Jihad's Willing Executioners

Quietly, behind the scenes, the Muslim Brotherhood is enforcing censorship of all U.S. government training about Islam and the forces of Islamic jihad. Under the co-opted direction of National Security Council official, Quintan Wiktorowicz, key Cabinet Departments, including Defense, Homeland Security, Justice and State are purging their curriculum materials of any references about Islam that their Muslim Brotherhood advisors find objectionable. In effect, the national security policy of the U.S. government is being brought into compliance with Islamic law on slander.

Under Islamic law (sharia), "slander" means "to mention anything concerning a person [a Muslim] that he would dislike." Telling the whole truth about Islamic doctrine, law and scriptures-especially the Muslim obligation to conduct warfare against non-Muslims, subjugate them and force them to live under Islamic law-would reveal the very essence of sharia Islam. For obvious reasons, it's not the part of Islam that its Brotherhood vanguard wants Americans to know about.

It's much easier to conquer an adversary who's been anesthetized, cowed, infiltrated and lulled into ignorant passivity than one who's alert and on the defensive. That, in a nutshell, is why there is a campaign called "Islamophobia," designed and promoted by the Muslim Brotherhood to silence those who would speak truth about Islam. And it is why the Brotherhood coup that has just achieved the capitulation of the top levels of the U.S. government is so dangerous to the future of the Republic and America's Constitutional rights.

NATIONWIDE RALLY FOR YOUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS!

There is a mandate in the healthcare bill that orders people to abide by certain government orders even if they are in conflict with your religious beliefs. This applies to all citizens, therefore, is an enforcement by government on every citizen no matter what their choice of religion is. The mandate forces various religious institutions to provide contraceptive medicine, abortion medicines, and other women's pharmaceuticals to employees even if it is against their religious beliefs. This HHS mandate rips our First Amendment to shreds and it is already law. Come out and stand with others across our nation for your First Amendment rights.

Let the Supreme Court know how much we care!

JUNE 8 - Main Speakers noon to 1:00PM. Bring a chair or stand.

Philadelphia ZOA Quarterly Meeting  

Join Us on Fridays and Take a Stand for Israel:    

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.  

Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Overview

An extremely important movie is coming this summer - Dinesh D'Souza - Obama & 2016

Dinesh D'Souza is author of many New York Times best sellers.  The movie is from Gerald R. Molen, producer of Academy Award Winning Schindler's List.

It explains in plain language who Barack Obama really is, what he stands for, and the dangers of him being reelected for another four years.

Watch this short informative video preview of this movie and share it with others.  It has already been seen by over 1,250,000 people.  Within a very short time it will have been seen by millions!  After you see the preview, listen to what Dinesh has to say about Obama.  Please take the time to hear this and pass it on.

A Special Message from Americans United for Freedom Contributor KrisAnne Hall  

THE PLAN TO BAN TEA PARTY RALLIES

SIT DOWN & SHUT UP OR ELSE

By KrisAnne Hall
www.AmericansUnitedforFreedom.com
March 6, 2012

Heading into the most important election of our lifetime, Barack Obama and a terrified Congress want to make sure angry Americans can never again gather en mass to change the course of history as we did with the 1.2 million member 912 March and the demonstrations that flipped Congress in 2010. No, our tyrannical politicians want to force you to stay home and shut up.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT SHALL NOT DIE ON OUR WATCH! - REPEAL HR347 & 1794 - FAX CONGRESS NOW!

The protected right of the people peaceably to assemble is unalienable, something that has afforded deep fundamental and historical foundations to our freedom. Our Founders established a clear "no trespassing sign" via our First Amendment to keep the government away from this God-given right essential to Liberty. "Congress shall make no law abridging...the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." But new legislation has been passed in Congress that will destroy this absolutely central, simple and non-negotiable right imperative to a free people.

HR 347 and S 1794, the "Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011" has nothing to do with improving landscaping around federal buildings. This bill is being presented as a No Trespassing bill. Reasonable people understand that lawful restrictions and protections are needed for government officials and government functions. However, this legislation makes it a federal crime to allegedly DISRUPT the "ORDERLY CONDUCT" of government.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT SHALL NOT DIE ON OUR WATCH! - REPEAL HR347 & 1794 - FAX CONGRESS NOW!

The violator doesn't have to be physically on the grounds where the government business is being conducted, just within the vicinity of the self-proclaimed "business of government." The law is not limited to buildings or locations as the title suggests, but seems to be "roving" and follows persons protected by Secret Service wherever they may go.

• Standing on a sidewalk with a sign as a Congressman walks by? BUSTED
• Traffic slowing to read your Tea Party signs? BUSTED
• Make a statement at a town hall meeting that your Congressman doesn't like? BUSTED

1752(a)(2) knowingly, and with intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of government business or official functions, engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, any restricted building or grounds when, or so that, such conduct, in fact, impedes or disrupts the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions;

1752(a)(3) knowingly, and with the intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions, obstructs or impedes ingress or egress to or from any restricted building or grounds;

1752(c)(1) the term 'restricted buildings or grounds' means any posted, cordoned off, or otherwise restricted area - (B) of a building or grounds where the President or other person protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting; or C) of a building or grounds so restricted in conjunction with an event designated as a special event of national significance;

THE FIRST AMENDMENT SHALL NOT DIE ON OUR WATCH!
REPEAL HR347 & 1794 - FAX CONGRESS NOW!

The right protected in the First Amendment is the right to peaceably assemble. We do not have the right to impede the flow of traffic, either on sidewalks or roadways. We do not have the right to impede anyone's business practices. But this law is not about private business, it is about government operations. Make that Big Brother Government Operations.

This Congress has a habit of writing in vague and overbroad terms; yet, in order for laws to be Constitutionally sound they CANNOT be vague and overbroad in ANY aspect, and they can ONLY interfere with the rights of the people in as narrow a capacity as both necessary and according with Constitutional principle. But this law makes it a crime to disrupt the government. The Supreme Court has said this type of broad language gives too much power to the government, and they have been saying this since 1939. This law actually places the desire of the government to be free from disruption unconstitutional power over the right of the people to redress the government of their grievances.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT SHALL NOT DIE ON OUR WATCH!
REPEAL HR347 & 1794 - FAX CONGRESS NOW!

Suppose your Congressman, who is under Secret Service protection, has a town hall meeting and many members of the community show up to challenge him on his voting record. This law could be construed to allow federal charges to be brought against these citizens for disrupting his town hall meeting by attending and demanding to be heard under the First Amendment. After all, it will not be hard to claim that people who are not happy with the Congressman's voting record had the "intent" to disrupt this meeting. This vague and overbroad language has the potential to ultimately prevent people from gathering outside any government building or politician's function for fear of being charged with a federal offense. In Constitutional law, we call that a "chilling effect" and the Supreme Court has always held these restrictions to be unconstitutional. After all, who can afford to risk going to jail, to carry a record of federal arrest, to stand for their rights - even if they will win?

The right to orderly conduct of government is NOT a constitutionally protected right. However we DO have the right to free speech and the right to peaceably assemble. Our Constitution enshrines in government the fundamental principle of protection for our God-given, unalienable rights freely to speak and assemble. These rights of We the People are held as foundation stones of our individual Liberty and the government must protect these rights, not limit them. And throughout history, our Supreme Court has protected these rights.

• Hague v. CID, 307 U.S. 496 (1939)
• Boos v. Barry, 485 U.S. 312, 318 (1988)
• United States v. Grace, 461 U.S. 171, 177 (1983)
• Educ. Ass'n v. Perry Local Educators' Ass'n, 460 U.S. 37, (1983)

In every single case, the Court ruled that the people's First Amendment right to protest fundamentally outweighs the government's right to avoid uncomfortable situations at which politicians may be called to account for their actions.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT SHALL NOT DIE ON OUR WATCH!
REPEAL HR347 & 1794 - FAX CONGRESS NOW!

People have the right to complain, the right to have their voices be heard, the right to redress their grievances in the form of protests. These actions are supposed to make the government take notice. Disruption cannot be the standard to stop speech. To allow the government to create this new standard allows the government to tell us to sit down and shut up.

The chilling effect occurs not in the fact that you are denied your due process. If you are arrested because of unlawful legislation you can fight the prosecution and even sue the government for violating your rights. If the Supreme Court has not become completely corrupted you have fairly good odds of winning. But, as anyone who has been wronged by a government agency can tell you, a victory will often come at the expense of a ruined life and livelihood.

The bottom line is that there are laws in every municipality that punish Trespass, Disorderly Conduct, Assault, and any other crime involving real threats against government and persons in government. Why do we need a vague and overbroad FEDERAL LAW to enforce laws that are already in effect, when that law could encroach on our God-given, protected rights? William Penn said, "Necessity, it is said, is the plea for every infringement of human Liberty; it is the argument of tyrants and the creed of slaves." Clearly, we don't need a "Federal Trespass Bill." We already have one; it's called the Bill of Rights!

When will we have enough of government intrusion on our Constitutionally protected rights? We were outraged because we are Taxed Enough Already. When will we recognize that if we cannot trust the government with our finances, then we certainly cannot trust the government with our Liberty?

THE FIRST AMENDMENT SHALL NOT DIE ON OUR WATCH!
REPEAL HR347 & 1794 - FAX CONGRESS NOW!

A Reader 

Hillsdale College is a private, coeducational, residential, liberal arts college with approximately 1,400 students. Founded in 1844, the College remains, in the words of its Articles of Association, "grateful to God for the inestimable blessings resulting from the presence of civil and religious liberty and intelligent piety" in our nation, and dedicated to "the diffusion of sound learning" that is "essential to the perpetuity of these blessings."

Hillsdale College is distinguished by its rigorous core curriculum, by its principled rejection of federal and state taxpayer funding, and by the pledge of its Board of Trustees to resists any attempts by the government to regulate its internal affairs.

Hillsdale College promotes the principles of liberty nationwide through its national speech digest, Imprimis, which has a monthly circulation of over 2 million, and through several outreach programs. In 2008, Hillsdale launched its Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C. The College will also launch the Hillsdale Graduate School of Statesmanship in fall 2012.

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.

Lou Flanagan

The General Wayne Tea Party

 Walker's decisive win as reported by three national newspapers:

The Washington Times:

My random thoughts about Gov Walker's big win in Wisconsin.

The liberals are saying, "What did you expect? We were outspent 9-1" - they just don't get it. First of all, they are lying about how much they were outspent, both sides spent enough money to win.

Challenging the Unions pays off politically and fiscally.

Wisconsin is a much more liberal state than Pennsylvania - much more liberal.

The Unions poured into Wisconsin from all over the country and they stomped and whined, but they lost. This is a huge wake-up call.

Today the Wisconsin voters are all on buses and planes, going back from where they came... (to their real states, like Illinois, Indiana, California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, etc)

Walker won by 7 points, if you take out the liberal cheating, it could have been 10% (I have no facts to back this up, but I am convinced that liberals get about 3% extra votes in their cities, just like they do here in Philly).

The Pennsylvania RINOs are probably all getting phone calls from Union Leaders today saying, "Don't even think about it...." The Union Leaders will pull out all the stops, will pull out all the coercion, all the blackmail, all the bribes, to make sure "their politicians" don't try to reform Pensions, or reform prevailing wage, or stop the oppressive labor laws that require mandatory membership in unions and mandatory deduction of union dues.

Wouldn't it be great if the 25-30 Pennsylvania RINOs decided to listen to what Gov Walker said in his victory speech last night? Walker said this - "Voters really do want leaders that stand up and make the tough decisions"

I fear our PA RINOs won't wake up, the Union leaders (and their money) will lean on the RINOs hard and they will cave in to them.

When I say "Republican Leadership" I'm including all our Republican Committee Chairmen and Vice-Chairmain and staff in every town and every county. We need to remind them that they represent US - they should constantly be telling Corbett, Pileggi, Smith, Milne, Ross, and all the others - that the voters are very disappointed with our timid agenda - we have a "3 for 3" super majority and we want some real reform.

I am sick of thinking about the Pensions that these public union employees are getting! When a 28-year old garbage man in north Jersey gets $75,000 a year, and tells me that he will get a 100% pension after 25 years, and that he will be making $125,000.... well, its just wrong... its greedy.

He started at age 20, so that means he can get his 25 years in at age 45 and start collecting $125,000 a year pension for the rest of his life. And its the taxpayers that have to pay that bill.

Its the same in Pennsylvania - our state prison guards get an enormous pension, based on their "high three" (highest 3 years of salary) They can swell that salary by adding overtime, shift differential, and other pays. A prison guard makes about $55,000 a year, but their "High Three" will swell to $120,000 and that's what their pension is based on. Is this sane??

Its the same with all our public union employees and teachers - even the janitors at our schools get these outrageous excessive pensions.

We need politicians and party leaders that will say "Enough!" - we need leaders who can articulate that the current pension system is out of control.

As a military retiree, I get 46.5% of my base pay (which was $2400 per month) - thats it. I can't include money I received when I was active duty (like housing, food, uniforms, sub pay, sea pay, hazardous duty pay, etc).

Union members get all kinds of "extra pay" included in their final pension packages. For example, teachers get to swell their pensions with money for coaching, choir, chorus, bus watchers, drama club, and all kinds of "other" pays. Its not right, its excessive, its greedy.

I urge everyone to remind their state reps and their state senators and their state committee leaders that "they work for us" - don't be beholden to the unions. I know that deep in their hearts they saw what happened and a light went on, now lets hope that our Pennsylvania leaders will not be scarred of the unions.

Thanks for listening and thanks for having the courage to do the right thing.

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.

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 June 7, 2012

1. If Only They Don't Go Wobbly

Our Republican Leadership in Washington, D.C. is extremely risk adverse. It is very clear the leadership has convinced itself, despite historic truth, that Newt Gingrich lost his job because of the government shutdown way back when. They do not want to have protracted fights. They want to appear reasonable. They crave the press's adoration of "grown ups" and "reasonable men."

I expect Barack Obama to capitalize on this Republican lack of self-esteem before October. I expect him to manufacture some fight with the GOP on fiscal issues and expect the GOP to cave so he can appear "reasonable."

The media will aid him with choruses of "good government" and "government working" and "bipartisanship."

2. From Sen. DeMint: The Other Big Elections

There were actually three major elections centered around state and local government employee pensions and benefits Tuesday night.

And though the media blanketed the Wisconsin gubernatorial recall with coverage, you can be forgiven if you didn't even know about the referenda in San Diego and San Jose, California. Voters in those two cities, respectively the 8th and 10th largest in the country, were asked whether to reform their city employee retirement plans, converting them from defined benefit pensions to defined contribution, 401(k)-style plans.

The reforms passed in both cities by 2-to-1 margins.

3. Saxby Chambliss Does the Right Thing, Re: SWATting

I must admit, I'm happy my state has two Republican Senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson. It's certainly better than the alternative, whether one or two Democrats. However, there are so many times that I wish they'd give us conservatives more than what they'd do.

So, for once, I am happy to see one of my guys taking the lead on an issue, especially one as dangerous and pressing as SWATting.

More on the Slaughtered Convert to Christianity   Jun 06, 2012 12:22 am

I just received an email from the editor of a large website, who posted my story from yesterday about the slaughtered apostate. He writes:

The story generated a huge number of commentaries from readers, some of them originating from Muslim Countries. They harshly dispute and deny the veracity of the facts you mention in your paper. Some argue that this abomination did not take place in Tunisia-and I do believe so-but somewhere in Iraq, that the young man is not a Christian but a Shiite, that he was not slaughtered for apostasy but for being a spy of the Americans, and so on...

Medical Professionals File Major Federal Health Care Lawsuit Against Virginia   Jun 05, 2012 06:26 pm

Law Enriches Established Businesses While Limiting Medical Options for Virginians 

Arlington, Va.-Should Virginia be restricting patients' medical options simply to line the pockets of politically connected businesses?  

That is the question posed by a coalition of medical professionals who today joined forces with the Institute for Justice to file a major federal lawsuit demanding that Virginia stop shutting out new medical services for no reason beyond protecting the profit margins of existing businesses.

End of Counterinsurgency and Scalable Force Read more: The End of Counterinsurgency and the ...   Jun 05, 2012 04:49 pm    

The U.S. military for years has debated the utility of counterinsurgency operations. Drawing from a sentiment that harkens back to the Vietnam War, many within the military have long opposed counterinsurgency operations. Others see counterinsurgency as the unavoidable future of U.S. warfare. The debate is between those who believe the purpose of a conventional military force is to defeat another conventional military force and those who believe conventional military conflicts increasingly will be replaced by conflicts more akin to recent counterinsurgency operations. In such conflicts, the purpose of a counterinsurgency is to transform an occupied society in order to undermine the insurgents.

WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that two Secret Service agents who violated the First Amendment rights of Steven Howards are immune from prosecution. As the Christian Science Monitor noted, the court's decision in Reichle "is consistent with a trend at the high court in recent years granting government officials broad immunity from civil lawsuits charging that officials used their government power to violate constitutional rights."

Trend #9: State Abuse of Medicaid Matching Funds   Jun 05, 2012 03:51 pm

When states set aside money to be spent on Medicaid, the federal-state program providing health care to low-income Americans, they receive matching funds from the federal government. These matching funds are made available according to a formula known as the Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAP), based on the state's level of poverty and unemployment. ^[1]

Renewable Energy Subsidies 6.4 Times Greater than Fossil Fuel Subsidies   Jun 05, 2012 10:37 am

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) at the request of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee evaluated federal subsidies received by the various energy industries for fiscal year 2011.[i] The agency found that energy-related subsidies totaled $24 billion, of which $16 billion were spent on renewable energy and energy efficiency and $2.5 billion on fossil fuels in fiscal year 2011. In other words, renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency programs received 6.4 times more subsidies than fossil fuels received. The ethanol industry, which received over $6 billion, was the single largest renewable energy recipient and the wind industry was the second largest renewable energy recipient, according to CBO.[ii]

U.S. brushes off Muslim Brotherhood's anti-Israel rhetoric

By Morton A. Klein

Morton A. Klein

NEW YORK - Following last week's Egyptian first round of voting in the country's presidential election, which has seen the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, Mohamed Mursi, win a plurality of the vote (44%), the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has pointed to continuing, alarming developments in Egypt. The ZOA is urging the US to address these developments, not to ignore or dismiss them, as the State Department spokesman, Victoria Nuland, has been doing.

The ZOA has pointed to a list of negative developments in Egypt, including viciously anti-Israeli and anti-American statements and goals enunciated by the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) leadership even before last year's toppling of the Hosni Mubarak regime:

Michelle Obama's Masters Thesis is flawed throughout

Jun 06, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

 By Suzanne Eovaldi, Staff Writer

    The thesis written by Michelle LaVaughn Robinson (now Obama) in 1985, contains three unmitigated impediments that would have rendered the paper an automatic F in the Introduction to the Research Paper course I taught at a Chicago area community college, yet it was accepted at her Ivy League Princeton University alma mater.

No attribution in the form of formal footnotes and very little author extrapolation are bad enough but using the school's participation in the selection of field sample are unacceptable literary research flaws that would stop the grading  process at page 17.  Robinson states: "With the permission of ___________, the President of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni and his office, the STAFF at the Alumni Records Office ASSISTED the Study BY SELECTING every fourth name on a mailing list of approximately 1,200 names until 400 names were collected!  This removes the paper's author from the third person objective normative ...

JUNE 5, 1967, the Six-Day War began.
Egypt sent 80,000 troops and 900 tanks to attack Israel.
Jordan and Syria, with Soviet weapons, violently shelled Jerusalem and Israeli villages. Cairo radio announced:
"The hour has come in which we shall destroy Israel."
The hot line between Washington and Moscow was used for the first time.
In a surprise move, Israeli Air Force destroyed 400 Egyptian planes, courageously drove Syria from the Golan Heights and captured all of Jerusalem.
In a CBS-TV interview, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion stated:
"In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles."
Seven months after the War, on Jan. 7, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson toasted Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, saying:

The White House is Romney's unless he runs a McCain campaign

Jun 05, 2012 01:00 pm | Coach Collins

by Doug Book,  staff writer

 Forget the rigged polls and the media happy face. Mitt Romney will win the White House in November, probably in a big way, unless he is foolish enough to repeat John McCain's, 2008 display of campaign cowardice.

The 3 ½ year reign of Barack Hussein Obama has been a disaster for taxpayers, most of the business world and the American public in general.

He has waged war on energy producers, threatening the coal industry with destruction, shutting down the drilling of oil and driving natural gas suppliers from the country, all the while wielding the EPA like a sword to wreak havoc on corporations and individuals alike.

He has wasted billions of tax dollars in politically motivated green energy ventures, usually for the purpose of enticing money from-or bailing out-big money contributors to the Democrat Party.

He has created virtually no jobs, unless for members of public employee ... Continue Reading:The White House is Romney's unless he runs a McCain campaign

News from The Hill:

Gov. Walker in line for convention speaking slot
By Josh Lederman

Gov. Scott Walker's (R-Wis.) triumph in a Tuesday recall election has cemented him among the GOP's "bright, shining stars" and put him in line for a primetime speaking slot at the national convention in August, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Wednesday.

"He's got a pretty good advocate here at the RNC," Priebus told The Hill.

Priebus, who was born in Wisconsin and formerly ran the state GOP there, called Walker a close friend and suggested he would be exactly the kind of person the party seeks to highlight at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.

"I'm going to do what's best for winning the presidency, and having a convention with bold leaders and great ideas is something that I intend to do," Priebus said. "Scott Walker is in the category of bright, shining stars with big ideas in this country."

Ethics case against Rep. Waters to proceed
By Jordy Yager

The House Ethics Committee announced on Wednesday that Rep. Maxine Waters' (D-Calif.) rights were not violated in its investigation of her and its case will proceed.

In a letter to Waters, the committee wrote to inform the lawmaker that it had considered the 12 allegations of misconduct her lawyer had presented against the panel and found that none of them was in violation of the House or committee rules.

"The outside counsel has concluded, and the Committee has unanimously found that you have been afforded notice and the opportunity to be heard," wrote Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the panel's acting chairman on the Waters case, and Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), the committee's ranking member.

"As such, there has been no violation of the due process rights to which you are entitled. Even when the allegations are considered in their totality, there is still no violation of the process which you are due, and the Committee is entitled to continue its consideration of your matter," the lawmakers wrote.

For more than two years, the committee has investigated whether Waters violated House rules after allegations surfaced that she secured funding for a bank in which her husband own stock. Waters has maintained her innocence.

The Foundation

"In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate -- look to his character." --Noah Webster

Editorial Exegesis

Scott Walker won his recall with a larger margin than he did when he first won the governorship

"The year-long saga of the Wisconsin recall is, at long last, over, and Scott Walker is still standing. ... Walker's enemies did everything but release the kraken. And yet, he won. ... Walker won because his reform program is popular, and because it is working. ... Walker won because he represented the taxpayer, while his opponent represented the groups whose livelihoods depend on bilking the taxpayer. Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett served as less of an alternative than a vessel for Big Labor's unmoored wrath. ... And, most of all, Scott Walker saved his job by being the adult in the room. While Democrats in Washington seem to be relying on their belief that the United States government is 'too big to fail' to justify a program of taxing and spending our way out of debt, the states don't have such a luxury. And so, across the country, in states red, blue, and purple, they have turned to men like Scott Walker -- and Chris Christie, and Mitch Daniels, and others -- to close structural deficits, stabilize out-of-control spending, and break the death embrace between Big Labor and Big Government. In taking this toxic partnership head on, in a state with a rich progressive history no less, Walker became its biggest target. His enemies spent a year and a half preparing to take their best shot at him. And a combined total of $100 million or so later, they missed. They missed because voters are starting to understand that governing through crisis requires someone willing to make unpopular choices, stand up to entrenched interests, and hold the line against loud and determined opposition. Quite simply, Wisconsin voters realized that if they no longer had Scott Walker, they would have to invent him." --National Review

What message does Tuesday's failed recall election send to Obama?

Upright

"[T]he political left were trying to demonstrate that power and privileges once granted are eternal. They wanted to run Mr. Walker out of Madison as an object lesson that trying to limit collective bargaining and mandatory dues collection for government unions will end your political career. ... Public unions are never going to cede their dominance over taxpayers without a fight. And it's worth recalling how brutally they fought. They occupied the state capital for weeks. They harassed GOP lawmakers and their families, tried to recall state Senators and defeat a conservative Supreme Court judge, while Democratic lawmakers abdicated their legislative duty by fleeing the state. They lost in the end because Mr. Walker and Republicans rode out the storm, passed their reforms, and are now able to show Wisconsin voters the beneficial results. The longer-term impact of Mr. Walker's vindication will depend on the lesson other political leaders take from it." --The Wall Street Journal

"Much of the Political Punditry Class has been touting [Wisconsin] as a preview of the 2012 Presidential election, but now that the Republican won, don't expect to hear too much of that kind of talk. In fact, the ink was barely dry on the headlines when the word went forth that it was actually a good night for Obama because the exit polling showed Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney 51-45. ... An exit poll showing the incumbent President just barely over 50 percent does not a victory make, seems to me. Even at that, the real issue at the national level isn't whether Obama wins Wisconsin in November, the real issue is the highly touted union-backed turnout operation fell short. ... If the Wisconsin operation was a test run, the Obama campaign might need to go back and do some re-sodding." --columnist Rich Galen

"Scott Walker never lacked courage. It took steely determination not to buckle in the face of militant unions who 'occupied' the stately Wisconsin capitol in Madison when Walker's reforms were first voted on. For two years, leftists have been howling. One of their speakers at a get out the (union) vote rally actually compared Scott Walker's reforms to the 9/11 attacks on our country. And this is the crowd that is forever lecturing us on civility." --columnist Ken Blackwell

"Government debt in Greece is 160 percent of gross domestic product. The other percentages of GDP are 120 in Italy, 104 in Ireland and 106 in Portugal. ... Here's the question for us: Is the U.S. moving in a direction toward or away from the troubled EU nations? It turns out that our national debt, which was 35 percent of GDP during the 1970s, is now 106 percent of GDP, a level not seen since World War II's 122 percent. ... I am all too afraid that Benjamin Franklin correctly saw our nation's destiny when he said, 'When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.'" --economist Walter E. Williams

Essential Liberty

"So many people, myself included, almost never drink any full sugar soda. ... So really, what's the big deal [about Mayor Bloomberg's proposed soda ban]? I believe it really is not about the soda. It is about the underlying belief by government regulators that if there is a problem, the government not only should, but has the capacity to fix it. ... [W]hen a government official says something like 'we as a society have to do everything possible to fight obesity,' he sounds reasonable, but when you realize he was really talking about the government, it becomes a bit more troubling. The fact that they use the euphemism suggest that even the heavy-handed regulators know that people don't want the government to be doing things that should be left to society." --National Center for Public Policy Research Senior Fellow Jeff Stier

The Demo-gogues

Pot, meet kettle: "Folks out there are still anxious, they're still scared about the future. And so what the other side is counting on is fear and frustration, that that in and of itself is going to be enough because they sure aren't offering any new ideas. All they're offering is the same old ideas that didn't work then, and won't work now." --Barack Obama

Blame game: "Now, here's the thing, though: We're not where we need to be. We're not there yet. We saw that in [Friday's] jobs report. Yes, a lot of that is attributable to Europe and the cloud that's coming over from the Atlantic, and the whole world economy has been weakened by it. And it's having an impact on us." --Barack Obama

Excuses: "The underlying fundamentals for the economy are actually quite good, and we need to keep that in mind. We're doing in the Congress a whole series of things to actually help stimulate the economy." --Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE)

Still running against George W. Bush: "We are not going back to a set of policies that say you're on your own and that's essentially the theory of the other side. You know, George Romney." --Barack Obama, perhaps confusing his current opponent with his perpetual one, though George Romney was Mitt's father

Rewriting history: "Republicans know that they can't win this election on the merits. Barack Obama, who has been fighting for the middle class and working families, has begun to get this economy turned around -- taken, after three years, an economy that was hemorrhaging 750,000 jobs a month and now we've had 27 straight months of job growth in the private sector, a resurgence in the manufacturing sector. And they know that that is thanks to [Obama's] policies." --DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL)

Civility: "I think the [Republicans'] next act will be dragging women out of patient rooms into the streets and screaming over their bodies as they get dragged out of getting access to women's health care. That's what I feel like is occurring today with the legislation that is on the floor. ... First of all, there is bipartisan and unilateral and unanimous support that we should not have agenda-based abortions for the sake of getting one gender over another. That's a human, humane and humanitarian issue that none of us quarrel with." --Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) opposing a law to ban gender-based abortions

John McCain also lost: "John McCain believed in climate change. John believed in campaign finance reform. He believed in immigration reform. I mean, there were some areas where you saw some overlap. In this election, the Republican Party has moved in a fundamentally different direction." --Barack Obama

Is that a compliment? "I know, literally, Barack and I talk about it. Neither one of us would have had any shot. The same with our wives. Both wives are smarter than both of us. Literally, these very accomplished women would not have any chance without some [government] help." --Joe Biden on the "war on women"

Nanny state: "Is purchasing two 16 oz sodas too much of an inconvenience to help reverse a national health catastrophe?" --New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on his large sugary drink ban

Dezinformatsia

The BIG Lie: "What should be done about the economy? Republicans claim to have the answer: slash spending and cut taxes. What they hope voters won't notice is that that's precisely the policy we've been following the past couple of years. Never mind the Democrat in the White House; for all practical purposes, this is already the economic policy of Republican dreams. ... The fact is that we have already seen the Republican economic future -- and it doesn't work." --New York Times columnist Paul Krugman

What spending cuts? "The U.S. economy added just 69,000 jobs in May, far below economists' expectations. The report suggests that the GOP's deep spending cuts and other austerity measures have undermined growth." --ThinkProgress

Not his fault: "The bleak jobs report on Friday predictably had heads snapping toward the White House, looking to President Obama to do something. Yet his proposed remedies only underscore how much the president, just five months before he faces voters, is at the mercy of actors in Europe, China and Congress whose political interests often conflict with his own." --Jackie Calmes and Nicholas Kulish in the New York Times

That's racist: "[M]aybe [Mitt Romney's] not running for the presidency of the United States, maybe he's running for the presidency of 'Caucasia-stan' or some place that doesn't have anyone of color in it." --MSNBC contributor Karen Hunter

Unhinged: "Scott Walker could very well be indicted in the coming days." --MSNBC's Ed Schultz

America stinks: "[The Star Spangled Banner is] an abomination. ... Are we the only ones who are brave on the planet? I mean all the brave people live here. I mean it's just stupid I think. I'm embarrassed, I'm embarrassed every time I hear it." --radio talk-show host Bill Press

More blame game: "If you look at this jobs report, manufacturing is up, the best record in two decades, largely because of what the president did relative to the auto industry.

Tell Pennsylvania Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey :

Open Jobs Held by Illegal Aliens to Unemployed Pennsylvania Residents

A nationwide poll conducted by Pulse Opinion Research found that practically all groups of Americans favor mandating the E-Verify system, a free tool that will reduce the presence of illegal aliens in Pennsylvania's workforce. The poll, conducted on February 16, 2012, found that 78% of likely voters favor the use of mandatory worker verification, which will open up more Pennsylvania jobs for unemployed Pennsylvania residents.

It's easy to understand why E-Verify has widespread support in Pennsylvania, especially with tens of thousands of Pennsylvania residents struggling to find a full-time job. E-Verify is the smart and sensible approach to immigration enforcement that many in Pennsylvania have demanded, yet Senators Casey and Toomey have ignored these concerns. Among likely voters who expressed an opinion:

• 94% of Republicans support E-Verify
• 84% of Independents support E-Verify
• 81% of Democrats support E-Verify

Why have Senators Casey and Toomey both failed to support E-Verify? Sens. Casey and Toomey must begin putting Pennsylvania workers before illegal aliens. Supporting E-Verify would be a great place to start. Send this critical message below to Pennsylvania Senators Casey and Toomey today, urging them both to support mandatory E-Verify. This is a completely free service. There is no cost to you.
