited 

Posted: 30 Oct 2011 06:59 PM PDT

(John Hinderaker)

A long-time reader comments on one of our "picks" from last week - a Politico piece about Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin's relentless attacks on Rick Perry:

Ben Smith's Politico story about Jennifer Rubin reminded me of several Power Line posts from the last presidential cycle. Back then, a former blogger on this site, noting Rubin's attacks on three major Republican contenders, called her "a one-woman wrecking crew."

What amused me is that in the last cycle Rubin's main target was Mitt Romney - the primary, and presumably intended, beneficiary of her attacks on Perry this time around. Her other targets were Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson.

All three of these candidates were eminently attackable, and Romney remains so today. But, as the former Power Line blogger argued, some of Rubin's attacks were cheap and/or over-the-top.

Obama Wakes a Sleeping Nation?

October 24, 2011

Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America's future. He is the best thing ever.

Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.

 

That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America.

Cain In The Crossfire

The "big buzz" today in Washington is a Politico story alleging that Herman Cain sexually harassed two female employees. The allegations date back to the 1990s during his tenure as president of the National Restaurant Association and were settled out of court.

During an interview today with Fox News, Cain acknowledged that he had been falsely accused of sexual harassment, and said the allegations were proven false. Cain categorically denied that he sexually harassed anyone, calling the charges, "totally baseless and totally false." But he left open the possibility that the National Restaurant Association may have settled the cases, saying, "If the restaurant association did a settlement, I wasn't even aware of it and I hope it wasn't for much."

We have repeatedly warned you that this campaign would be among the most vicious in history, driven by the war room attack operation that the Democrat Party and its liberal allies have built in recent years and funded with donations from George Soros. That smear machine can slice and dice any conservative until even their own family members disown them!

It started with Robert Bork. It almost succeeded with Clarence Thomas. They did it to Sarah Palin, and they set their attack machine in motion when Michele Bachmann was leading the field. They've done it to Rick Perry -- publishing his college transcripts and turning an racial epithet on a rock into a major news event that lasted for days. If Perry happens to pull off one of the most surprising political comebacks in recent memory and win the GOP nomination, that story will be resurrected and used to scare black voters to the polls.

Many of you have expressed concerns, which I also share, about the debates. At times they have become so negative that many fear our candidates are actually doing Obama's work for him. I was not happy when the ludicrous story about a rock at Perry's ranch broke and Herman Cain was among the first to jump on it, suggesting that it said something about Perry's views on race. Likewise, I hope Perry and other GOP contenders will hold their fire before they start taking pleasure in these allegations about Herman Cain.

There are plenty of people in the media who want to smear anybody who threatens to disrupt Barack Obama and his plans for America. Remember Journolist? As it turns out, the "journalist" who broke the story on Herman Cain has a history of publishing hit pieces, including one headlined, "Is Rick Perry Dumb?" Maybe that is what it takes to succeed in Washington media circles, but it hardly qualifies as journalism.

My friends, I can't remind you often enough that there are powerful forces that want you to focus on anything other than what Obama is doing to America. The man in the Oval Office doesn't have a clue how the economy works. His foreign policy is giving the Islamists one victory after another. He is laying the foundation for men to "marry" men. Yet today the media are in a frenzy about unproven, decade-old allegations.

The liberal attack machine is desperate to convince you that every conservative is fatally flawed and your only option is four more years of Barack Obama. As I have said before, hope is gone. Fear and smear is all they have left. Don't fall for it.


Normal Marriage Under Assault

Yesterday the Washington Times reported that supporters of same-sex "marriage" are launching a "full-court press" to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and radically redefine marriage in America.

According to the Times, homosexual service members have joined lawsuits seeking to have DOMA declared unconstitutional. Now that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has been repealed, DOMA is the only thing standing in the way of other benefits such as housing allowances. And while this case is being taken up in the First Circuit Court of Appeals, the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote this week on legislation to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.

These lawsuits and the vote this week in the Senate Judiciary Committee are reminders that elections have consequences. Men and women of faith who believe in the sanctity of life, normal marriage and religious liberty cannot sit on the sidelines.

Barack Obama is refusing to defend the laws upholding traditional marriage. He is packing the courts with left-wing activists and has already made two Supreme Court appointments. If he gets four more years and one or two more appointments to our highest court, the battle for life and marriage may well be lost.


Occupy The Home

Polls show an overwhelming majority of Americans are pessimistic about the direction of our country.  It would be tempting to link our current malaise to the economy alone.  But it's not just families' finances that are broken.  In many cases, so are the families themselves.

Investor Peter Schiff is a rich man. He is also a very brave man. CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, Schiff dared to go down to the Occupy Wall Street protest and speak for the 1%, the entrepreneurs and business owners who create jobs and pay an extraordinary amount of America's tax bill. In his interviews with protestors, Schiff takes on "too big to fail," student loans, crony capitalism and socialism, all while trying to redirect the protestors' anger from Wall Street to Washington.

His man-on-the-street interviews are very illuminating. You can watch them here.

Opinion in Brief

Michelle's message is not an American one

"[Michelle Obama is] back on the campaign trail, and for some reason is returning to the same hardball politics. The other day, she thundered, 'Will we be a country that tells folks who've done everything right but are struggling to get by, "Tough luck, you're on your own"? Is that who we are?' Given that the federal budget has increased by $2 trillion in just a decade, entitlements are at record levels, and this administration is now running $1.5 trillion annual deficits, it is hard to imagine that any government has told anyone 'tough luck.' And it is even harder to suggest that nine months of a Republican-controlled House -- voted in as part of the largest midterm correction since 1938 -- has had much effect on the Obama employment agenda of nearly three years, the majority of which time Obama controlled both houses of Congress and borrowed nearly $5 trillion in sending unemployment over 9 percent. And when Ms. Obama charges, 'Will we be a country where opportunity is limited to just the few at the top? Who are we?' one wonders, why, then, in the past three years of hard times, did she insist on vacationing, in iconic fashion, at Vail, Martha's Vineyard, and Costa del Sol, the tony haunts of 'the few at the top'? In these rough times, surely a smaller staff, less travel, and budgetary economies would have enhanced her populist message of some at the top enjoying perks at the expense of others. In short, even if she does not revert to 2008 style and restart her lamentations about life in her country being unfair, I think it a mistake for any president to put the First Lady out, in highly partisan fashion, on the campaign trail to attack her husband's political rivals. And, I think, the public unease with it will soon prove the point." --historian Victor Davis Hanson

What do you think of Michelle's message?

Government

"Free market capitalism is unforgiving. Producers please customers, in a cost-minimizing fashion, and make a profit, or they face losses or go bankrupt. It's this market discipline that some businesses seek to avoid. That's why they descend upon Washington calling for crony capitalism -- government bailouts, subsidies and special privileges. They wish to reduce the power of consumers and stockholders, who hold little sympathy for blunders and will give them the ax on a moment's notice. Having Congress on their side means business can be less attentive to the will of consumers. Congress can keep them afloat with bailouts, as it did in the cases of General Motors and Chrysler, with the justification that such companies are 'too big to fail.' Nonsense! If General Motors and Chrysler had been allowed to go bankrupt, it wouldn't have meant that their productive assets, such as assembly lines and tools, would have gone poof and disappeared into thin air. Bankruptcy would have led to a change in ownership of those assets by someone who might have managed them better. The bailout enabled them to avoid the full consequences of their blunders. ... The Occupy Wall Street protesters are following the path predicted by the great philosopher-economist Frederic Bastiat, who said in 'The Law' that 'instead of rooting out the injustices found in society, they make these injustices general.' In other words, the protesters don't want to end crony capitalism, with its handouts and government favoritism; they want to participate in it." --economist Walter E. Williams

Insight

"This country wasn't built by men who sought handouts. In its brilliant youth, this country showed the rest of the world what greatness was possible to Man and what happiness is possible on Earth. Then it began apologizing for its greatness and began giving away its wealth, feeling guilty for having produced more than its neighbors. ... Examine your values and understand that you must choose one side or the other. Any compromise between good and evil only hurts the good and helps the evil." --novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

Culture

"The trouble with the [Occupy Wall Street] movement is that it's centered around two concepts, both of which are abject lies. First and foremost, it doesn't represent ninety-nine percent of anything, no mater how many time the protesters themselves, their enablers, or a corrupt mainstream media repeats the slogan. Second, there is nothing inherently virtuous about being poor or middle class, any more than there is anything inherently evil about being wealthy. ... And make no mistake: it is a virus that infects every ethnic group, both genders and, as you may have guessed, every income class. Until some kind of national integrity is restored, everything else comes down to dealing with the symptoms of the problem instead of the problem itself. How do you restore integrity? One self-aware person at a time coming to the realization that without it, you're nothing but the member of a mob, whether that mob resides in Zuccotti Park, a bank boardroom, or the Beltway in Washington, D.C. You want to camp out all winter and rail against the inequities of the world? Knock yourself out." --columnist Arnold Ahlert

Halloween News Alert from the Publisher: We're hearing unconfirmed reports that Obama's Occupy Zombies are now occupying pumpkins. Beware!

Essential Liberty

"Conventional wisdom is that government must run the schools. But government monopolies don't do anything well. They fail because they have no real competition. Yet competition is what gives us better phones, movies, cars -- everything that's good. ... In 1955, [economist Milton Friedman] proposed school vouchers. His plan didn't call for separating school and state -- unfortunately -- but instead sought a second-best fix: Give a voucher to the family, and let it choose which school -- government-run or private -- their child will attend. Schools would compete for that voucher money. Today, it would be worth $13,000 per child. (That's what America spends per student today.) Competition would then improve all schools. ... Vouchers aren't a perfect solution, but they are better than leaving every student a prisoner of a government monopoly." --columnist John Stossel

Re: The Left

"According to the Taranto Principle, first identified by distinguished Wall Street Journal writer James Taranto, the mainstream media concocts false truths that actually encourage liberal Democrats to extravagance; thus, Al Gore hyperventilates over Global Warming, Jean-Francois Kerry presents himself as a Vietnam War hero, and Barack Obama sits awash in red ink and promises more. Operating in accord with the principle, the liberal Democrats abandon themselves to a riot of fantasies far removed from the American consensus, and the result is catastrophe for them and much amusement for the rest of us. ... It doesn't sound like the Occupiers are making much headway with the average American. But they are making headway with liberal Democrats. White House adviser David Plouffe says, 'The protests you're seeing are the same conversations people are having in living rooms and kitchens across America. ... People are frustrated by an economy that does not reward hard work and responsibility, where Wall Street and Main Street don't seem to play by the same set of rules.' And the brightest president in American history has said, 'I think people are frustrated. And the protesters are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works.' Once again, the Taranto Principle is vindicated." --columnist R. Emmett Tyrrell

For the Record

"If I were a liberal, I would have spent the last week in shock that a Democratic audience in Flint, Mich., cheered Vice President Joe Biden's description of a policeman being killed. ... Biden's audience whooped and applauded ... when he said that without Obama's jobs bill, police will be 'outgunned and outmanned.' ... What is liberals' evidence that there will be more rapes and murders if Obama's jobs bill doesn't pass? Biden claims that, without it, there won't be enough cops to interrupt a woman being raped in her own home -- which would be an amazing bit of police work/psychic talent, if it had ever happened. (That's why Americans like guns, liberals.) Obama's jobs bill tackles the problem of rape and murder by giving the states $30 billion ... for public school teachers. Only $5 billion is even allotted to the police.... [D]id Flint [Michigan] use any money from Obama's last trillion-dollar stimulus bill to hire more police in order to prevent rape and murder? No, Flint spent its $2.2 million from the first stimulus bill on buying two electric buses. Even if what Flint really needed was buses and not cops, for $2.2 million, the city could have bought seven brand-new diesel buses and had $100,000 left over for streetlights. ... The 'green' buses were never delivered because the company went out of business -- despite a $1.6 million loan from the American taxpayer." --columnist Ann Coulter

Reader Comments

Publisher's Note: Every four years at this stage in the Republican presidential primary cycle, we publish a brief summary of candidate pros and cons, and thus subject ourselves to contemptuous criticism from graduates of the "shoot the messenger" school of politics. Notably, however, the "highest ratings" this year were no better than John McCain received four years ago -- just a thin notch above average, which is far removed from an enthusiastic endorsement of any of this year's candidates. By our assessment, though each candidate has their own subset of outstanding qualities, there is no candidate of the standing of Ronald Reagan among the GOP contenders, and even he would not have rated a perfect 10. If we have learned anything in all the election cycles we have endured, it is that there is no "perfect candidate," though if we could combine the strongest elements from the GOP contenders we could construct a very good one. That notwithstanding, let us repeat our conclusion: "At the end of this primary cycle, we WILL throw our full support behind the victor in order to defeat Barack Hussein Obama." We hope each of our readers will do the same.

"RON PAUL!" --numerous commenters

Alexander's Reply: As for RON PAUL!, predictably, a full third of the comments posted were from RON PAUL! supporters, and a number of those provide ample evidence why I noted that he doesn't pass the "nut job" test among most conservative voters. Based on those responses, it's clear that most respondents didn't even read the essay. They just scrolled to their candidate and started flaming, though we accurately identified Paul's strengths (which are admirable) and his weaknesses, and assigned him an overall ranking accordingly.

"As usual, with Obama's plan to use executive orders to enact his agenda, he still thinks he's above the law. Rules apply to the little people, not to him. He takes this attitude in an attempt to make himself look like the hero and to demonize Congress. Well, guess what? He's no hero; never will be." --Kathy

"As far as President Obama is concerned, it's 'What Constitution?' He has already TRAMPLED the Constitution as we know it and now he thinks he can run things without going through the House of Representatives and the Senate. I just don't understand how he and his cronies think!" --Malinda

The Last Word

"I had thought that at this late date, Obama had apologized to every nation on earth, but I heard a rumor that he wanted to apologize to Japan for our having dropped the A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but that Japanese diplomats had nixed it. I don't blame them. It might call to attention the fact that Japan never apologized for Pearl Harbor; for the death march at Bataan; for the American, British and Australian, POWs they slaughtered; for their butchery in Manchuria, Burma and the Philippines; and for kidnapping thousands and thousands of Chinese and Korean women for use in their military brothels. But you can't really expect patriotism or even perspective from Obama. In the history lessons he received from his radical professors and his demented religious mentors, it's only the United States that has ever been guilty of crimes and atrocities." --columnist Burt Prelutsky

The surprise to me is not that Herman Cain and Mitt Romney are at the top of the layer cake; it is that Rick Perry's campaign has fallen so far, and so fast.
