Forget 'gun control'; CSGV represents 'genocide enablement lobby'

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) most starkly exemplifies this way of thinking, with their insistence on a "government monopoly on force," which executive director Josh Horwitz claims is "the fundamental organizing principle of any political entity, including the United States." In support of that assertion, Horwitz cites Max Weber, whose Article 48 was absolutely indispensable in Hitler's rise to power. Interesting choice of influences, CSGV.

Military Detention Law Blocked by New York Judge (Update 2)

Opponents of a U.S. law they claim may subject them to indefinite military detention for activities including news reporting and political activism persuaded a federal judge to temporarily block the measure.

 

U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest in Manhattan yesterday ruled in favor of a group of writers and activists who sued President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and the Defense Department, claiming a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act, signed into law Dec. 31, puts them in fear that they could be arrested and held by U.S. armed forces.

Part Two: The Fiction and Non-Fiction of Obama

  • May 13, 2012

 In Part I of this report, we examined President Obama's earliest role models and the influence each likely had on him as he shaped his worldview. With an anti-colonialist father, a mother who rejected Western society, a communist mentor, a domestic-terrorist benefactor, and an anti-Semitic preacher, the reasons behind Obama's past and present actions come more sharply into focus. Below, we navigate through just some of the president's questionable political positions.  

 

Glenn Beck Reviews Barack Obamas Contradictions  

 

"Brave" enough to order the killing Osama bin Laden...but had a back-up memo to blame the military in case it went wrong?

 

The entire Obama administration along with the American left has heaped praise on the president for his "daring" and "brave" decision to send a Navy SEAL team into an Abottobbad compound to assassinate 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. In fact, Obama has even used the accomplishment as the crux of his latest campaign ad - a move even liberal mediaite Arianna Huffington deemed despicable. Yet in April it was revealed that then-CIA Director Leon Panetta drafted a memo that included an escape clause for the president should the operation go awry [emphasis added]: "The timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven's hands. The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the President. Any additional risks are to be brought back to the President for his consideration. The direction is to go in and get bin Laden and if he is not there, to get out." In plain-speak, Obama chose to blame the military, through "Patsy" Admiral McRaven, should the mission to kill bin Laden fail. Does this sound like something a Commander in Chief would or should ever do? The Wall Street Journal adds:

 Breitbart

 

The Vetting - Exclusive - Obama's Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: 'Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii'


Note from Senior Management:

 

Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.

Yet Andrew also believed that the complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama's ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him.

 

It is for that reason that we launched "The Vetting," an ongoing series in which we explore the ideological background of President Obama (and other presidential candidates)--not to re-litigate 2008, but because ideas and actions have consequences.

 

It is also in that spirit that we discovered, and now present, the booklet described below--one that includes a marketing pitch for a forthcoming book by a then-young, otherwise unknown former president of the Harvard Law Review.

By allowing our attention to be focused exclusively on the danger and prevention of terrorism, we ignore the many other ways we are being attacked. Specifically, we are missing what our Islamist enemies call their 'civilization jihad' - a form of warfare that employs manipulative financial techniques, lawfare, infiltration of our civil institutions and government and insidious information dominance. Together, these have the effect of exploiting our liberties and governing structures against us, so that our leaders wind up imposing the very anti-American values that our enemies promote.

Welcome to The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within - a 10-part, web-based video briefing that is designed to explain why and how this is happening.

It addresses a threat most Americans are unaware even exists within our country, let alone the degree of peril it represents.
The threat is the totalitarian, supremacist Islamic doctrine its adherents call "shariah" and the organized, disciplined and increasingly successful efforts by such adherents-- most especially the Muslim Brotherhood-- to bring it here.

We are making this course available in the hope of encouraging, informing and broadening support for national efforts to defeat the insinuation into this country of shariah's anti-constitutional and seditious program.

We're going to Washington, D.C. to stand with Israel  

 

From July 16 through July 18, 2012, Christians United for Israel will be holding its 7th Annual Washington Summit. We're going back to stand with Israel in our nation's capital. This year - more than ever - we need you to join us!

In the coming months, critical decisions are going to be made about Iran, Israel and the world. Finally, Washington is beginning to focus on the issue of a nuclear Iran. Many of our leaders want to confront this looming threat. But others want to keep kicking the can down the road. The debate is far from over.

  • We know that when thousands of CUFI activists arrive in DC and on Capitol Hill, we can change the conversation.
  • We can remind our leaders that a nuclear Iran is not only a threat to Israel, but to the US as well. And we can demonstrate to our elected officials that their constituents care enough about this issue to show up at their DC offices.
  • We know that we can create a sense of immediacy that's otherwise lacking.
  • We know that the more of us who show up and speak out -- the louder our voice and the greater our impact.

We stand at a critical juncture in history. Don't be silent! Don't miss your chance to make a difference! Don't pass up your opportunity to defend America and bless Israel!

Our leaders need to remember that we are watching them and we need to remember that God is watching us.

The time to speak out for Israel is now!
Please register today for CUFI's 2012 DC Summit.

FREE Training Conference

Saturday, August 18, 2012
Washington Dulles Airport Marriott
45020 Aviation Drive * Dulles, Virginia * (703) 471-9500

  Brigitte Gabriel and our National Staff want to personally invest our time with you and have worked hard to provide a FREE training for our members in the region around D.C.!

Please join us for the Northern Virginia Citizens in Action Training Conference.

 

 

If you are concerned about the growing threat of radical Islam and Sharia Law to our great land and you haven't seen a plan of action to meet this evil head on, here's your opportunity to join with us for real, measurable results.

Results that make a difference, not just a statement.

Our host team is working hard to deliver a day you won't forget. Plan on being there! Meet me and our growing team of professionals at the Dulles Airport Marriott on Saturday, August 18, 2012.
Registration will start at 7:30 AM with the event starting at 8:30 AM and running through 5:00 PM.

Here are a few comments we have received from previous training seminars around the nation:

"...After 8 hours in that chair ............. I was ready for another 8 hours - it seemed to end too soon..."

"I was literally stunned. Wow!
Brigitte Gabriel has assembled an incredible team to support her message of action and hope!"

"...As much as the issue depresses me, and I could cry every time I think about what is happening to the West, I left yesterday's conference energized and inspired. The day reminded me that I am *not* alone, after all, in trying to resist the dangerous absurdity of radical Islam that is being forced on us. I'm in desperate need of such reminders, as I'm sure most of us are. Whenever I'm close to despair, I remind myself of Brigitte's message. Thank you so much for this incredible training day!"

"...What an amazing seminar!"

"...I have never spent a better $45, 104 miles and 12 hours!" (Previous pricing for a similar event. We're wanting to involve as many as possible from this region, so for this event only, it's free!)

    You can find out more and register online by clicking here.

Sincerely,


Brigitte Gabriel

The Heritage Foundation The Case Against Obamacare: Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress

 

A Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress

Building on decades of Heritage research, The Case Against Obamacare: A Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress examines 15 key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Each report:

   

  • Cites specific sections of the 2,700-page health care law
  • Provides detailed analysis of specific Obamacare provisions
  • Identifies key principles for a better way to reform health care

The unmistakable conclusion of this series is that Obamacare must be fully repealed. Congress cannot build sound market-based health care reform on the flawed foundation of this health care law. Until it can be repealed, Congress must employ its full powers authorized by the Constitution to:

Patriot Action Network

 

Patriot Action Network

We are the Tea Party

 

On Thursday, our staff finalized the most explosive resource that Grassfire has ever published. It's called 69 Obama Lies.It's a Fantastic Resource for this election year!

I believe 69 Obama Lies is the most thorough "vetting" of Obama's actual words in print. And I know it is going to outrage the Left because we actually hold Obama accountable for what he said!

 

69 Obama Lies 


Dear Patriot,

About six weeks ago, our staff set out with the goal of putting the "truth detector" to what Obama has actually said. What we realized is Obama has lied so pervasively and thoroughly that even our staff had forgotten many of his most outrageous fibs! That's when we realized we had to create a written record of the Obama Lies.

When we finished, we had created a 122-page, 20,000-word dossier that documents a disturbing cross-section of fibs, falsehoods, and fabrications that our President has used to win votes while implementing his radical agenda. Go here to see a larger image of the cover and the full list of 69 Obama Lies we have documented:


http://www.grassfire.com/24098/offer.asp?Ref_ID=600013


+ + The Lies that got Obama elected...

69 Obama Lies is organized in six sections that cover everything from the lies Obama has told about himself (we call these "ObamaLies"), to his campaign lies, his lies about government and taxes, ObamaCare and domestic and foreign policy.

They are all here -- and footnoted so you will have complete documentation. We start with the ObamaLies -- his denial of Rev. Wright.... the "normalcy" of his church... the Bill Ayers lie... the ACORN lie... and Obama's "Brother's Keeper" lie which exposes his Marxist core.

Let's be clear -- it was these  "ObamaLies" along with his campaign lies that got Obama elected in the first place. Obama's ability to cloak his real beliefs and his real associations (with the willing help of the liberal media) kept his campaign moving forward.

But we don't stop there....

+ + Obama's "Big Government" Lies

69 Obama Lies also tracks the BIG LIE that Obama sold to the American people just after Inauguration Day -- that massive deficit spending would "create and save" jobs and restore the economy.

It was all a LIE. We know that now. But it is vitally important to have the facts laid out in an orderly fashion. That's precisely what 69 Obama Lies does. We expose the full range of Obama's Big Government lies...

The "Create Or Save Jobs" Lie...

The Stimulus Law is Working" Lie...

The "I'll Cut The Deficit" Lie...

The "Government Motors" Lie...

The "Cash for Clunkers" Lie...

The "Rich Pay Less In Taxes" Lie...

+ + Border Lies, ObamaCare Lies... Energy Lies...

69 Obama Lies literally covers every aspect of Obama's presidency -- from his lies about border security and immigration to his lies about gas prices and green jobs. 

We saved a whole section for Obama's signature legislative "achievement" -- ObamaCare. We've identified a Baker's Dozen of fibs Obama told just to get ObamaCare passed. 

And please note that each of the 69 Obama Lies is like a mini research report -- clearly laying out the specific Obama lie and fully documenting our sources.

You get the actual words of Obama set against the truth -- the LIE next to the reality check. Go here to request your copies and see the complete list of 69 Lies:


http://www.grassfire.com/24098/offer.asp?Ref_ID=600013

+ + 69 Obama Lies Begins Shipping In Two Weeks!

If you can help Grassfire with a contribution of ANY AMOUNT (even a few dollars to cover printing and shipping), we'll send you TWO COPIES of "69 Obama Lies" -- one to keep and one to share with a friend.

We have asked the printer to rush the first printing of 69 Obama Lies so we can get this resource into our team members' hands as quickly as possible.

As a result, we expect to begin shipping 69 Obama Lies the week of April 23.

In order to be included in our first shipment, please let me
hear from you as soon as
possible. Go here to request your two copies:

http://www.grassfire.com/24098/offer.asp?Ref_ID=600013

I truly believe 69 Obama Lies is the most thorough and most important resource Grassfire has ever created. And I want to put it in the hands of every Grassfire team member.

Please take a moment to order your two copies of 69 Obama Lies today, and thanks for the stand you are taking.

Grassfire Nation

A Glimmer of Hope for the American Dream

Yesterday in the Senate, America bore witness to the glaringly obvious division in Washington, as stark as the contrast between high noon in the desert and midnight in the mountains. On the one hand is Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) failure to pass a budget over the past three years. And on the other hand is leadership from conservative senators and representatives who have put forward serious proposals to rescue America from its debt and spending crises.

That division was laid bare inside the Capitol yesterday afternoon as the U.S. Senate voted 99-0 against President Barack Obama's budget -- a plan that spends more, taxes more, and slashes our military, all without making any attempt to reform America's entitlement mess.

Compare the President's proposal -- and Reid's total lack of a proposal -- with the four plans offered by conservatives in Congress, chief among them being Senator Mike Lee's (R-UT) budget, which mirrors the bold and thorough reforms The Heritage Foundation first proposed in its Saving the American Dream plan. That includes limiting the size of the federal government, reforming entitlement programs, and simplifying the federal tax code in an effort to restore our nation's economic prosperity and ensure that future generations are not saddled with today's debt.

Also important are plans proposed by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI), Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA), all of which acknowledge that America is facing a fiscal crisis that cannot be wished away, taxed away, or passed on to future generations. Though the Senate did not pass any of those plans yesterday, each of them garnered significantly more support than the President's "alternative," which did not even win one vote from his own party.

The liberal leadership in the Senate is utterly bereft of ideas, and they're also determined to prevent ideas from being offered. In a speech yesterday, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) explained, "Republicans are proving that we are willing to be held accountable to the American people by putting a plan on the table and showing the American people what we would do to try and get our fiscal house in order."

There are certain things the American people should expect when they send representatives to Washington. Standing on the sidelines while the nation swirls into a fiscal disaster is not one of them. Speaking from the Senate floor yesterday, Senator Lee expressed it best:

Doing nothing is no longer an option! Although this President and this Congress have attempted, by not having a budget, to convince the American people that doing nothing is the only option.

Ignoring our broken entitlement programs, maintaining our complex tax code, and pretending we don't have a spending problem ensures that our economy will never truly recover and the American dream will not be restored.


Thanks to Senator Lee, Representative Ryan, Senator Toomey and others like them, there are proposals, ideas, and plans to cut spending, fix entitlements, reform the tax code, and make sure that America is properly defended. Lee is right, doing nothing is not an option. But with the efforts of conservatives in Congress, there are plenty of good options on the table. If only their colleagues would join them in taking action.

Victory Center" on Facebook

-Gabriel Malor

Last week I had the opportunity to get a sneak-peek at the RNC's new Facebook application. Designed, in the words of one RNC staffer to "take our message where the people are," the Social Victory Center app will, among other things, hook users up with campaign news targeted based on their location and preferences (which Facebook already knows, of course), let users join volunteer efforts, distribute voter registration forms, and provide an online phone bank, all without leaving the Facebook website. It will also, if users wish, put those activities on the user's Facebook wall, letting their friends see what they're up to and, hopefully, encouraging them to join in.

GOP Facebook

 

It's an attempt to leverage Facebook's popularity in a new way and, at the moment, the Democrats have nothing like it. The Social Victory Center was unveiled to the public yesterday, so if you're on Facebook, check it out. As the general election ramps up, check back for volunteer activities as they're added. Also, like I did in 2008, I'll be pushing online phone banking in the final weeks of the election, only this time the RNC will have done the heavy-lifting that the McCain team wasn't too keen on.

RedState Morning Briefing

For May 18, 2012

 

 

1. Barack Obama: A Composite Kenyan

The Breitbart Crew has done the world a very valuable service in finding a 1991 biography of Barack Obama from his literary agent claiming he was "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."

Our own Jeff Emanuel also pointed out a 2004 Associated Press article that began, "Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations."

I do not believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya. I don't think it matters even if he were born overseas because his mother was an American citizen. I'm not going to debate it with the cult of birtherism.

But the Breitbart Crew has, only a few days after the Obama White House was caught editing the biographies of other Presidents on the White House website to insert Barack Obama into their Presidential legacies, done an invaluable service in highlighting two very important issues.

 

 

2. Romney/RNC almost catches up with Obama/DNC in April.

The New York Times reported this morning that the combined raised total for Romney and the RNC was $40.1 million in April, with Romney having $61.4 million in the bank: in comparison, Obama/the DNC raised $43.6 million. Barack Obama's own cash on hand for April - it was $104.1 million at the end of March - and we probably won't be told it until the Sunday deadline, or possibly a little later than that. Though, to be fair, Romney and the RNC haven't submitted their latest fundraising reports to the FEC, either.

Also: while I give points to the NYT for mentioning that this was a significant jump from Romney's March haul of $12.6 million, they might have kept comparing apples-to-apples and included the RNC's March fundraising total ($13.7 million). Or noted that the Democrats' $43.6 million number for April represents a drop from March's $53 million. Then again, I suppose that there's a narrative in place.

 

3. Gov. Scott Walker might have been right - leads Barrett by 6

It looks like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker might have been right last month when he said would win the recall fight.

Three recent polls have found Governor Walker at 50 percent and leading Democrat Tom Barrett.

 

4. Media Trackers Uncovers Massive Ballot Irregularities in Montana

In at least two counties in Montana, the home of a competitive U.S. Senate race that could tip the balance of power in the upper chamber, massive mail-in absentee ballot irregularities have been uncovered by Media Trackers Montana, a non-partisan investigative research organization with operations in five states across the country. In Broadwater county alone, where Sen. Jon Tester received only 35 percent of the vote in the 2006 general election, up to 600 erroneous mail-in ballots have been reported. Over a dozen Billings-area voters have complained that they received incorrect ballots. Yellowstone county officials have also reported numerous complaints from voters receiving the wrong ballot.

And to top it all off, even a sample ballot available to individual voters on the Montana Secretary of State's website is incorrect (this particular ballot allows the voter to select a state representative in two separate districts - districts 68 and 83). A majority of Montana voters are expected to vote by mail this November.

Defense amendment aims to grant terrorists legal rights

by ADAM KREDO

Former government experts fear that foreign terrorists could capitalize on a new House proposal that would afford them full protection under the U.S. legal system. The amendment would implement an unprecedented reversal in longstanding U.S. policy by requiring that terrorists be prosecuted in civilian courts-a shift that would also allow them to be housed among general inmates in American prisons.


Obama budget defeated 99-0 in Senate

by STEPHEN DINAN

Obama's budget suffered a second embarrassing defeat Wednesday, when senators voted 99-0 to reject it. Coupled with the House's rejection in March, 414-0, that means Obama's budget has failed to win a single vote in support this year. 


 

 

 

 



Heritage Foundation Member Briefing 

 

 

Preparing for the Worst by Strengthening National Defense 

by Katie Nielsen

A strong defense is our best offense. A powerful Navy with a large fleet will not only help to win wars, but it can also prevent them. Due to a lack of federal funding, the US fleet has dwindled to a low not seen since the First World War.

"Building more ships and fully funding maintenance and mod�ernization are critical to sustain�ing a healthy fleet," Heritage Foundation experts Steven Bucci and Baker Spring explain.

Fortunately, the tide may be changing for our Navy. Congress denied the passing of defense spending cuts, thereby showing support for national security:

   

By following the House Armed Services Committee's (HASC) lead in raising the top-line budget for defense over the President's fiscal year 2013 request, Congress can sustain this momentum. This will enable depleted military assets such as the Navy's fleet to modernize and grow. While legislators should strive to find efficiencies within defense, they should also reinvest savings into national security programs in need, such as the Navy's perennially underfunded shipbuilding budget.

 

There is debate concerning the cost effectiveness of adding more ships to the fleet. Those not in favor of ship building argue that increasing our current ships' capabilities with new technology will allow us to do more with less. Most naval experts, however, maintain that quantity is a quality all its own. The complications resulting from a depleted fleet are already fully underway:

Even as the fleet has shrunk, demand for naval presence has remained high. The stress this imposes on the remaining vessels is evident in cases such as the USS Essex, which failed to set sail twice in seven months due to mechanical failures. As fewer ships try to do more, they are strained.

Congress needs to remember its primary Constitutional responsibility: to provide for the common defense.  By increasing spending on defense by $2 billion, the House Armed Services Committee is signaling its strong support of national security and thereby demonstrating it will not accept the Obama administration's budget cuts. As Congress prepares to pass a budget that will deal with many, many other issues, it has to remember that ensuring a capable force that can not only defeat, but also deter, any foe is paramount.

As our former Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt,  famously said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Adding ships to our Navy will send a significant message: we are prepared.

What do you think? Should we increase the defense budget and expand our fleet?

Sen. Mike Lee's (R-UT) budget plan, which is based on The Heritage Foundation's Saving the American Dream plan, is an important step for the nation, Heritage President Ed Feulner writes in the Washington Times.

The reaction from those who want to continue the status quo is predictable. They will demagogue Mr. Lee and other conservatives for wanting to throw grandma over the cliff. How blind - and irresponsible. If we fail to act, then spending under programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid will balloon unchecked. Eventually, the nation will effectively go bankrupt. The truth is that the president's health reform law magnified the financial problem while already ending Medicare as we know it. ...

By substantially reducing the size and scope of the federal government, Mr. Lee's plan rightfully moves government toward its core responsibilities that fit within the Constitution and original intent of our Founding Fathers.

The youngest B-52 bomber currently in the Air Force rolled off the assembly line 50 years ago.

As part of  Protect America Month, The Heritage Foundation has released a new investigative video chronicling  the story of David Deptula, a retired three-star Air Force general.

Thirty years later, another Deptula boarded the aircraft: his son, flew the same F-15 at Kadena Air Force Base in Japan.

Muslim Voters Change Europe   May 17, 2012 11:29 am

Muslims cast the deciding voted that thrust Hollande into the Elys�e Palace. He also pledged to change French electoral laws so that Muslim residents without French citizenship would be allowed to vote in municipal elections as of 2014, enabling the Socialist Party to tighten its grip on political power.

An analysis of the voting patterns that barrelled Fran�ois Hollande to victory on May 6 as the first Socialist president of France since 1995 shows that this overthrow was due in large measure to Muslims, who voted for him in overwhelming numbers.

 Act for America

 

From the Desk of Brigitte Gabriel


 
Radical Muslim organizations are working with our government to rewrite counterterrorism training materials.

Help us stop this madness!

 

  • The FBI is reaching out to ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) for input while it is rewriting its counterterrorism training materials.
 

ISNA is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization and unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in America.

  •  
  • CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is mailing letters to law enforcement offices across America demanding to see how they conduct counterterrorism training, and offering to "review and improve" their counterterrorism training materials.
 

CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization connected to Hamas, and an unindicted co-conspirator in the same trial.

  •  
  • The Pentagon recently announced that it's reviewing its training materials to eliminate "offensive" statements.
  • The Obama administration has purged all references to radical Islam from its national strategic threat assessments.

Madness is on the march. Shockingly, our country's leaders are in effect allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to help determine our counterterrorism policies!

Our nation-and your family-will be at greater risk as a result.

We must expose this madness. We must fight this madness!

  • This is why we launched our open letter to congressional chairmen last month, urging them to investigate how the FBI is rewriting its counterterrorism training materials.
  • It's why I've created a new video presentation to expose this politically correct-driven madness. Entitled "The Purge: How Our Government is Stripping All References to Radical Islam from Counterterrorism Materials," you can view a short clip of the video here.
  • And it's why, later this year, we want to launch a new groundbreaking initiative called "The Thin Blue Line Project." (More on this in a moment).

To make all of this happen I need your help, and that's why I'm writing you this extremely important email today.

 

If you're not already one of our valued monthly contributors we call "Patriot Partners," I'm asking you to join us today by making an $11 monthly commitment here.

  Make a commitment of just $11 a month and I'll mail you an autographed copy of my new video entitled "The Purge" as my thank you.

Becoming a Patriot Partner is a simple and secure process. Just click here, choose the Patriot Partner option, and select the $11 gift level.

By doing so, you not only will be helping us expose "The Purge," you'll also be helping us take this important message to others AND launch the Thin Blue Line Project.


If you're already a Patriot Partner (thank you!), you can receive this new video by logging on here and increasing your monthly gift by just $7 or more. Choose the "Patriot Partner" option, and scroll down to where it says "update an existing recurring gift."

If you prefer to make a single contribution, you can do so HERE. Choose the "Contributing Member" option and select the $37 gift level.


You can also mail a contribution by printing out a reply form here.


This email launches our very important Spring Pledge drive. So we can continue to fight and win victories for you and your family we need 400 new $11 monthly contributing Patriot Partners and 800 Contributing Members making single gifts of $37.

I NEED YOUR HELP TO REACH OUR GOAL! Can I count on you today?

If the Obama administration is successful in completely purging all references to radical Islam from all counterterrorism training materials, those on the front lines fighting terrorism will be left to fight it "with one hand tied behind their back."

  • They won't understand how jihad drives Islamic terrorism.
  • They won't even understand what jihad is.
It was this absurd "See no jihad, hear no jihad, speak no jihad" thinking that allowed Major Nidal Hasan to complete his jihad against America by murdering 13 people at Ft. Hood.

Political correctness killed those soldiers every bit as much as Hasan did.

I trust you agree with me, this is madness.

This is putting our country, your community, and your family, at greater risk. All in the name of political correctness.

That's why I say again: We must not only expose this madness, we must fight it.

This is why we want to launch The Thin Blue Line Project. The "thin blue line" is an expression referring to law enforcement officers who stand as a "thin line" between the law-abiding and the lawbreakers in our society.

The idea for this project came from a law enforcement professional who approached us with his concerns about the disinformation and lack of accurate information his colleagues were getting.

The Thin Blue Line Project will be a web-based portal designed by law enforcement professionals for law enforcement professionals.

At this portal such professionals will be able to get resources and information they aren't getting now-and won't get in the future if "the purge" continues.

They'll be able to interact with other law enforcement professionals who understand the real nature of the threat.

As a result, while we continue to expose how our national security is being compromised, we'll be providing an invaluable resource to thousands and perhaps eventually tens of thousands of law enforcement professionals.

We'll be arming them with the truth-even if it isn't politically correct-and your family will be safer.

So please join our Spring Pledge drive today. Become an $11 a month Patriot Partner here. Or make a $37 one-time Contributing Member gift here.

When you do I'll mail you an autographed copy of my new video "The Purge," which exposes the frightening reality of what is happening to America's counterterrorism efforts.

And you'll be helping us get "The Thin Blue Line Project" off the ground-which will help us fight this madness.

I can't stress enough how important each monthly contributor is to our success. $11 a month is only 36 cents a day! For less than the cost of a postage stamp you can help us fight back against this politically correct madness.

Your support is not only essential to our organization, it will be a great encouragement to me personally. Knowing that you are standing with me means more to me than I can express in words.

Thank you.

Actually, there is ONE towards the bottom right.  The other flags are in order of appurtenance, Palestinian (2 flags top right+1 center left), Algerian, Turkish (towards center), Syrian (towards left of pic + below Palestinian flag), Moroccan (w. star in center), and European Union flag. The other flags I can't recognize, there are also Syndicates or Unions' flags.  That's France in a nutshell.

Also please read below the picture from a French citizen.  

 

This e-mail was sent from a friend in France - Maxime L�pante, through Stuart Kaufman

Hello to my American friends,

As you know, the Socialist Fran�ois Hollande won the presidential elections in France, last Sunday.  It is a catastrophe for France.

Hollande was elected by the Muslims:

A survey (of 10,000 Muslims) shows that 93% of the Muslims voted for him.

As 2 million Muslims participated in this election, Hollande got 1,720,000 Muslim votes more than Sarkozy did: (0.93-0.07) x 2,000,000 = 1,720,000. But at the end, from the entire population, he got only 1,139,316 votes more than Sarkozy.  So, without the Muslims' votes, Sarkozy would have been re-elected.

All the Muslim criminals feel now empowered.  Criminality is already on the rise (1,700 cars were burnt in France for the first night). Muslims are screaming anti-French and anti-Jews watchwords in our streets.

Veiled women, wearing the illegal burqa, are strolling in our streets.

And, as if this wasn't enough, Hollande wants to give to all the foreigners the right to vote in our elections!!

France will face a very hard situation. We are heading for civil war in a few years.

That's the last news from occupied France.

74 Democrats Join Radical Group to Force Israel Into Concessions

In the midst of ongoing rocket terror attacks against Israel from Gaza and even Egypt, as civil war rages in Syria, and as the threat from Iran approaches the point of no return, 74 Democrats in the House of Representatives have joined the radical, George Soros-funded J Street pressure group in supporting the Obama administration's attempt to force Israel into making risky concessions to the Palestinians.

How to Write About Israel
Writing about Israel is a booming field. No news agency, be it ever so humble, can avoid embedding a few correspondents and a dog's tail of stringers into Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, to sit in cafes clicking away on their laptops, meeting up with leftist NGO's and the oppressed Muslim of the week.

 
At a time when international desks are being cut to the bone, this is the one bone that the newshounds won't give up. Wars can be covered from thousands of miles away, genocide can go to the back page, but, when a rock flies in the West Bank, there had better be a correspondent with a fake continental accent and a khaki shirt to cover it.

Writing about Israel isn't hard. Anyone who has consumed a steady diet of media over the years already knows all the bullet points. The trick is arranging them artistically, like so many wilted flowers, in the story of this week's outrage.

Israel is hot, even in the winter, with the suggestion of violence brimming under the surface. It should be described as a "troubled land." Throw in occasional ironic biblical references and end every article or broadcast by emphasizing that peace is still far away.

It has two types of people; the Israelis who live in posh houses stocked with all the latest appliances and the Arabs who live in crumbling shacks that are always in danger of being bulldozed. The Israelis are fanatical, the Arabs are passionate. The Israelis are hate-filled, while the Arabs are embittered. The Israelis have everything while the Arabs have nothing.

Avoid mentioning all the mansions that you pass on the way to interviewing some Palestinian Authority or Hamas bigwig. When visiting a terrorist prisoner in an Israeli jail, be sure to call him a militant, somewhere in the fifth paragraph, but do not mention the sheer amount of food in the prison, especially if he is on a hunger strike. If you happen to notice that the prisoners live better than most Israelis, that is something you will not refer to. Instead describe them as passionate and embittered. Never ask them how many children they killed or how much they make a month. Ask them what they think the prospects for peace are. Nod knowingly when they say that it's up to Israel.

Our Very Own Greece

By Ross Kaminsky

The major difference is that California has an even bigger budget deficit than its Balkan cousin.

Stock, commodity, and currency markets have been on a roller-coaster ride in recent days as Greece's election results leave that nation without a functioning government, and without a clear path toward staying in the euro currency.

The right answer, albeit a very painful one, may be for Greece to take their medicine and leave the euro, and for Europe to stop bailing out a dysfunctional country that can never be competitive without a less expensive currency. Wednesday marked an all-time low in the Greek stock market.

More important, however, and where few Americans seem to be looking, is our very own Greece: California. Since California doesn't have the option of seceding from the union, one wonders when the state will ask the IMF for a Greek-style bailout.

Obama's Gay Political Play

The "Stupid Female Voter" Strategy

"Marriage is ... in its origin a contract of natural law... It is the parent, and not the child of society; the source of civility and a sort of seminary of the republic." --Justice Joseph Story

Gay Days at the White House

 

There was much gayety among some political constituencies this week.

In advance of his annual proclamation of June as "National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month," or more accurately, "Gender Confusion Month," Barack Hussein Obama ceremonially announced his support for so-called "gay marriage." I note "ceremonially" because while this purely political announcement had no effect on the legal status of homosexual relationships, it certainly moved the needle to the left in regard to the moral status of such "unions."

This proclamation came on the heels of North Carolina joining 29 other states by resoundingly approving a state constitutional amendment affirming the natural definition of marriage. Obama barely won North Carolina in 2008, and Democrats are holding their national convention there this year as they endeavor to retain that state's electoral votes and pick up some around it. Thus, one would think his announcement was ill-timed, unless there is a larger strategy in the works -- and indeed there is.

 

So why did Obama really go public with his support for the gay marriage agenda?

Certainly not to win the votes of homosexuals -- Obama already has them kowtowing in reverence, particularly after repealing the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban, and refusing to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act as duly passed by Congress and signed into law in 1996 by none other than Bill Clinton.

 

Most certainly not to win the votes of his sycophantic socialist cadres -- they will vote for Obama regardless of his position on social issues as long as his political platform is bent on redistributing wealth from income earners and delivering it to his most loyal constituents, those enslaved on the Democrats' government welfare plantation.

 

The calculus behind Obama's endorsement of "gay marriage" is twofold. First, he genuinely supports and identifies with homosexuals, and they with him -- indeed one in six of Obama's big-money "bundlers" is homosexual. He first signaled his desire to redefine this building block of human civilization back in 1996. But his identification with homosexuals is subordinate to his second motive, a political calculation that he believes will ensure his 2012 re-election -- and that re-election is critical to his macro agenda of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America."

Let's analyze Obama's reasoning on both counts.

 

Regarding his personal motive for promoting the homosexual agenda, Obama is an archetypal case study of Narcissistic Pathology Disorder, the almost universal underlying pathology of Leftist political leaders. Obama most certainly has a dominant though closeted homosexual predisposition, the ultimate expression of his unmitigated narcissism.

This psychological profile would surprise only those who are blinded, either by their cultish devotion to Obama or their shared pathology.

 

Newsweek Magazine certainly affirmed this diagnosis with its cover this week "outing" Obama's homosexual proclivity. It featured a photo of BO sporting a rainbow halo and the caption, "The First Gay President." In reality, however, there is nothing "gay" about gender disorientation.

 

Attempting to explain his rationale, Obama said, "[Michelle and I] are both practicing Christians and ... you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it's also the Golden Rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated. ... I was sensitive to the fact that for a lot of people, the word 'marriage' was something that evokes very powerful traditions, religious beliefs and so forth."

 

He continued, "But I have to tell you ... when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together -- when I think about those soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf, and yet feel constrained even now that 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is gone because they're not able to commit themselves in a marriage ... it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married."

 

Responding to his first rationale, I'd be negligent if I didn't challenge Obama's incredibly narcissistic assertion that "soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors [are] fighting on my behalf," rather than correctly understanding that they are fighting in accordance with their solemn oaths to "support and defend" our Constitution. Obama, of course, has affirmed the same obligation by oath but has vigorously refused to honor it.

 

But the core problem with Obama's "golden rule" reasoning is that his "faith" as a "practicing Christian" was mentored by another pathological narcissist, Jeremiah Wright, with whom Obama identifies most closely as "a father figure." Wright inculcated Obama with the "Marxist social gospel of hate, the antithesis of genuine Christianity. Thus, Obama's understanding of Christianity assumes that Jesus was a socialist.

Post your opinion on Obama's "faith"

 

Moreover, as with all narcissists, the faith expression of Wright and Obama is self-centered -- nothing more than a manifestation shaped by their own deity.

Not only is Obama's faith deeply flawed in regard to homosexuality, but many people of authentic Christian upbringing are also confused about this issue. For a brief but comprehensive perspective on how Christians should respond to the notion of "gay marriage," read Gender Identity, The Homosexual Agenda and The Christian Response.

 

Regarding Obama's second and more important reason for announcing his support for the homosexual marriage agenda, Leftist Sen. Dick Durbin (D-ILL) concluded, "I don't think it was a political calculation. ... I think it was a matter of conscience." Of course, Durbin knows that this was both "a matter of conscience," as outlined previously, and "a political calculation."

 

The Obama campaign's internal polling numbers are not looking good, especially with the one group of voters who have represented more than half of all votes cast since 1960 -- women. The female vote will determine the victor in the 2012 presidential election.

 

Though a female majority elected Obama in 2008, the Democrats' gender advantage is declining. In the 2010 midterm elections, for the first time in recent history, a majority of women voted Republican. Given the estimate that women drive more than 60 percent of financial decisions in the home, Obama's dismal approval ratings on issues related to economic recovery may cost him the election. That is, unless he can regain a majority of women voters by diverting their focus to other issues -- especially what he sees as a "winning" issue among women, homosexual advocacy.

Thus, Obama's gay political play, at its core, cynically assumes that a majority of women are too stupid to rise above their emotive compassion for, and identity with, effeminate men -- like Obama. This assumption is the overarching political strategy behind Obama's announcement, and it is confirmed beyond reasonable doubt by Demo-gogue Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who fallaciously insists that "there's no political calculus" behind Obama's gay marriage endorsement.

Post Your Opinion: Will women reject Obama's gay play?

 

How important is the "stupid women" strategy to Obama's long-term political objective?

"Gay" flag flying left at Federal Reserve Bank

The transformation of our nation into a Socialist state is predicated on the success of Obama's effort to destabilize the three pillars of Essential Liberty: Constitutional Liberty, Economic Liberty and Individual Liberty.

 

The Obama administration has done more to undermine constitutional Liberty than any Leftist since Woodrow Wilson.

 

The Obama administration has done more to undermine Economic Liberty than any Leftist since Franklin Roosevelt, with a plethora of policies designed to break the back of free enterprise and replace it with Democratic Socialism.

 

As for the third pillar, Obama knows that the most effective method of undermining Individual Liberty is to erode the integrity of faith and family. To the degree that our nation's faith foundation is undermined, the principle that Liberty is "endowed by our Creator" is enfeebled. To the extent that the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" are abjectly violated by redefining marriage, which in turn upends the basic building block of a free society, the family, the consequence is the decay of individual Liberty.

 

The notion that marriage and family are the foundation of society is older than Christ's teaching on the subject. In the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero (circa 50 B.C.), "[T]he first principle of society consists in the marriage tie, the next in children, the next in a family within one roof, where everything is in common. This society gives rise to the city, and is, as it were, the nursery of the commonwealth."

 

The bottom line for Obama and his Leftist cadres: Female voters will determine the outcome of the 2012 presidential election. Beyond all the topical rhetoric about redefining marriage, if Obama is correct in his calculation that a majority of women voters can be distracted from critical issues like Liberty and economy, his gambit on the gay political play will be a winner. Don't take that bet.

Time for a Federal law directing death info be compared with voter registrations

May 17, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

 

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

Examples of how easy it is to assume the identity of a dead person for purposes of casting a vote are growing.  America has an "identity Achilles Heel" and it's our voting process. In our nation the amount of identification required for an activity grows in direct proportion to how important an activity is thought to be - except when it comes to voting.   

Consider the activities judged to be more important than voting as indicated by the level of identification required.

Picking up tickets at a "Will Call" window requires a photo ID and sometimes more. Opening a bank account means showing photo ID and a second document. Sending money by wire out of the country cannot be done without a photo ID.

 In Florida showing photo ID is required to purchase COUGH MEDICINE!

   The first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court was the president of the American Bible Society.
Who was he? John Jay, who died MAY 17, 1829.
A member of the Continental Congress, even serving as its president, John Jay signed the Treaty of Paris with Franklin and Adams, ending the Revolutionary War.
The Treaty begins:
"In the name of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity."
Jay helped ratify the Constitution by writing the Federalist Papers with Madison and Hamilton.
In 1777, John Jay told an Ulster County Grand Jury:
"The Americans are the first people whom Heaven has favoured with an opportunity of...choosing the forms of government under which they should live...
The convention by whom that Constitution was formed were of opinion that the gospel of Christ, like the ark of God, would not fall, though unsupported by the arm of flesh."

Should We Obey All Laws?

 

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published May 16, 2012 on Townhall.com.

Let's think about whether all acts of Congress deserve our respect and obedience. Suppose Congress enacted a law -- and the Supreme Court ruled it constitutional -- requiring American families to attend church services at least three times a month. Should we obey such a law? Suppose Congress, acting under the Constitution's commerce clause, enacted a law requiring motorists to get eight hours of sleep before driving on interstate highways. Its justification might be that drowsy motorists risk highway accidents and accidents affect interstate commerce. Suppose you were a jury member during the 1850s and a free person were on trial for assisting a runaway slave, in clear violation of the Fugitive Slave Act. Would you vote to convict and punish?

A moral person would find each one of those laws either morally repugnant or to be a clear violation of our Constitution. You say, "Williams, you're wrong this time. In 1859, in Ableman v. Booth, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 constitutional." That court decision, as well as some others in our past, makes my case. Moral people can't rely solely on the courts to establish what's right or wrong. Slavery is immoral; therefore, any laws that support slavery are also immoral. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, "to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions (is) a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy."

Soon, the Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of Obamacare, euphemistically titled the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. There is absolutely no constitutional authority for Congress to force any American to enter into a contract to buy any good or service. But if the court rules that Obamacare is constitutional, what should we do?

Obama's Debacle

 

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published May 16, 2012 on The American Spectator website.

Obama has already succeeded in fundamentally transforming America, from a prosperous nation that draws people the world over, voting with their feet, to a rapidly declining former superpower on the fast track to a third-world status similar to Argentina or Venezuela. That is effectively what is argued by the new book Debacle: Obama's War on Jobs and Growth and What We Can Do Now to Regain our Future, by leading taxpayer activist Grover Norquist and economist John Lott.

The Worst Economic Recovery Since the Great Depression

Central to the debacle Obama has created is that he has imposed on America the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression. Yes, the country was in recession when Obama was elected. But it was Obama's policies that turned it into the Great Recession and prevented the American economy from recovering -- just like his icon Franklin Roosevelt turned the 1929 stock market collapse into the Great Depression, and prevented America from recovering for more than a decade. As Norquist and Lott explain:

 

While this recession no doubt has been one of the worst since the Great Depression, the supposed recovery that followed it has clearly been the worst. Unemployment and job growth have been abysmal. As of October, 2011, the unemployment rate was stuck at least at 9.0 percent for 27 out of 29 months. Astoundingly, the unemployment rate during the 29 months of recovery averages three full percentage points higher than the average unemployment rate during the recession. There is no comparable recovery on record since the prolonged period of stagnation during the Great Depression in the 1930s. The Reagan recovery, starting in late 1982, hit a higher unemployment rate, but after the recovery started, it did not take more than nine months for the unemployment rate to dip below 9 percent.

Obama's Wicked Marriage Proposal   

 

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published May 11, 2012 on The Washington Times website.

After having done everything in his power to undermine marriage, President Obama has come out of the closet, so to speak, with his announcement that he's now for brideless or groomless "marriage." But he didn't come out alone. He brought Jesus with him, citing Christ as his inspiration for directly attacking God's moral order. It's one thing to be a hypocrite, which Obama has been since 2008. That's when he began pretending to oppose the redefinition of marriage while since then refusing to defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act and homosexualizing the military. It's quite another thing, however, to invoke Christ when doing the devil's work.

Forget the voters. Mr. Obama's going to have to answer to God for this one. Wednesday's announcement even might sober up the people who voted for Mr. Obama simply to show that America has overcome racial division. Someone should survey pastors who support Mr. Obama and ask: Which is more important - electing a man on the basis of race or upholding the integrity of the faith and what the Scriptures say about marriage? Citing Genesis 2:24, Jesus said in Matthew 19:5: "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

This actually is about much more than marriage. It's about truth. Mr. Obama is asking us to put into law a requirement for us to recognize as a marriage something that is not a marriage. When you do that, you create the sinews of tyranny, which stretch out to strangle freedom of speech, freedom of association and, eventually, freedom of religion. The virtue of tolerance is strangled, too, morphing into the vice of mandatory celebration.

Rep. Paul Ryan Schools Georgetown on How to Help the Poor  

 

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published May 10, 2012 on Forbes.com.

On April 26, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan delivered the 2012 Whittington Lecture at Georgetown University focused on his 2013 budget and its implications for poverty programs and the poor. That budget has now passed the House of Representatives.

Ryan addressed the Catholic institution "as a Catholic holding public office" trying to conform his work to Catholic "social doctrine as best I can make of it." He presented a vision that would be far more effective in helping the poor than current federal policies that have prevailed for decades. Georgetown is to be congratulated for giving him a high profile platform for presenting that vision. But too many among the faculty and students indicated that they were not interested in even listening to any new vision or policies, preferring to stick doggedly to the cutting edge ideas of 1935.

Ryan was greeted by a 50 foot banner asking the illuminating question, "Were you there when they crucified the poor?" That was accompanied by a letter from nearly 90 members of the faculty that already condemned his budget as a plan that "decimates food programs for struggling families, radically weakens protections for the elderly and sick, and gives more tax breaks for the wealthiest few." But Ryan's budget doesn't do anything like that, and the faculty members should have been ashamed to attach their names to a document reflecting political rhetoric and cheap party talking points rather than a serious discussion of the issues.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had sued the Giles County school district for posting the Ten Commandments in its public schools, and U.S. District Judge Michael F. Urbanski sent the case to mediation on Monday, suggesting a compromise: deleting the four commandments that mention God.

An Obama appointee, Judge Urbanski also issued a preliminary injunction on behalf of the ACLU in February prohibiting the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors from "invoking the name of a specific deity associated with any one specific faith or belief in prayers given at Board meetings." No word yet on how much this ticked off the local Hittites and voodoo priests.

Pacquiao Banned From L.A. Mall For Same-Sex Marriage Opposition
By Ben Shapiro
Breitbart.com
 

The "tolerant" same-sex marriage left has struck again - this time, at the popular hangout The Grove, in Los Angeles. The owner of The Grove, Rick Caruso, tweeted that iconic boxing great and Philippines Congressman Manny Pacquiao would not be allowed "on the premises" thanks to Pacquiao's outspoken opposition to same-sex marriage. "Boxer Manny Pacquiao is not welcome @TheGroveLA," he tweeted. "@TheGroveLA is a gathering place for all Angelenos, not a place for intolerance." Pacquiao was supposed to do an interview today with "Extra" at The Grove.

Democrats Continue Reaching Back To Bush Era For Excuses

Liberals Try to Blame GOP for Democrat Wild Spending
By Jerry McConnell
CanadaFreePress.com

As if anyone is surprised, (not likely), the liberal Democrats continue to roll out the Prevaricatin' Machine to blame the Republicans for the excessive spending that they, the Democrats, have done since 2007. I'm sure most everybody with any talent in reading or listening has heard the usurping parasite in OUR White House continue to blame the Democrat's spending on George W. Bush. Obama is actually going to stress Bush's fault for just about every thing that is wrong with our country as his reelection strategy.

COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY: 173 DAYS TO THE 2012 ELECTIONS


Budget Battles

The headlines from Greece and Europe should be warning signs to us. No nation can long survive record debt and deficits. A day of reckoning is not far off. So what is Washington doing about it? Yesterday the Senate voted on five proposals, and not one passed.

A budget offered by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) failed 16-to-83. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) offered a budget, but it fared no better, losing 17-to-82. A plan modeled after House Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) proposal failed 41-to-58. Senator Pat Toomey's budget (R-PA) got the most votes, but still came up short on a 42-to-57 vote.

You will notice these are all Republican proposals, yet Democrats control the majority in the Senate. Where was the Democrat budget? For the third year in a row, Senate Democrats have refused to produce a budget.

So Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, decided to put President Obama's 2013 budget proposal on the floor. It failed 0-to-99. That's not a typo. Not one single Democrat was willing to vote for Barack Obama's tax-hiking, big-spending budget.

And this isn't the first time. Earlier this year, Obama's budget was defeated 0-to-414 in the House. And last year, the Senate voted 0-to-97 against Obama's 2012 budget. If members of Obama's own party won't embrace his budget priorities, why should the American people?

There is a growing frustration among the grassroots with this kind of dysfunction in Washington. Businesses can't operate without a budget. Every family struggles and makes difficult decisions around the kitchen table to balance its budget. Yet Congress seems incapable of performing one of its most basic tasks.

A growing number of congressmen are getting fed up too. They have introduced the "No Budget, No Pay Act," which would prohibit members of Congress from getting paid unless a budget is passed by October 1st. So far 50 House members and 10 senators are co-sponsoring this legislation. I like their idea, but the best solution is a change of leadership in the White House and the Senate!


Obama In History

Yesterday I reported on the White House's arrogant editing of presidential biographies by inserting comments about how their accomplishments relate to Obama and his policies. The folks at the Republican National Committee decided to have a little fun with it. You can check it out here.


Biden Unhinged

Joe Biden is best known for his comical gaffes. But yesterday the vice president seemed to come unhinged as he unleashed an angry broadside against the wealthy and the GOP. It was so out of character that some commentators suggested he was close to having a Howard Dean meltdown. Others speculated that Biden was auditioning not for 2016, but to keep his spot on the 2012 ticket!

Watch Biden here. Does that look and sound like a man who is confident of victory? I don't think so!

Heritage Culture Watch 

May 17, 2012     Franciscan University Stands for Faith and Freedom

Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio recently announced that it would no longer offer a student health insurance plan because it cannot do so under Obamacare without violating its religious beliefs.

At issue is the Obamacare "preventive services" mandate promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The mandate requires almost all health care plans to include abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization services, and contraception.

Many individuals and institutions object on religious or moral grounds to participating in health care plans that include these products and services. Franciscan University, for example, has "specifically excluded" these products and services from its student health insurance policy.

For Franciscan, this issue is a matter of staying true to its Catholic faith, and the university does not plan to compromise. The school "will not participate in a [health care] plan that requires us to violate the consistent teachings of the Catholic Church on the sacredness of human life."

Instead of blaming the President's failure to protect freedom, some critics will undoubtedly attempt to blame Franciscan University for sticking to its principles. But that is a losing argument.

Students who really want abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization services, and contraception in their university-sponsored health care plans can go other places. The question is whether, under Obamacare, students who want to attend an authentically Catholic university will be able to do so without being disadvantaged.

Recent events such as these should lead those who care about religious freedom to ponder more deeply the ways that religious freedom goes hand in hand with the condition of freedom more generally. The Obamacare health care legislation represents an enormous intrusion by government into freedom of private choice and decision-making more generally. It should be no surprise, therefore, that Obamacare has already triggered what has been called an "unprecedented" imposition on religious freedom. And the "preventive services" mandate is just one small part of a gigantic statutory and regulatory scheme that is still being implemented.

Members of various faith traditions and religious persuasions often make common cause with each other in the defense of religious freedom. However, as government continues to invade ever more deeply into realms of private choice and decision-making, those who seek to defend religious freedom should also make common cause with those who defend freedom in general. Religious freedom is rightly called our "first freedom," but a society that abandons its moral and political commitment to freedom in general will become less willing and indeed even hostile to protecting religious freedom in particular instances.

Exemptions and carve-outs are an important part of an overall strategy for protecting religious freedom. At some point, however, the problem of overweening government regulation will become so enormous that people and institutions of faith may very well become "mincemeat" if they rely exclusively on a "Swiss cheese" approach to protecting freedom in religious and moral matters.

Obamacare's CO-OPs Put Taxpayer Dollars at Risk for No Good Reason

Yet another provision of Obamacare is expected to cost taxpayers more than they expected. The House Energy and Commerce Committee recently sent a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) asking for details regarding the probable loss of $3.1 billion out of the $3.4 billion in Obamacare loans to its Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan ("CO-OP"). The estimate comes from the President's Budget Appendix, and the committee is considering rescinding funds that haven't already been obligated.   
The Obamacare initiative gives CMS the authority to award $3.4 billion in loan subsidies to states to fund start-up costs and to help meet state solvency requirements for the health plans in the CO-OP initiative, The Committee's letter explains that these loans are a bad investment for taxpayers: "[T]he amount of expected losses is estimated to be about $3.1 billion of the $3.4 billion appropriated (91 percent). These losses exceed the estimate HHS presented in its proposed rule."

The loss of taxpayer dollars is a serious concern. In addition, the committee also raises further concerns with CO-OP's potential effect on the insurance market. The letter cites research showing that "Past instances of insurer insolvency demonstrate the severe negative impact on the insurance markets."

It's also important to realize that Obamacare's acronym is a bit misleading. The original term co-op stands for co-operative, meaning a private organization owned jointly by its members. Co-op insurance plans are policyholder-owned, nonprofit health insurance issuers that offer qualified health care plans to individuals and small groups in the states. They've actually existed for over a century, often called "mutual" insurers; they include major insurance companies such as Northwestern Mutual and State Farm.

Should the Agriculture Committee Decide What We Do in Afghanistan?

No reasonable person would recommend that the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee send a bill to the Senate floor restructuring our present and future relationship with the government in Afghanistan without first receiving the opinion of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees. The Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees should be the Senate's experts on foreign policy and military affairs, so it would not make sense to adopt policy without first giving those committees an important role in the making of it.   So why has it become regular practice for Congress to allow such outrageous results when it passes laws that add or modify criminal offenses or penalties?

ABOUT OVERCRIMINALIZATION


The Heritage Foundation and a coalition of public interest legal groups are committed to reversing the troubling trend of overcriminalization, which is defined by three attributes:

1. Federalizing crime that properly belongs under state and local jurisdiction;

2. Imposing criminal penalties upon persons who acted without criminal intent (mens rea);

3. Applying criminal sanctions to conduct that historically has not been considered wrongful.

This Legislative Update includes bills our researchers have identified that add or expand federal criminal offenses or penalties, but it generally does NOT include bills involving drugs, firearms, or crimes of violence.

The Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation  Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is the nation's most broadly supported public policy organization. Heritage created the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies in 2001 to educate government officials, the media and the public about the Constitution, legal principles and how they affect public policy.


 

 

 

 

 



 Heritage Action for America Insider

Starting to Save the American Dream

Yesterday afternoon, a core group of seventeen conservative Senators voted to begin the process of Saving the American Dream.  While Harry Reid and his partisan colleagues rejected every single budget - including President Obama's - conservatives rallied around Senator Mike Lee's "Saving the American Dream" budget.

>> See the 17 that stood with Mike Lee and voted to Save the American Dream.

Even in a hyper-partisan election year, these Senators embraced the adage that good policy makes good politics.  As Senator Lee said yesterday, "Doing nothing is no longer an option! ... The good news for Americans is that many of us do have solutions to confront and correct the country's most pressing challenges." 

>> Watch Sen. Mike Lee courageously fight for the American Dream on the Senate floor.

Americans understand our nation faces a critical choice. Only bold conservative solutions will save our country from a bankrupt future. We now know which Senators actively support the reforms we desperately need.

Thanks for your support and the conservative accountability you brought to the US Senate prior to this critical vote. Our work is cut out for us, but together we will save the American dream.

Sincerely,

Michael A. Needham
Chief Executive Officer
Heritage Action for America

 

P.S. Heritage Action helped shape the conversation on the budget debate, but there is more work to be done. We rely on principled conservatives like you to support our work. Stand with us as continue putting the pressure on Congress by donating today.
