DHS Source: "It's Going Hot"- Obama False Flag Coming

Infowars.com
Aug 29, 2012

"It's going hot." Those were the ominous opening and closing words from my source inside the Department of Homeland Security in two separate contacts we had within the last 72 hours. Readers to this website and listeners to my radio program know this source as "Rosebud," a source with access to high levels within the DHS administration.

DHS Source: "It's Going Hot"- Obama False Flag Coming!!

Rep. Artur Davis RNC Full Speech 2012, Appeals To IndependentsTo Correct Mistake Of 2008

Former Democratic Alabama Rep. Artur Davis, who introduced President Barack Obama in 2008 at the Democratic Convention in Denver, appeared before the Republicans in Tampa on Monday and fired up the crowd with a powerful speech. He said that he regretted his vote and spoke directly to the nation's independents and Democrats who do not support Obama anymore. "May it be said of this time in our history, 2008 to 2012: mistake corrected," said Davis.

Davis opened by thanking Republicans for letting him addresses their convention as a former Democrat. He slammed President Obama and said that the nation that elected him was blinded by his ability to speak and their hopes that the nation would move forward under his leadership.

He went on to say that he was depressed by how Obama has performed in office. It did not take long before he had the audience eating out of the palm of his hand as he ramped up the rhetoric of a former Obama supporter.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, there are Americans who are listening to this speech right now who hasn't always been with you," said Davis. "To those Democrats and independents whose minds are open to argument, listen closely to the Democratic party that will gather in Charlotte and ask yourself if you hear your voice in the clamor. Ask yourself if these Democrats still speak for you.

"When they say, 'We have a duty to grow government even when we cannot afford it,' does it sound like compassion to you or does it sound like recklessness," Davis continued. "When you hear the party that glorified Occupy Wall Street blast success, when you hear them minimize the genius of the men and women who make jobs out of nothing, is that what you teach your children about work?"

"When they tell you America is this unequal place, where the powerful trample on the powerless, does that sound like the country your children or your spouse risked their lives for in Iraq or Afghanistan," Davis continued. "Do you even recognize the America they are talking about?"

"John Kennedy asked us what we can do for America. This Democratic party asks what can government give you," Davis went on, attacking Obama's changes welfare reform's work requirements. He concluded by expressing his hopes that the nation sends Mitt Romney to the White House next year.

New Campaign launched by former CIA, Special Operations Members to combat leaks and politicization of National Security Info

Kicks Off Nationwide With Release Of Documentary Short Film Titled "Dishonorable Disclosures"

OPSEC Website: http://www.opsecteam.org/

Former CIA and Special Operations members are announcing the creation of OPSEC, a new nationwide public campaign to combat the spike in leaks and politicization of Intelligence and Special Operations missions that threaten their effectiveness and the safety of Americans who conduct them. OPSEC - short for Operational Security, meaning to eliminate or reduce the exploitation of critical information - will begin with the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures," a new documentary short film highlighting the problem from the perspective of those who have served in these critical positions. The film will also serve as the basis for a TV and online advertising effort.

"Intelligence and Special Operations members are angry and frustrated at how our work has been used for political advantage by officials across government, including President Obama himself who bears special responsibility as Commander in Chief," said Scott Taylor, chairman of OPSEC and a former Navy SEAL. "We want the American people to understand the cost of these leaks and politicization both on those who serve and on our national security and to hold those in positions of leadership accountable if it doesn't stop."

OPSEC is made up of individuals who served their country in the CIA, and Special Operations Forces (SOF) consisting of Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, Marine Corps and Air Force Special Operations. It is organized as a 501(c)(4) nonpartisan public education campaign and is independent of any political party or campaign organization.

The campaign will begin with the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures," a documentary short film that views the impact of the increasing number of leaks on Intelligence and Special Operations missions, tradecraft, tactics and capabilities from the perspective of those who have relied on these tools to carryout similar missions and protect themselves and those they served alongside. The film will be shown at events in key states across the country over the next several months, including Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina and Nevada. "Dishonorable Disclosures" can be seen here.

"Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk," said Fred Rustmann, an OPSEC member and 24-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency. "OPSEC will carry a strong message across the country that it's time for President Obama and other administration officials to stop jeopardizing national security operations for political gain."

More information about OPSEC and news about the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures" can be found at http://www.opsecteam.org/.

Dishonorable Disclosures

Former Special Ops officers from four separate branches of the military have joined ranks for one specific purpose - to remove Barack Obama from office.

And now they need your help to do it.

Dear Fellow American,

During World War II, they had a poster up in every defense plant and military base in America.

It didn't mince words; it told it straight --

"Loose lips sink ships."

Well, now our nation is saddled with a Commander in Chief who just doesn't seem to get that message. Or, if he does, he simply doesn't care.

Let me lay it on the line: Barack Obama's loose lips are doing worse than sinking ships - they're putting our entire nation at risk.

And if you and I don't get this man out of office, he's going to destroy our military, undermine every ally we have, and arm our enemies to the teeth.

All for his own sorry political purposes.

That's why I am asking you to join me now in helping the Special Operations Speaks (SOS) PAC launch a nationwide campaign to remove Barack Obama from office. Before it's too late.

Demand Congress Hold the Obama 'Leakers' Accountable

http://specialoperationsspeaks.com/petition/petition-ptec

Now, I'm going to give it to you straight. Because after 27 years as a Navy SEAL officer - including serving as Commanding Officer of Naval Special Warfare Center, where our proud Navy SEALS train - I don't know any other way.

And, I think you deserve to know the truth.

Barack Obama has waged war on America's military from the day he took office.

He's already cut our defense budget so deeply that his own Secretary of Defense called it "devastating" to our national security. And the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warned that because of Obama's cuts, "we would no longer be a global power."

Yet, while he is out gutting our military and yanking the guns from our troops' hands, he is also taking credit for every move our brave soldiers make.

All for political gain - even when it puts their lives at high risk.

Frankly, as a 27-year SEAL officer, that makes me angry. And I have a feeling it does you, too.

And that's why SOS needs your help now to bring the Obama travesty to an end.

A little over a year ago, when SEAL Team 6 took out Osama bin Laden, Barack Obama couldn't wait to scurry before the cameras and take full credit.

I'm sure you remember that sorry spectacle. His whole speech was "I" ..."I" ... "I" ... "I" ... "I."

As if he were the one who led the raid. As if he were the one who risked his life. As if he were the one covering his buddies' backs as they fought their way into that compound and back out.

Well, I can assure you that Barack Obama was not there. Those brave soldiers didn't need him. And they wouldn't have wanted him.

And there's something else they wouldn't have wanted either - Barack Obama blowing their cover the way he did.

Demand Congress Hold the Obama 'Leakers' Accountable

http://specialoperationsspeaks.com/petition/petition-ptec

Barack Obama's loose lips took away the vital secrecy Navy SEALS need to continue their undercover missions.

And because he rushed to get in front of the cameras before the SEALS could even analyze the materials they had recovered, he also destroyed any chance for an effective follow-up.

All because Barack Obama wanted to make himself look tough - at the shameless expense of those who actually are.

Now, a year later, we find out that while Obama was out front blowing military secrets, his staff was behind the scenes doing the same.

His Administration's backroom release of top secret documents to The New York Times has jeopardized covert operations worldwide. All for the cheapest of political purposes.

And it's time you and I put a stop to it.

That's why I am asking you now to help SOS expose the full truth about Barack Obama's war on America's military - and his administration's continuing, deliberate release of top secret security documents.

I want you to know that every one of the men and women who has joined me to organize Special Operations Speaks is a former member of our nation's Special Forces. Some are SEALS, some are Rangers, some are Air Commandos and some are Green Berets. The rest belong to other Special Ops units.

So, we know what happens when the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines we have trained and served with have their cover blown, their tactics revealed, and their operations compromised.

Let's just say, when that happens, Barack Obama's loose lips don't just sink ships - they cost lives. The sacred lives of the best and the brightest.

The mainstream media, as I'm sure you've seen, is doing all that it can to follow Barack Obama's campaign script and portray him as some sort of brave warrior.

Day after day they ignore or cover up his "devastating" defense cuts, his phony chest-pounding, and his deadly revelations of America's top secrets.

And, unfortunately, millions and millions of Americans are not being told the truth.

That's why my fellow former Special Operations officers and NCO's and I have, in essence, come out of retirement one more time to strap on the gear and fulfill our oaths.

Demand Congress Hold the Obama 'Leakers' Accountable

http://specialoperationsspeaks.com/petition/petition-ptec

We are already working with key Senate and House leaders to demand full congressional hearings into the Obama intelligence leaks.

And we're prepared to launch a nationwide media blitz - TV ads, radio ads, news releases, and personal appearances throughout the country - to make sure the American people learn the full truth about Barack Obama's war on America's military.

I can promise you: We won't rest until the job is done. That's not our way.

But, to do all of this - and more - SOS needs your help today. The truth is, we can't do it without you. You are our back-up. You are our supply line.

So, I urge you, please give as generously as you can to help launch the Special Operations Speaks campaign.

Your gift of $25, $50, $100 - or more if you possibly can - will help assure that my fellow special operators and I can cover the backs of America's troops worldwide as they fight for our freedom.

And, together, you and I can help make sure we once again have a President who puts liberty before loose lips and our nation's welfare before political gain.

I can't wait to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Larry Bailey, CAPT (SEAL), USN (Ret.)

PS: Like most Navy officers, the date of June 15, 1985, is seared in my memory. That's the date Islamic terrorists hijacked TWA Flight 847 and brutally tortured Navy Seabee Robert Stethem to death. All he had to do was scream out for mercy, and he would have been allowed to live. But he refused to utter a sound.

The pilot of Flight 847 later said, "He was the bravest man I've ever seen in my life."

Bob Stethem's brother was a Navy SEAL; I know him. So, I know something of the stuff of which he was made. Warriors like him don't scream out, they don't beg for mercy, and they don't ask for help.

And that's why my fellow former Special Operations officers and I are asking for your help on their behalf today.

In 2008, when he was running for president, Barack Obama promised his leftwing supporters that if they helped him get elected, "I will slow the development of future combat systems."

That's one of the only campaign promises he has kept. And it has placed our brave warriors in harm's way.

Your gift of $25, $50, $100 - even $1,000 or more if you can possibly spare it - will help our Special Operations Speaks PAC bring an end to Barack Obama's war on the military. So, I urge you, please give as generously as you can.

White House Watch

Please give your attention to this important announcement from the Senate Conservatives Fund. From time to time, we send you content on behalf of third parties we believe may be of interest to you and we believe this one deserves your attention.

Fellow Conservatives:

If you want to stop the massive growth of our federal government and save America's future, we must change the United States Senate.

Harry Reid and the Democrats control the Senate today and, unfortunately, we still have too many Republicans who lack the courage to fight for our nation's founding principles.

As a Senator who works each day to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying our country, I can tell you that we desperately need conservative reinforcements.

This is why I founded the Senate Conservatives Fund back in 2008 and it's why SCF is working so hard today to elect a new group of leaders in 2012 who will fight to turn this country around.

Will you help change the Senate?

The Senate Conservatives Fund has endorsed eight conservative candidates who will help strip Harry Reid of control of the Senate and fight the liberal policies that are bankrupting our country.

Josh Mandel Ohio

Jeff Flake Arizona

Richard Mourdock Indiana

Ted Cruz Texas

Deb Fischer Nebraska

George Allen Virginia

Tom Smith Pennsylvania

Dan Bongino Maryland

These eight candidates are unique in that they have conservative records, have earned support from the grassroots in their states, and have the courage to stand up for our values -- even if it means going against their own party's leadership.

These candidates support all of SCF's policy goals, including:

Cutting spending to balance the budget
Repealing Obamacare entirely
Securing the borders and oppose amnesty
Stopping corporate bailouts
Banning earmarks
Establishing term limits
Defending the 2nd Amendment
Protecting human life

The Senate Conservatives Fund is doing two important things to help its endorsed candidates win in November.

First, SCF is raising money for each of the candidates from donors all across the nation. Money alone does not win elections, but the lack of money can certainly lose them.

Second, SCF is running powerful TV and radio ads to counter the opposition and drive home our side's message of economic freedom and prosperity.

So if you want to do something really meaningful and effective to save our country, please support the Senate Conservatives Fund and its endorsed candidates TODAY.

Help Change the Senate ...

SCF makes it possible for you to donate directly to its eight endorsed candidates so they receive 100% of your donations.

This is a very unique approach for a third-party group and it shows exactly how committed SCF is to helping these candidates. It's also why the POLITICO newspaper called SCF a "wildly successful small-donor fundraising machine."

These are exceptional candidates who have overcome long odds to get this far, and now they urgently need your help to win in November.

Time is running out and we must work together to send true conservative leaders to Washington this year.

Thank you for doing what you can to help turn this country around.

Sincerely,

Jim DeMint
United States Senator

P.S. If we're going to save America, we must fire Harry Reid and change the United States Senate. Without a conservative Senate, we'll never stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying this great country.

Sept. 11, 2012: Come to Pamela Geller's Free Speech SION event at the UN Plaza in New York City

If you're anywhere near New York on 9/11, check out this invitation to attend Pamela Geller's FREE SPEECH event

SION to Hold International Congress and Media Workshop to Address Islamic Supremacist War Against Free Speech

The world's leading forces for freedom will be there. There is a suggested contribution of $36 per person. Register now, space is limited. September 11, 2012, UN Plaza Millenium Hotel, 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm.

Email: PamelaGeller@gmail.com to register.

NEW YORK: The first session of the International Freedom Defense Congress, the operating body of the human rights organization Stop Islamization of Nations (SION), will be held in New York on September 11, 2012. The principal focus of the Congress will be a media workshop pertaining to Islamic supremacist attempts to restrict the freedom of speech in the free world, and the smear campaigns against freedom fighters in newspapers and media institutions in the West.

"The objective of this first-of-its-kind workshop is to develop media-related mechanisms to address the smear campaigns," SION said in a statement. It will also address the media's double standard regarding Islam and other religions, as epitomized in March 2012 by the New York Times' running of an anti-Catholic smear ad and rejection of a SION ad telling the truth about Islamic jihad.

It said the workshop will discuss at length the reasons behind and the results of the Western media's offensive campaigns against freedom of speech and the truth about Islam, jihad, Islamic supremacism and Muslims, which it added still occur from time to time.

"The workshop will represent a quantum leap in media action, as it discusses, beyond rhetoric, the practical steps to address the phenomenon of the Islamic war against free speech," SION President Pamela Geller said. Fighting Back in the War on Free Speech Pamela Geller, March 18, 2012

Freedom fighters from all over the globe, journalists, intellectuals and academicians will be among the participants in the workshop, which will consist of brainstorming sessions to develop mechanisms for cooperation with external partners, and to develop an action plan to address the phenomenon of the Islamic war against free speech.

The organization noted that the workshop is of particular importance as it is the first ever to address the implications of Resolution 16/18 of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the stated goal of which is to "combat intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatisation of, discrimination, incitement to violence, and violence against persons based on religion or belief," but which is actually designed to restrict truthful speech about Islamic supremacism and jihad, so as to render the West mute and defenseless before the advancing threat of jihad and Sharia.

Resolution 16/18, which was adopted by the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva in March 2011, was backed by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the most recent Istanbul Process Conference in Washington in December.

This is widely viewed as a significant step toward furthering OIC efforts to destroy the freedom of speech and impose Sharia blasphemy laws on the free world.

"We are holding this Congress on the eleventh anniversary of the day jihad came to America in order to strike a blow for freedom," Geller said.

SION President Geller is the author of Stop Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance (WND Books) and The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War On America (Simon & Schuster). SION Vice President is the acclaimed author and Islam expert, Robert Spencer, author of the New York Times bestsellers, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad (both Regnery).

The SION Board of Advisers also includes Oskar Freysinger, a Swiss Parliamentarian and member of the Swiss People's Party (SVP), who won international renown for his leadership of the successful campaign against the construction of minarets in Switzerland; Cliff Kincaid, editor of Accuracy in Media (AIM) and a leader of the struggle to keep the jihadist propaganda network Al-Jazeera off American airwaves; Dr. Ashraf Rameleh, President of Voice of the Copts, an international organization standing up for the human rights of Coptic Christians and all religious minorities against religious bigotry and intolerance; Dr. Ali Sina, the renowned ex-Muslim author and founder of FaithFreedom.org; Dr. Wafa Sultan, the ex-Muslim human rights activist and author; the German pro-freedom activist Stefan Herre of Politically Incorrect; the Israeli author Dr. Mordechai Kedar; the Hindu human rights activist Babu Suseelan; Anders Gravers of Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE); and Canadian publisher and free speech defender Ezra Levant.

Speakers at SION's International Freedom Defense Congress will include Kedar, Rameleh, Sina, Kincaid, and Gravers, as well as Danish free speech advocate Lars Hedegaard; Italian human rights activists Magdi Christiano Allam and Valentina Colombo; English politician and freedom fighter Paul Weston; and renowned Muhammad cartoonist Lars Vilks. More speakers will be announced shortly.

SION stands for:

-- The freedom of speech - as opposed to Islamic prohibitions of

"blasphemy" and "slander," which are used effectively to quash

honest discussion of jihad and Islamic supremacism;

-- The freedom of conscience - as opposed to the Islamic death

penalty for apostasy;

-- The equality of rights of all people before the law - as

opposed to Sharia's institutionalized discrimination against

women and non-Muslims.

In Doylestown. Sandy's group will be selling roses for donations to Crisis Pregnancy Care Centers which offer alternative options to abortion. Along with selling roses to people coming and going to the Festival, there will be a couple of well constructed pieces of literature to distribute pertaining to 1st Amendment Religious Rights and where the Presidential Candidates stand on this issue. If any of you would be willing to volunteer for for this important endeavor, please contact Sandy at 215-538-1390 or 267-424-4519. Email is sandy4436@verizon.net.

Act for America

Brigitte Gabriel to Speak
in Vineland, NJ!

Brigitte Gabriel Leading Global Islamic Terrorism Expert

Brigitte Gabriel
CLICK HERE to view Brigitte's special video invitation!

It is my privilege to invite you to a special event featuring Brigitte Gabriel, Founder and President of ACT! for America. This event is free and open to the public and will be held at the following:

Chestnut Assembly of God
2554 E. Chestnut Ave.
Vineland, NJ 08360 Thursday, September 27^th at 7 pm

Ms. Gabriel will speak on the rise of Islamic radicalism in your community and in our nation. Her story of survival as a persecuted Christian living in a bomb shelter for 7 years will have you captivated and inspired! She will share how the events of 9/11 compelled her to start ACT! for America, the largest national security grassroots organization in the U.S.

The events over the past eighteen months have been a sobering wake-up call to America. Without question, the threats radical Islam poses to America have increased.

Brigitte will discuss these threats to our security and our freedoms, such as...

The growing threat of homegrown jihad, with the number of such jihadist plots skyrocketing over the past two years.
How terrorists are exploiting our porous southern border, often working with drug cartels.
The increasingly militant-and successful-effort by Islamists worldwide to suppress free speech and criminalize any criticism of Islam.
The growing Muslim Brotherhood threat and how Islamic sharia law is creeping into America.
How the history and doctrines of Islam are being misrepresented in public school textbooks and classrooms.

For a taste of what is in store for you, check out Brigitte's speech at one of our recent events:

http://www.tennessean.com/VideoNetwork/1271237687001/ACT-for-America-founder-speaks-at-anti-Shariah-conference-in-Nashville

You will hear first-hand how ACT! for America is successfully rolling back the tide of radical Islam...how we are winning legislative victories...how we don't have to live in fear or resign ourselves to the inevitability of the threats arrayed against us...and how we will prevail.

I encourage you to forward this email to everyone you know. They may forward it to someone they know who may not only attend, but will invite others to come! We are sending this email to our members in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland because we know from prior experience, that many people are not only willing to travel to hear Brigitte speak, but are willing to bring others with them.

I know those of you who have heard Brigitte will agree-you don't want to miss this! It will be an event people will be talking about for a long time to come!

Invite your friends and come join us in Vineland, NJ! We look forward to seeing you on September 27^th.

Yours for a Safe and Free America,

A Brief History & Description of Agenda 21

By Kelly OConnell

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

insert picture Whether there is such a thing as a world plan for socialist domination must be answered by individuals pondering recent, sometimes strange confluences of world events. But if there were such a plan, would it appear in any clearer form that the United Nations Agenda 21 program?

Agenda 21 is a plank of UN policy encouraging the globe to embrace Sustainable Development, which conservatives understand as a code word for global Marxism:

Sustainable development sounds like a nice idea, right? It sounds nice, until you scratch the surface and find that Agenda 21 and sustainable development are really cloaked plans to impose the tenets of social justice/socialism on the world. At risk from Agenda 21; Private property ownership; Single-family homes; Private car ownership and individual travel choices; and Privately owned farms.

Agenda 21 remains to many, classic Marxism which must be rejected-as the Alabama legislature did recently.

I. Evolution of Agenda 21: Journey to Sustainable Development

The following is a brief evolution of Agenda 21, the UN program designed to help save the planet.

A. Ramsar Convention (1971)

According to the site for ANPED, the Northern Alliance for Sustainability, there were a number of International Environmental Agreements (IEA's) which came before Agenda 21. Of the 1131 listed Agreements and Modifications, ANPED singles out a handful as significant before Agenda 21, starting with the 1971 Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as Waterfowl Habitat). Another site, Texans Against Agenda 21, also states that the seed agreement for Agenda 21 was Ramsar:

SMART METER ALERT!

Dear Patriots,

Peco has stopped installing Smart Meters which are part of UN Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development). If you have had a Smart Meter installed on your home, you should immediately call Peco and tell them to remove it. These fires have been reported in other states after the meters were installed.

http://www.myfoxphilly.com/story/19289039/peco-halts-smart-meter-installation-program#.UCxNmtghRs1.facebook

For those that have already had the Smart Meter installed on their home, Peco will return, test the meter, and place a warning sign on the meter with a device that should a fire start, the meter will shut off. New reports are that Peco has switched overnight to another provider for these meters, assuring the public that these will be safe. Are we to trust this company, the same one that put fire hazards on 186,000 homes in PA?

Now is the time to act! The ball is in our court. I will be trying to go up to Harrisburg in September to push to get legislation out of committee. Maybe we are being given time to stop part of UN agenda 21.

Call PECO and tell them no to the "new technology" meters.

Thank you.

I commit to be a part of the global Tea Party movement the week of Restoring Love: FreePac &Constitutional Conference
I want to join a team - 9/12 Project, FreedomWorks, or a local Tea Party

Last night, Glenn focused on the importance of commitment. He was the first to admit, a lot of last night's show was something you had heard before - but it's important to start at the beginning and to make sure you know what you believe before you get put into action. And tonight, Glenn revealed ways for you to really get moving!

Tonight, the focus of the show was "Activate" - and it was all about the election and how you can make sure that one way or another - 2012 is a year for a mandate for or against the progressives. And if you think it doesn't matter just take a look at what is happening right now in Wisconsin. Progressives and unions are doing everything they can to make sure that Walker loses. It's a microcosm to what is happening around the country, and Glenn thought it was so important that he recapped it on tonight's show (in under three minutes!):

Dear Friends,

We have 68 days left to stop the American Nation from becoming the Obama Nation.

If we give this president four more years, he will finish the job of remolding America into a hard-core keynesian state resembling some of the most economically dependent

nations in Europe--in particular--Greece and Spain.

We do not have to travel down this road. We can change the course. You can help steer America in the right direction.

If you want an America where free enterprise is respected and ObamaCare is repealed,

and not the other way, stay in the area this summer & fall . Volunteer at Republican Victory Centers.

Attend local events promoting our region's Republican Congressional candidates--including our tri-state Republican US Senate candidates--Tom Smith (PA), Joe Kyrillas (NJ), and Kevin Wade (DE).

Today I am proud to announce the launch of a groundbreaking documentary that will rattle the political establishment. Citizens United Productions' newest film "The Hope and The Change" examines the surprising journey of forty Americans - Democrats and Independents - who supported and voted for President Obama four years ago.

The powerful voices in "The Hope and The Change" will resonate with many citizens across the country who are disillusioned with the Presidency of Barack Obama. This persuasive documentary will change many minds and get people off the fence and into the game.

That is why it is so important for as many people as possible to see it. The film will premiere during the RNC in Tampa next Tuesday (please register for free tickets NOW at www.CitizensUnited.org/RNC) and is set for a limited theatrical release in September.

The good news is that you can also be the first to order the film on DVD TODAY!

This 60 minute documentary follows the daily lives of hard-working Democrats and Independents through unscripted and unrehearsed interviews. Viewers will see how their nation's economy and society has changed over the past four years under the policies of President Obama.

The diverse cast of "The Hope and The Change" encompasses a broad cross-section of America's racial and socio-economic spectrum who come from seven swing states that experts say will decide the 2012 presidential election. Writer/Director Stephen K. Bannon and I traveled to Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to search out these authentic American stories from citizens who have lost faith in their President.

President Obama campaigned in 2008 on "Hope" and "Change" but these stories reflect the sentiment across America that the country has changed for the worse. The voices of everyday Americans in this film will have a major impact on the debates that are currently raging across America.

"The Hope and The Change" will be a powerful tool in your arsenal this fall as you discuss the fate of this country with your friends, family, and neighbors. Order it TODAY to watch and send to the people in your life who are undecided and apathetic about this election.

Sincerely,

David N. Bossie
President of Citizens United

P.S. The tapestry of real American voices in 'The Hope and The Change' will resonate with many citizens who are disappointed in the direction of the country. Help us get it into their hands by ORDERING YOUR COPIES TODAY!

I have some very exciting news! Citizens United Productions has just announced an all rights distribution deal for our newest film Occupy Unmasked with Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, owned by Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner. Magnet is giving the film a limited theatrical release with VOD in late September to be followed by the DVD release. I've attached the full press release at the bottom of this email.

While the Liberal establishment and mainstream media portray the Occupy Wall Street movement as organic and nonviolent, Occupy Unmasked reveals the sinister, organized, and highly orchestrated nature of its leaders and their number one goal: Not just to change government, but to destroy it.

Led by hugely influential conservative visionary, the late Andrew Breitbart, Occupy Unmasked delves deep beneath the surface of the Occupy movement to show its dark anarchist roots. Behind the largely naïve students and legitimately concerned citizens looking for answers stand those who advocate the use of violence, black bloc operations, and intimidation as protest tactics - the same tactics they used during the anti-war protests of the 1960's, anti-nuclear weapons protests of the 80's, WTO protests of the 90's, and the IMF protests of recent years.

Former leftists turned patriotic citizen journalists Brandon Darby, David Horowitz, Pam Keys, Anita MonCrief, Mandy Nagy, Lee Stranahan, and others take viewers into the Occupy camps around the country to see first-hand the truth of what is happening and who is at the heart of the movement. Exclusive footage and eyewitness accounts tell the story of the criminal activity and raw brutality in the camps - much of which has not been reported by the mainstream media.

Directed by Stephen K. Bannon (The Undefeated, Generation Zero), Occupy Unmasked is an eye-opening look at a startling movement that could have a dangerous impact on the future of America.

Sincerely,

David N. Bossie

President of Citizens United
Executive Producer of Occupy Unmasked

P.S. We continue to take pre-orders so be the first to own Occupy Unmasked on DVD by purchasing TODAY!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Magnet Releasing to Distribute Andrew Breitbart Doc OCCUPY UNMASKED

New York, August 6, 2012 - The Wagner/Cuban Company's Magnet Releasing announced today an all rights distribution deal for Citizens United Productions' documentary OCCUPY UNMASKED, one of the last projects featuring the late conservative icon Andrew Breitbart. OCCUPY UNMASKED was written and directed by award-winning director Stephen K. Bannon and produced by David N. Bossie. Magnet is giving the film a limited theatrical release day and date with VOD in late September.

"This film is controversial, and that's exactly the reason we want to ensure it can find its audience prior to the November elections," said Mark Cuban, co-owner of Magnet. "I look forward to our partnership with Citizens United Productions and to getting this film out to the masses."

OCCUPY UNMASKED takes viewers into the Occupy Wall Street camps around the country in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Portland, Denver and Oakland for an up-close look at what's happened there and who's at the heart of the movement, documenting criminal activity and raw brutality in the camps - much of which has not been reported by the mainstream media. In addition to Andrew Breitbart, the film features journalists Brandon Darby, David Horowitz, Pam Keys, Anita MonCrief, Mandy Nagy, and Lee Stranahan.

"I am proud to announce that Citizens United Productions is teaming up with Mark Cuban and Magnet to distribute OCCUPY UNMASKED, and elevate the film the Left does not want the American people to see," said Producer David N. Bossie. "This distribution deal will keep the groundbreaking work of the late conservative icon Andrew Breitbart alive for years to come."

"As a dear friend of Andrew's, I could not be more thrilled that this deal got completed and all Americans will have an opportunity to see one of Andrew Breitbart's final pieces of work," said writer/director Stephen K. Bannon. "This film is important because it sheds new light on the myth of the Occupy Wall Street movement. I know audiences across the country will be startled by what we uncovered in this explosive documentary."

When you think of the great presidential debates throughout history, there's Lincoln and Douglas in 1858, Kennedy and Nixon in 1960, and then there is Glenn's new live comedy stage show, Unelectable 2012.

Since Glenn couldn't personally visit every city in America on his Unelectable 2012 tour, he has decided that the final show will be simulcast LIVE in movie theaters all over the country, probably one in your town! Watch Glenn drown in his own sweat while you relax in air conditioning, eating nachos and Milk Duds.

This is an amazingly funny show, the kind of presidential debate that you'll never actually see because Glenn plays a candidate who tells the truth! Joined by the writers and performers of GBTV's sketch comedy show, The B.S. of A., many are saying it could be the funniest show Glenn's ever done, and it ends with an inspiring message that will have you on your feet full of hope. It's a night of fun the whole family can enjoy! With the election season we've got in front of us, this may be the only "funny-on-purpose" thing related to politics for years to come.

The Great Betrayal: Obama's Wars and the War in Iraq

Jul 18th, 2012

Daniel Greenfield's new Freedom Center pamphlet, The Great Betrayal: Obama's Wars and the War in Iraq, is an effort to understand the politics of the "war on terror" which has now reached a final punctuation point with the U.S. decision to speed its withdrawal from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan (where success was once deemed so crucial to national security), and to practice an incoherent form of regime change in Libya while ignoring more serious threats in Syria and Iran.

The war on terror began, Greenfield shows, as an admirable bipartisan commitment soon after the tragedy of 9/11-an effort to transcend party lines not only to punish those who attacked our country but also to interrupt planning for further attacks and try to stop the international spread of the Islamic jihad behind the attacks. But the Democratic Party, with the honorable exception of a few individuals like Richard Gephardt and Joe Lieberman, turned its back on a war soon after authorizing it, and did so at a time when American troops were facing hostile enemy fire.

Although Senate Democrats on the intelligence oversight committee had been granted access to every piece of data available to the White House, they now accused President Bush of tricking them to secure their approval. In fact, their own about-face was entirely dictated by political considerations when a Sixties antiwar activist, Howard Dean, surged ahead in the Democratic primary polls and it appeared for a moment that Americans were on the side of retreat and capitulation.

Although regime change in Iraq had been official U.S. policy since Bill Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, Democratic senators such as John Kerry who only months earlier had supported the war effort now launched demoralizing attacks on the American commander-in-chief and his troops in the field, stigmatizing it as "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." If the truth was the first casualty of their war against the Bush administration, the second casualty was the principle of bi-partisanship that had guided foreign policy debates throughout the Cold War, the principle that "politics stops at the water's edge." Now partisan politics trumped security.

The unrestrained attacks on the Iraq War as illegal and unjustified went largely unanswered by Republicans who failed to call the Democratic saboteurs of the nation's war effort to account or to decry the risk their cynical attacks posed to American servicemen and women on the battlefield. As Greenfield demonstrates, the Democrats' partisanship had consequences not only in Iraq but elsewhere in the region: the paralysis that resulted from their "anti-war" campaign led straight to the destruction of Lebanon and the installation of a terrorist army, Hezbollah, there as a regime within a regime. And it emboldened an overtly Islamofascist regime in Iran not only to supply the IEDs responsible for most of our troop fatalities in Iraq but also to proceed with a nuclear program aimed directly at Israel and the West.

The Great Betrayal shows that Barack Obama's abandonment of Iraq is a betrayal of all the Americans and Iraqis who gave their lives to establish freedom in that country. And the result of his policies in Afghanistan has been as disastrous. While the President presented his rationale for pursuing war there as the pursuit of al-Qaeda, after abandoning his "surge" (which resulted in two thirds of all America's Afghan casualties there and the resurgence of the Taliban allies of al-Qaeda), he blithely prepared for withdrawal as if national objectives had been met.

"Losing our Sons": Documentary looks at domestic Islamic radicalization and jihadization

Charles Jacobs at Americans for Peace and Tolerance announced today the release of a trailer for their upcoming documentary, "Losing Our Sons", featuring Melvin Bledsoe - father of domestic terrorist Carlos Bledsoe aka Abdulhakim Mohamed who gunned down US Army recruiter Pvt. William Long at an Army-Navy recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas in June 2009. Melvin Bledsoe testified at the House Homeland Security Committee hearing earlier this month.

The upcoming documentary discusses how Bledsoe was radicalized by the Muslim Student Association in Tennessee and sent to terrorist training in Yemen with the written recommendation of the imam of a Nashville mosque. It also discusses how the agents of radicalization in the Nashville Muslim community have been aided by collaborators in the establishment media, politics and the so-called "interfaith" community.

Update: Timothy Cardinal Dolan to deliver closing prayer at DNC

Florida Family Association sent out an email alert earlier today which reported: The New York Post reports: "Cardinal sin: Bam blew off DNC blessing." That portion of the email is posted below.

However, the news has changed since Florida Family Association prepared that email alert as follows:
Cardinal Dolan To Deliver Closing Prayer At DNC

Cardinal Timothy Dolan may be fighting the Obama administration over birth control mandates but he is still heading to Charlotte next week to deliver the closing prayer at the Democratic National Convention. The cardinal is performing the same role at the Republican National Convention on Thursday. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan might want to consider swapping his red robe for a blue one next week. He is heading to Charlotte to deliver the closing prayer at the Democratic National Convention. But first, he will be in Tampa to give a benediction at the Republican National Convention.

Florida Family Association tries to present the facts on a timely basis. News tends to change the news. The article at Floridafamily.org has been edited to remove the portion of that article posted below. The above report replaces the below previously issued report.

The New York Post reports: "Cardinal sin: Bam blew off DNC blessing."

WASHINGTON - President Obama turned down a chance to have Timothy Cardinal Dolan deliver a prayer at the Democratic National Convention after Dolan told Democrats he would be "grateful" to deliver a blessing in Charlotte.

"He wanted to make sure that they knew that this was not a partisan act on his part and that he would be just as happy and grateful to accept an invitation from the Democrats as he would to have received one from the Republicans," said Zwilling.

"He has not been contacted by them" since, he added.

A senior Obama campaign official said yesterday that the Democrats would have a "high-ranking" Catholic at the convention, but indicated the arrangements weren't yet final. "I can't announce it because the person hasn't got their plane ticket," said the official.

Hillsdale constituion class

Hillsdale's New FREE Online Course:
The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism

Available to you, your family, your friends,
and all Americans.

Begins September 4, 2012 - Sign Up TODAY!

Dear Linda, In 2012 our Constitution is under assault like never before.

Even as I write, self-described Progressives are working to subvert the Constitution to replace it with an ever more expansive and intrusive bureaucratic despotism.

My name is Larry Arnn and I'm the President of Hillsdale College. You might have heard Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and other conservative radio hosts talk about Hillsdale College.

The ongoing radical Progressive agenda poses a serious threat to the survival of free government in our great nation. At Hillsdale, we believe that a massive, nationwide education project to promote America's founding principles is the only way to defeat this Progressive agenda.

As one of our most loyal supporters, you've been an important part of Hillsdale's effort to educate Americans on the importance of preserving our Constitution.

That's why I want you to be one of the first to know about our brand new online course:

"The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and
the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism."

The first class begins on Tuesday, September 4 and the final one will occur during the week of the national elections in November. I hope you'll sign up immediately.

[Register for this new course right now.]

In this no-cost, ten-week course, you'll learn from members of Hillsdale's politics department faculty - some of the nation's top scholars on the Constitution - about the history of Progressivism and how the movement has slowly chiseled away at our freedoms over the past century.

With Hillsdale's outstanding reputation as a leading academic institution, this course offers you a unique educational experience that you won't be able to get anywhere else.

Earlier this year Hillsdale offered its first online course on the Constitution. And in doing so it made a major impact with more than 275,000 Americans registering for "Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution."
We expect our newest course - The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism - to attract even more attention. And I hope you will be one of the registrants!

Here are the ten lecture topics for the course...

The Progressive Rejection of the Founding
and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism

Why is Hillsdale teaching a course on the Progressive movement?

Americans who believe in constitutional liberty and limited government need to understand what they're up against, so Hillsdale designed this course to teach Americans the history of Progressivism and how it continues to work to ignore and dismantle the U.S. Constitution.

From its intellectual origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, to the massive government expansions under FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society, to the third great expansion of big-government programs during the past three years, Progressives are making our country unrecognizable in comparison to the constitutional republic created by America's Founding Fathers.

To understand fully this attack on limited government constitutionalism, and thus to know what is needed to stem the tide, take Hillsdale's new online Constitution course, which starts on September 4 and concludes the week of the national elections in November.

PLEASE GO HERE TO REGISTER NOW.

AND, like all Hillsdale online courses, it will be archived online so that you can refer back to the lectures or access them at your leisure.

I have the privilege of delivering the first lecture, "The Founders' Constitution and the Challenge of Progressivism," and the final lecture, "Restoring Constitutional Government." All of the classes will be taught by Hillsdale College professors - the top teachers in their field and the same ones who instruct our students here on Hillsdale's campus.

[Go here to see the course's schedule and register]

I am proud, thanks to your past support and the support of many patriotic Americans, that Hillsdale College is teaching hundreds of thousands of Americans about the Constitution and its principles of liberty. This course is crucial for all Americans who want to understand the dangers confronting the Constitution and its principles today. I hope YOU will join us for this important course!

As President of Hillsdale College, I have devoted my life to education, and in particular to teaching about the American founding, its underlying principles, and subsequent constitutional history.

The last chapter in that history, covering the past century, tells a story about how the progressive movement has undermined the Constitution and replaced it with a bureaucratic despotism - if we are to recover the Constitution, that story must be understood.

That is why we are offering this new course, free, to all Americans.

[Please go here to enroll in our new Constitution Course: "The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism" Today]

The more than 275,000 who signed up for our first constitution course last spring prove that Americans are willing and eager to study and defend the Constitution and the principles that made our country the most free and most prosperous in human history!

I hope you will sign up for our new course and help continue this re-awakening of national interest in the Constitution.

Your gift, of whatever amount you can provide, will help make it possible for us to offer this important course on the Constitution to all Americans. And for that I am grateful.

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

RedState Morning Briefing

For August 30, 2012

Do I get to point out what horse shiitake mushrooms it is that the media is declaring Paul Ryan's speech full of half-truths when they rarely do that to Barack Obama's campaign speeches? Seriously, this was a campaign speech of big ideas and the media would denigrate it by screaming that Paul Ryan left out key details when, in fact, they weren't really relevant to the big ideas or themes and some just weren't added because of time. Meanwhile, Barack Obama claims Obamacare will solve our national debt problems and the media goes blind in the bathroom to his flat out lies.

The truth of this election is that it is showing just how in the tank for Obama the vast majority of the media really is. They should be embarrassed, but first they have to get their messiah re-elected.

-- Erick

1. Paul Ryan: Winner

He did what he had to do - convince independent voters that it is okay to like Obama, okay to have voted for Obama, and okay to want to replace Barack Obama. His speech was not for the GOP. His speech was for independents.

Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney know that as the Democrats amp up the negativity, they have to give independents an incentive to keep independents in the race and for them. Paul Ryan succeeded.

Back in 2009, Rush Limbaugh addressed CPAC. The media covered it live, hoping it would damage the GOP. Instead, his off the cuff remarks put the Democrats on defense for months. He made the case that we have to support individuals over the collective, small government over big government, and choice in life (outside of killing kids) over one size fits all mandates.

Republican leaders shied away from those themes until the tea party came along and seized them. GOP leaders still shy away from them. Remember, the weekend Paul Ryan was picked, the GOP leadership was apoplectic that they'd now lose because of Medicare.

Instead, the GOP is now winning on the issue.

2. Why Ron Fournier Proves Mitt Romney Must Beat The Liberal Media, Not Woo Them

When Republicans talk about the liberal press, they should not just remember John Harris at the Politico, but also Ron Fournier of National Journal. If you want to know what the subtle racism of the liberal media looks like, consider Ron Fournier's latest epiphany on how Mitt Romney's welfare attacks on Obama are racist.

It takes one to know one I guess.

3. Is The Media Coordinating On Race Baiting? Ask John Harris and Politico

We should not forget that John Harris of the Politico, who asked the stupidest and most irrelevant questions of any moderator during the GOP Primary debates, is married to the former head of NARAL in Virginia.

We should not forget that Jonathan Allen of the Politico once worked for Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

We should not forget that Andy Barr of the Politico left the Politico to go work for the Democratic National Committee.

We should not forget any of this because I do not believe it is any accident that today the Politico has a big story from John Harris about race in the 2012 election.

GREAT PRESIDENTS.
How come libtard sleaze buckets like JFK and meddling early socialists like Woodrow Wilson and FDR tend to figure so high in the list of great presidents? The truly great presidents are the ones who interfered as little as possible, leaving America's natural capitalist instincts free to pursue prosperity and liberty. It's presidents like Republicans Warren Harding (who got the United States swiftly out of a post-World War I depression) and Calvin Coolidge we should really celebrate: on their watch taxes fell, wages increased, working hours declined, and the United States enjoyed one of its greatest-ever booms. FDR, on the other hand, just made the Great Depression worse.

RJC Runs Ads Critical of Radical Rabbi

Washington, D.C. (August 29, 2012) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition today announced a print ad highlighting "Rabbis for Obama" member Lynn Gottlieb and her radical views. The ad will run nationally in Jewish newspapers next week, with a particular focus on Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Lynn Gottlieb, a rabbi in the Jewish Renewal movement, was among 600 people touted by the Obama campaign as "Rabbis for Obama." That list includes eight members of the left-wing fringe group Jewish Voice for Peace, which the Anti-Defamation League has named one of the "top ten anti-Israel groups." Lynn Gottlieb sits on the board of that group. She was also the first U.S. rabbi to travel to Tehran since the Iranian revolution and has dined with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Rabbi Sam Gordon, co-chair of "Rabbis for Obama," not only refused to remove Lynn Gottlieb from the list but, in fact, came to her defense and accused her critics of "demonizing" her.

RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said, "Anti-Israel activists like Lynn Gottlieb are far outside the mainstream of the Jewish community, yet the Obama campaign touts them as supporters of the President."

Brooks continued, "The Obama campaign remains tone-deaf about the issues that concern American Jewish voters and naming radical anti-Israel rabbis as 'Rabbis for Obama' is one example of this. This is one reason for the strong sense of 'buyer's remorse' we are seeing among Jewish voters who cast their ballots for Barack Obama in 2008. This is why the Republican Party is making inroads in the Jewish community in 2012."

This print ad is part of the RJC's $6.5 million issue advocacy and grassroots outreach effort in 2012, which includes the MyBuyersRemorse.com site, web ads, extensive TV ads, print ads, mail and phone efforts, and a massive two-day grassroots campaign with volunteers on the ground in key communities on September 9-10.

DNC Proceeds With 2-Hour Islamic 'Jumah' Prayers (And You Won't Believe Who's Invited)

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 8:25pm by Erica Ritz

The host committee for the Democratic National Convention is raising a number of eyebrows after choosing to proceed with featuring Islamic "Jumah" prayers for two hours on the Friday of its convention, though Democrats earlier denied a Catholic cardinal's request to say a prayer at the same event.

The event is being promoted on the official Charlottein2012.com page*

Watch the promotional video via the Bureau of Muslim Affairs, which claims it is hosting the event "at the Democratic National Convention."

The first two minutes are rather dry, but around 2:04 a muezzin sings the call to prayer with an American flag background, and the video "picks up" considerably.

Up to 20,000 people are expected to attend the Friday prayers and Jibril Hough, a spokesman for the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), said the purpose of the event is to hold political parties accountable for the issues faced by Muslim-Americans.

In particular, the event will target the Patriot Act, the NYPD, the National Defense Authorization Act, and anti-Shariah sentiment.

Hate crimes are beginning to stack up. But determining what constitutes a "hate crime" is in the eye of the beholder. Actually, it's in the eye of liberals who only see criminal activity when it's leveled at one of their protected classes. Here's the latest insanity. While California has been described as the "land of fruits and nuts," New York is competing to be the fruitiest and nuttiest land of them all.

"Police are investigating an unusual bias crime on Staten Island. Muslims who gathered for prayer to celebrate the end of Ramadan in a city park found bacon scattered on the ground. . . . [B]efore most of the faithful arrived for Morning Prayer, it was discovered that someone had scattered a quantity of raw bacon on the field."

"'This has been determined to be a bias event on the part of our Hate Crimes Task Force,' NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters."

Where were our government officials when artist and photographer Andres Serrano unveiled his "Piss Christ"? It was a photograph of a "small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's 'Awards in the Visual Arts' competition, which is sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects."

What was the response from the art community? Here's one example:

"The art critic Lucy R. Lippard has presented a constructive case for the formal value of Serrano's Piss Christ, which she characterizes as mysterious and beautiful. She writes that the work is 'a darkly beautiful photographic image . . . the small wood and plastic crucifix becomes virtually monumental as it floats, photographically enlarged, in a deep rosy glow that is both ominous and glorious.' Lippard suggests that the formal values of the image can be regarded separately from other meanings."

Secretary Panetta is talking about helping Egypt to do something forbidden by the Camp David Accords -- bring large-scale forces into Sinai. Israel's long term concern is whether Egypt will at some point remove the additional forces. Recent comments by Egyptian government officials suggest they will not.

Egypt has moved forces into the Sinai beyond what was agreed to in the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty. Getting them in wasn't that difficult - Israel agrees that security in the Sinai has deteriorated. Getting them out again later may be another matter. And how the U.S. positions itself to safeguard the treaty itself will be crucial.

Egyptian Tears Up the Quran on Camera

by Nonie Darwish * August 20, 2012

Instead of giving religious visas to Islamists who come to America to preach hate, the US should immediately declare that anyone who leaves Islam and is threatened should get a priority visa to the US. American embassies should, in fact, stop giving religious visas to those who are obviously Islamists: by doing so we are only breeding our own homegrown terrorists inside America.

Could this be the real Arab Spring? The Muslim world does not have to blame Pastor Terry Jones any more for burning the Quran or non-Muslims for desecrating it. They are now in shock over seeing a YouTube post of a young Egyptian man doing the unthinkable on camera: tearing up the Quran and putting it in the trash.

This is the summery translation of what he said:

A Party of Trolls

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog

With the next four years at stake, the only topic of conversation is the Race Card. The left plays the Race Card and then accuses the right of playing the Race Card. There are dogwhistles in the air that only white middle-aged pundits can hear and arguments over whose diverse lineup truly represents the philosophy of the future and whose is just shameless tokenism.

The media madhouse insists that a half-black man who went from the Illinois State Senate to the White House in 5 years is proof that we are a racist country and that Southern Europeans whose ancestors moved to this continent are an oppressed racial minority. Arguing with this insanity is a sure way to get called a racist. Ignoring this insanity means being charged with privilege. Privilege being the ungodly power to ignore someone else's assertion that privilege through victimization should begin and end every single discussion on every topic, up to and including the moon landing.

The Democratic Party and its media affiliates have become a party of trolls who only know how to hijack every discussion with an obsessive insistence that every issue can be boiled down to race and that the difference between the two parties is that one of them is racist and the other has good taste in fonts.

Unelected  Unions: Why Workers Should Be Allowed to Choose Their  Representatives

Unions negotiate workers'  terms of pay, promotion, layoff, and retirement; union members may not bargain  for themselves. However, very few union members voted for this representation.  Once organized, unions remain certified indefinitely: Most union members join as  a condition of employment. At the very least, unions should regularly stand for  re-election. 
 Even better, Congress and state legislatures  should allow workers to choose whether they want union representation, and if  so, who represents them-unionized or not. This would give workers the ability to  negotiate terms that represent their needs, instead of being forced into a  one-size-fits-all contract.

Conflict  Minerals: Another Cost of D0dd-Frank

On Wednesday, the Securities and  Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a little-known section (and there are many) of  the Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill that will end up doing the most harm to  the people in the Congo that it purports to help. 

The Wall Street Reform  and Consumer Protection Act, Title  XV, Section 1502, requires private companies (of any size) to disclose  whether any "conflict minerals" that are necessary to the functionality or  production of a product have "originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo  or an adjoining country."

Obama's 27% support among Catholics presents a huge advantage for Romney

Aug 29, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

1) A new survey of 900 registered Catholic voters holds devastating news for Barack Obama that cannot be overstated. 2) It says the 54% of Catholic voter support he had in 2008 has dwindled to just 27% (MoE +/- 3 points); a historic low level that no one running for president can survive.

This 27% Catholic support for Obama will have important consequences for Obama and his Party in several states with sizable Catholic populations. While some might attempt to belittle this gap by pointing to the fact that only about (3)24% are "adherent Catholics" that argument is defeated by the fact that the survey found that 73% of respondents said they cannot support Obama because of his mandate forcing Catholic institutions to commit abortions and distribute contraceptive devices to their employees. It says that by 3 to 1 self-identified Catholics are angry and insulted by Obama's attempts to dictate ... Continue Reading:Obama's 27% support among Catholics presents a huge advantage for Romney

I have thought that a meeting of your wise men...would be alike useful to you...
I now send my best wishes to the Cherokees and pray the Great Spirit to preserve them."

On May 12, 1779, Washington addressed the Delaware Indian Chiefs at the Middle Brook military encampment:
"Brothers: I am glad you have brought three of the Children of your principal Chiefs to be educated with us...Congress...will look upon them as their own Children."
Washington continued:
"This is a great mark of your confidence and of your desire to preserve the friendship between the Two Nations...and to become One people with your Brethren of the United States...
You do well to wish to learn our ... Continue Reading:American Minute August 29

At the Civil Rights March in Washington, D.C., AUGUST 28, 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., stated:
"I have a dream...where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together."
Martin Luther King continued:
"This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning,
'My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrims' pride,
from every mountainside, let ... Continue Reading:American Minute August 28

Don't believe the polls: Obama's NOT winning any group he lost; NOT doing better with any he won

Aug 28, 2012 02:26 pm | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

Disinformation is a potent weapon. It is the basis of every psychological operation in modern warfare. Psy-ops as these disinformation stunts are called are a collection of the lies told to us every day.

They tell us lies about a "close race" to force us to pay attention to their polls. They show Barack Obama either leading or close behind and sometimes show large 6 or more point swings in the absence of any particular triggering event.

Here are the facts about where the largest and most important voting blocs are in relation to 2008 and today.

There is not a single voting bloc of any size that Obama lost in 2008, but is now leading. There are no blocs that he lost but has cut his 2008 margin of defeat; all are still losses and he is not closing the gap with any of them. There are NO voting blocs, ...

The GOP's Opportunity

August 29, 2012

The Foundation

"[A] wise and frugal government ... shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government." --Thomas Jefferson

Editorial Exegesis

"[I]n Tampa, the Republicans have an opportunity to make stark the contrast between fear and facts, by making their convention -- and the Romney/Ryan candidacy -- about something good. The convention not only needs to give an attractive picture to the country of who Mitt Romney is, and who Republicans are, but also of who conservatives think Americans are and aspire to be. Aspiration is the key. The Democrats have a habit of presenting Americans as passive victims of tragedy in need of government succor. Some people do need government assistance, of course, but most Americans do not see themselves as powerless in the face of forces beyond their control. They have goals and ambitions. They don't need help from the government so much as they need obstacles removed, and institutions reformed so as to facilitate rather than frustrate or threaten their plans. In making the case that America is on the wrong track and in need of new leadership, it will be tempting -- sorely so -- to emphasize the incumbent's failures. But it is crucial that Republicans point out that the obstacles and dysfunctional institutions standing in Americans' way precede Obama, even if he has in some cases made them worse and in others failed to do anything about them. This account will be more plausible for voters than one that implicitly or explicitly blames Obama for everything bad in American life, or that could be read to suggest that rolling back the Obama years (and thus returning to those of you-know-who) would simply fix everything. As much as it is said that the election is a referendum on Obama, the American people will not deliver a mandate to a negation. [This week] in Tampa, Republicans have a singular opportunity to demonstrate what they are for. It should not be wasted." --National Review

Republicans, Torn Apart in Factions?
By L. Brent Bozell III
In Monday's New York Times, longtime political writer Adam Nagourney regurgitated the same old, tired political spin that the Republican Party is too conservative and exclusionary on "social issues" and that their divisive stands will hurt them with "mainstream" voters. The absurdity of this is stunning, considering that on these same "social issues," there is almost no way President Obama can be further out on the other "extreme."

Top 3 Small Business Struggles

Small businesses are getting a lot of focus from politicians, because they are a key engine of job creation-which has stalled in the U.S. economy. A Republican National Convention theme of "We Built It" continued the political debate over the economy yesterday.

A survey by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) in July revealed that small businesses' top three concerns were taxes, regulations, and poor sales. A quick look at these top three small business struggles shows they have every reason to be demoralized.

1. Taxes

Small businesses are under enormous threats from looming tax hikes. President Obama is advocating a tax hike on the country's job creators-the at least 1.2 million small businesses that employ workers and make more than $200,000. Known as flow-through businesses, these entrepreneurs pay their taxes through the individual income tax. A study by Ernst & Young estimates that this tax hike would kill about 710,000 jobs and cause real wages to drop.

This tax hike, however, is just a portion of the Taxmageddon crisis scheduled to hit the country on January 1. The Congressional Budget Office has left little doubt that unless Congress and the President prevent Taxmageddon, the country is headed toward a fresh recession next year.

And Taxmageddon includes only some of Obamacare's 18 new tax hikes, several of which don't kick in until 2014 or later. The tax landscape is truly bleak.

2. Regulations

Heritage's James Gattuso and Diane Katz have documented the sea of new regulations that continue to drown America's businesses. In their detailed report, "Red Tape Rising," they note: "During the first three years of the Obama Administration, 106 new major federal regulations added more than $46 billion per year in new costs for Americans. Hundreds more regulations are winding through the rulemaking pipeline as a consequence of the Dodd-Frank financial-regulation law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency's global warming crusade, threatening to further weaken an anemic economy and job creation."

The cost of these regulations strangles economic growth and job creation.

3. Poor Sales

In an economy with 8.3 percent unemployment, consumers have to cut back. Struggling sales are no mystery. Higher fuel prices are also hurting small businesses, which must make the no-win decision of passing these costs on to consumers or absorbing the costs themselves.

Heritage's Nick Loris explains the impact of fuel costs on the economy : "In a recent poll by the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, 40 percent of small businesses responding said they have had to increase their prices. But that approach has a distinct downside. When consumer demand is already down, passing higher costs on to consumers suppresses demand even further, causing lower output, lower income and higher unemployment."

To all of this, President Obama has said, "We tried our plan-and it worked."

It's not working for small business owners or for nearly 13 million jobless Americans.

Congress and the President need to stop Taxmageddon, open access to our energy resources, and reduce regulations that cost more than the benefits they deliver. America needs jobs, and small businesses need relief.

FEMA Must Act NOW to Save the RNC Convention!

In light of the imminent danger that Hurricane Isaac may not, after all, obliterate the city of Tampa, it is incumbent on us to point out the only reasonable course to take to avert certain disaster.

Media reports continue to reveal the stubbornness of RNC attendees, who are selfishly forcing multitudes of Union members, as well as the suffering exotic entertainers in the Tampa Bay area convention industry, to work under poorly regulated weather conditions. This is not to mention Code Pink protesters, who are required to boycott the Convention in an unsafe environment, as their flabby vagina costumes expose them to the danger of being picked up by the 75mph wind and blown away into the Gulf of Mexico.

Gwen Ifill: Disgraced Yahoo News reporter 'God's gift to political journalism'

The Yahoo News Washington Bureau Chief who was fired today after saying Mitt Romney doesn't care if black people drown is getting support from fellow 'journalists' like Gwen Ifill and Glenn Thrush.

Glenn reacts to the powerful Ann Romney speech

Glenn watched Ann Romney's speech last night and had pretty much all good things to say about how effective it was and how it connected with the American people. Started a little slow and then she was off the charts good. What set it apart - other than the fact she didn't tell people what to eat, what to drive & that she's finally proud of America now that her husband is the nominee? Find out HERE.

Juan Williams smears Ann Romney as a 'corporate wife'

Ann Romney delivered a great speech last night that was universally praised by pundits on both sides. But that didn't stop some from coming up with new and inventive ways to smear her - Juan Williams took that art to a whole new level when he said she sounded like a 'corporate wife' as if anyone knows what that means. Glenn reacts on radio today - WATCH.

"Public schools are like factories trying to push out a product, and I don't want my kids to be products." That's why Julie Huss started Simple Schooling Classroom, which offers several curriculums in the tricky subject of science for home schooled children. Check them out today in The Marketplace.

Rising star? Mia Love

The media all but ignored a fantastic speech from Mia Love, who could be the first ever black Republican congresswoman. She talked about how her parents came to America with $10 to their name but worked hard and became successful - without the help of the federal government. Was this the coming out party for a future GOP star? STORY.

The most powerful three paragraphs: from Neil Armstrong

Glenn also enjoyed Governor Chris Christie's speech last night and felt he did a great job not getting mired in the petty partisan attacks the opposition is engaging in. Instead of focusing on where we've been, he looked ahead - that's what Americans long for. It made Glenn think of a letter written not too long ago by Neil Armstrong, which contains what Glenn called three of the most powerful paragraphs he's ever read. Read them HERE. You can also read the full Armstrong letter HERE.

See Glenn at the movies! The last show of Glenn's comedy tour, Unelectable 2012, will be simulcast live in movie theaters nationwide on Thursday, September 20th.
