Ben Stein's Diary

Now, it's not just that no one bats an eye at the amazing truth that the United States is beaming TV ads all over Pakistan apologizing for a derogatory Internet trailer for a nonexistent movie demeaning the being that Muslims call "The Prophet Mohammed." No one in the MSM even slightly hints that doing the kowtow in the same country that sheltered Osama bin Laden to a group that reveled in, delighted in the terrorism against American civilians and still provides the framework for the terrorist Haqqani network, might be humiliating and an insult to the memory of the great Americans who were murdered just last week in Libya.

No, we just take it in stride that our President and our Secretary of State will apologize to the people who hate us and want us dead. That's not what I am referring to.

I am referring to something worse: Have you noticed that in the past few years, and especially in the past few weeks since the murder of the Ambassador and his guards and colleague in Benghazi (a city that Erwin Rommel loved and whose inhabitants he praised), whenever the New York Times refers to Mohammed, they always call him, without quotation marks, The Prophet Mohammed, as if everyone with any sense understands that OF COURSE Mohammed is The One True Prophet and that it's just understood that Mohammed is The Prophet.

I see this in other news outlets and on TV, too. Sober-looking newsmen and newswomen mention Mohammed as The Prophet Mohammed. No ifs, ands or buts. I hear it on the BBC World Service, too.

Now, if Muslims want to believe that Mohammed is The Prophet, God bless them. Fine and dandy. If anyone wants to believe that, good luck to him or her. But why does our mainstream media here in the USA, an overwhelmingly Christian country, refer to Islam's prophet as "The Prophet"?

Affordable Government and Other Impossibilities  

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog

Affordable is a dangerous word. Loan sharks always advertise their services as affordable. So do all sorts of "Get It Now - Pay Later" businesses. If it's affordable, the cost is often hidden or it's not worth even its affordable cost. Often both. And that's because the easiest people to rip off are the people who can't afford things. They are the ones likely to get it now and then keep paying for it later even years after realizing that they didn't want it in the first place.

 

We are now living in the age of affordable government where we are able to get all sorts of things now while paying for them later. The government is our credit bureau and it is cheerfully borrowing money to pay for all the things that we will owe it for and that it will owe China for and that China will owe whatever economic singularity ends up sucking its economy into a black void.

Nowhere is this clearer than health insurance, which every politician running for every office from dog catcher to supreme emperor of the planet tells us he, she or it are committed to making more affordable.

ObamaCare is a triumph of affordability, turning health care into a national Walmart, offering suppliers a bulk mandatory customer base, including those young people who weren't interested in shelling out the dough for health insurance, in exchange for service adjustments and bulk discounts. Except that health care is not a bulk business and so the discounts don't actually apply. Neither do the savings.

Friday Afternoon Roundup - The Wind from the East 

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog 

 

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

The Yalta Conference briefing book stated that the United States did not favor any Chinese political faction, but only "a broadly representative government which will bring about internal unity, including reconcilement of Kuomintang-Communist differences."

In an echo familiar from countless modern-day speeches about American allies in the Middle East, political reform was touted as the best defense against Communism. And by political reform, Truman meant bringing the Communists into the government for a peaceful and unified China. American aid to the Nationalists was explicitly conditioned on their acceptance of that form of peace and unity.

Political leaders, diplomats and reporters tell us that we should not fear the Muslim Brotherhood, that it is a moderate organization, and that like other political Islamists, it can be our ally in the war against the real extremists. The American people were similarly told that the Chinese Communists were not the bad extreme kind in Moscow. They weren't even real Communists at all, only "red on the outside, white on the inside" types. And then having learned nothing from the fall of China, the same propagandists then began assuring us that the Viet Cong were not true Communists either.

...that's an excerpt from my article, How Democrats Turned China Red and Egypt Green



A FABLE AND A TRUTH 

Veteran PBS Newsman Arrested 

Long-time PBS anchor Jim Lehrer was arrested today after being named as the person responsible for an inflammatory broadcast, which has incited verbal violence and unrest throughout the United States and Europe.

The broadcast, which appeared unexpectedly over many US television stations last Wednesday night, superficially seems to be a debate between US president Barack Obama and an unnamed other person, possibly the president's debate coach John Kerry. However, the incendiary and invidious intent of the presentation soon makes itself obvious.

Christians United for Israel, (CUFI) is the largest pro-Israel organization in the
United States with over 1,000,000 members and one of the leading Christian grassroots   movements in the world.   

Israel's time of need is now. There is a new Hitler in the Middle East - President Ahmadinejad of Iran - who has threatened to wipe out Israel and America and is rapidly acquiring the nuclear technology to make good on his threat. If we learned anything from the Holocaust, it is that when a madman threatens genocide we must take him seriously.   

A new app called "In Obama's own words" is great.  Right now it is only for the iPhone.  If you are wanting for someone to hear something Obama said that really is awful for our country, and he has said a lot, this app is what you need on your iPhone.  It is only $.99.  It is well worth it.  It is him talking and saying these things that other people can hear when you press the play button.  Pass this information on.  The guy who made this is had so many requests to make it for other popular cell phones now.  He is just a great patriot who is a great computer nerd and did this after hundreds of hours of work on it.   

 Florida Family Association's webmaster American Family Online has produced the following remarkable product to protect children and adults from explicit material on cell phones and tablets.

( You can find more information please see http://mobilewebguard.com )

According to our research at AFO, the largest growing group of smart phone users is the 12-17 year old age group.  Unfortunately, also according to research, the largest viewership of pornography from the Internet on smart phones is 12 to 17 year old children.  The impact is catastrophic.  Desensitization, failed relationships, abuse of women are the results, nothing good.

Although there are other so called parental control functions and filtered browser apps available, none give the protection and full functionality of MobileWebGuard.  We are most proud of the intelligent content scanning and the lock down so that it cannot be easily removed or deactivated.  A filter that can easily be removed or bypassed is a placebo and will do more harm than good if a parent thinks the phone is filtered and it is not.

This app works on most Android and Apple (iOS) devices including smart phones and tablets!  These are the fastest growing segments in consumer technology and thus the most exposed to the dark side of the Internet.  For peace of mind online, a parent must insure their child has a protected mobile device.

Yes, it's true: You can support ACT! for America-at no cost to you!     An important message from
Guy Rodgers, Executive Director  

The next time you make an online purchase of almost anything, you could be helping ACT! for America-at no cost to you.

Sound too good to be true? It isn't.

All you have to do is sign up for "iGive"-a program that's been around since 1997.

The concept is as powerful as it is simple.

  And with the holidays just around the corner, you could be helping ACT! for America with every gift you buy!

The concept isn't new. In the mid-1990s many supporters of non-profit organizations signed up with long distance telephone programs where a percentage of their bill was donated to their charity of choice.

But our investigation of iGive has convinced us that this program has an ease of use and sophistication that we find remarkable.

  In other words, every time you make a purchase of merchandise you would buy anyway, you would be financially supporting ACT! for America!

All you have to do is log on below and follow the directions to create your account and download the iGive "button." (Note: downloading the "button" is key).

Get Started Here!

When I was first informed of iGive, I was skeptical. I've seen these ideas come and go. Often, they're too good to be true. Or there are all kinds of glitches and problems.

So I spent hours researching.

I looked at online customer reviews (which were very good). I read all of iGive's fine print, such as Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. I signed up and even emailed two tech support questions to see how good their tech support was.

  As you know from our Patriot Partner program, we're all about encouraging a lot of people to each do a little-to do something. When everyone does a little, together we accomplish a lot.

So consider what could happen.

  What's more, that 1.5% figure might be low. Many of the merchants offer percentage donations that are much higher. One printer inkjet company I looked at offered 13%!

Every merchant website you visit tells you right at the top what percentage of your purchase price will be donated to ACT! for America.

Just think what we could accomplish with an extra $15,000, $50,000 or $75,000 in our fight against radical Islam!

Get Started Here!

  I know there are many people out there who would love to support ACT! for America, or give more than they're giving, but in these tough economic times they simply can't.

Well, here's a way that everyone who believes in our mission can easily support what we're doing-at no cost to them.

It doesn't get any better than that.

The recent assaults at our embassies have been a sobering wake-up call to America. The lesson is that we should be displaying strength to our enemies, not appeasement which only demonstrates our weakness. Without question, the threats of radical Islam to America have increased.

These are just some of the threats Brigitte will discuss:

I am excited to announce that the new, highly acclaimed documentary "The Hope and The Change" will be broadcast on multiple cable and broadcast TV networks  - beginning tomorrow night, Tuesday, September 17th, on HDNet Movies at 7pm ET (click here for information on checking your local listings for the channel and schedule.)

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." 

With those immortal words, our Founding Fathers declared our independence from Great Britain. In doing so, the 56 courageous men who signed the Declaration of Independence pledged to each other "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

Are we today a country that recognizes that level of commitment and sacrifice to the American ideal of liberty?

In Our Sacred Honor, former presidential candidate and Senator Rick Santorum asks this very question. The film presents a journey into our past that explores the meaning of our founding documents, the intentions of the drafters and signers, the origin of our rights, the differences between the French and American revolutions, and the relationship between the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

Through reenactments, interviews with historians, experts, and on-location shooting, viewers are taken back to the time of our founding to better understand the principles of government set forth in America's founding documents and how they enabled us to create the greatest nation in the history of the world.

Buy Our Sacred Honor on DVD right now at our website www.OurSacredHonorMovie.com!

During the presidential campaign, Senator Santorum often quoted the two founding documents that bind our nation together - The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.  Our Sacred Honor goes into great detail about what those sacred documents truly mean and so it is appropriate that we begin the full promotion of this film on Constitution Day. 

Senator Santorum will be appearing on Fox News' Fox and Friends on Monday, September 17th, at about 7:15am ET. Please turn in to hear him speak about this important movie!

This smartly produced documentary walks through the pivotal moments that led to our nation's independence and explains how, out of many, we formed a more perfect union. It was a pleasure making Our Sacred Honor with Senator Santorum, and I know patriots everywhere will enjoy it.

Our Sacred Honor is available right NOW on DVD - be the first to own this compelling historical documentary by ordering TODAY!

Sincerely,

David N. Bossie

Today we are excited to announce that "Occupy Unmasked"  will be made available on Video on Demand (VOD), on the heels of its successful limited theatrical release. "Occupy Unmasked" must be seen to be believed and now you and millions of others will have that opportunity right in your own homes.

"Occupy Unmasked," takes viewers into the Occupy Wall Street camps across 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. Exclusive footage and first-hand 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.

Featuring the late conservative icon Andrew Breitbart, as well as former leftist radicals turned patriotic citizen journalists Brandon Darby, David Horowitz, Pam Keys, Anita MonCrief, Mandy Nagy, and Lee Stranahan, among others, this film delves beneath the surface of the Occupy movement to show its anarchist roots.

Please check your local cable provider to see if "Occupy Unmasked" is available on demand on your TV or download and watch the film online.

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.

I made up the following and have been distributing this to seniors.  This is based on the above article.  

Seniors better wake up to the dangers of Obmacare.

Carlo

From Forbes.com 9/27/2012 by Peter Ferrara

Why Senior Citizens Should Prefer Ryan's Medicare Plan to Obama's

• "...Obamacare funnels $716 billon out of Medicare to pay for a new entitlement we didn't ask for..."
• "...Medicare's Chief Actuary Rick Foster reports that by the end of this decade, Medicare will be paying less to doctors and hospitals for health care for seniors than Medicaid pays for health care for the poor..."
• "...Under Obamacare, soon enough seniors will be lined up behind welfare mothers in trying to find doctors who will see them, and hospitals that will admit them..."
• Because of the cuts "...In a few short years, hospitals that serve seniors in particular will begin closing, and retirees will have increasing difficulty obtaining access to care..."
• "...And this does not even count any further cuts that may be adopted by Obamacare's Medicare death panel, the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). That Board will be composed of 15 unelected, appointed, Washington bureaucrats with the power to adopt still more Medicare cuts that would become effective even without the approval of Congress..."

There is only one way to stop Obamacare and preserve Medicare for seniors :

VOTE OBAMA OUT and ROMNEY IN

What a difference a day makes! This Tuesday, on a wet and cold rainy morning, 500 amazing patriots filled the Rotunda in Harrisburg to take a stand and tell Governor Corbett: "HANDS OFF MY HEALTHCARE"!

Joining them were AFP's CEO Tim Phillips and the one and only Michelle Malkin. Our Director of New Media, Katy Abram, and I asked Michelle to come support us in our fight to have Governor Corbett take a stand against Obamacare and refuse to implement the exchanges. And she was HUGELY impressed by our turnout, enthusiam and deep understanding of the issues!

But my favorite part of the day was when a local TV reporter came up to me in the middle of the rally and said, "Man, it looks like Wisconsin in here"! It sure did! Except we were on the RIGHT SIDE, the PRINCIPLED side the side of FREEDOM!

Congratulations to all of you! What a stand and showing you made! I was told by one Harrisburg insider that they have NEVER seen a showing like that from the RIGHT before. I told them it may be the first time but it won't be the last!

It is more important than ever we stand strong. When I took over as State Director at AFP I made a vow that I would NEVER ask activists to leave their families behind and take a day off of work unless it was part of a larger strategic vision and 100% necessary to advance the cause of freedom.

On Tuesday, October 2nd, it was a moment in time. A moment when we had the chance to deliver a message to our Governor that he was not hearing: we do NOT want the Obamacare exchanges. We DO NOT want them. There is one way to protect the state from those exchanges and that is this: The Governor must tell the federal government the state will NOT set up the exchange and if the federal government wants to have it they must come to Pennsylvania and set it up themselves.

Every center-right free market organization in America is backing this plan. Governors Scott Walker, Nikki Haley, Bobby Jindal, Rob Portman, Rick Scott and others have joined with AFP to tell the federal government that their state WILL NOT be part of this plan. The federal government does not have the money and manpower to go into states and implement this law. If Governor Corbett stands strong, he will help collapse this terrible law onto itself and force those in power, regardless of their political party, to defund and repeal it. Elections will not save us...only action from bold leaders will.

That is why we are thanking Rep. Scott Perry for introducing House Bill 2655 (http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/billinfo/billinfo.cfm?syear=2011&sind=0&body=H&type=B&BN=2655) to block the Governor from implementing the exchanges. To give you more of an insight into the bill and why it is the right thing to do right now, you can click here (http://americansforprosperity.org/pennsylvania/legislativealerts/obamas-health-care-exchanges-myth-versus-reality/) for a fact sheet on it.

As I said, the rally was one part of our larger strategic vision to stop Obamacare. So let's keep rolling! The next action I need is for you to send out the below action alert to your Representative:

(http://www.kintera.org/c.6oJCLRPAJhJUG/b.6646115/k.8B5D/Action_Center/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=6oJCLRPAJhJUG&b=6646115&aid=518914)

Let's thank the wonderful Representatives like Scott Perry for standing strong with us and sponsoring this bill and ask the ones who are not to JOIN US IN THIS EPIC BATTLE.

500 people on a rainy, Tuesday afternoon to defend the cause of liberty. My friend, that's a #WIN!

In Liberty and Solidarity,

Jennifer Stefano

Email Shows State Department Rejecting Request of Security Team at US Embassy in Libya

(Image Credit: Ibrahim Alaguri/AP Photo)

ABC News has obtained an internal State Department email from May 3, 2012, indicating that the State Department denied a request from the security team at the Embassy of Libya to retain a DC-3 airplane in the country to better conduct their duties.

 

Copied on the email was U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in a terrorist attack on the diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, Sept. 11, 2012, along with three other Americans. That attack has prompted questions about whether the diplomatic personnel in that country were provided with adequate security support.

No one has yet to argue that the DC-3 would have definitively made a difference for the four Americans killed that night. The security team in question, after all, left Libya in August.

 

But the question - both for the State Department, which is conducting an internal investigation, and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is holding hearings next week - is whether officials in Washington, D.C., specifically at the State Department, were as aware as they should have been about the deteriorating security situation in Libya, and whether officials were doing everything they could to protect Americans in that country.

Investigation Finds Obama Financing Mosques Worldwide With U.S. Taxpayer Dollars  

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A Channel 2 Action News investigation found that the State Department is sending millions of dollars to save mosques overseas. This investment has received criticism as the United States makes an effort to slash nearly $4 trillion in government spending.Plenty of outrage following the announcement made Thursday afternoon by a government commission that suggested huge cuts to the budget, including eliminating the interest deducation for home mortgage. This juxtaposed with the United States investing millions to refurbish mosques as a good-will effort in Muslim countries has upset many taxpayer groups.

"We are spending money we don't have. This is all on a gigantic credit card right now," said Jared Thomas, a taxpayer advocate.

Millions more dollars have been sent to places like Cyprus. The State Department displays before and after pictures of mosques refurbished with U.S. tax dollars.

Obama's Debate Debacle

"[T]here is a degree of depravity in mankind which requires a certain degree of circumspection and distrust." --James Madison

Just keep looking down

If you were among the 67 million Americans who tuned in to Wednesday night's presidential debate, you saw Barack Obama utterly outmatched by Mitt Romney in such dramatic fashion that Obama's Leftmedia sycophants could only wail and gnash their teeth. The irony is that the media had a hand in his defeat.

Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto several years ago devised a theory that the Leftmedia so pamper leftist politicians that they are unable to defend themselves when presented with a strong conservative argument from a determined opponent. Certainly we saw the "Taranto Principle" in effect Wednesday, as Obama could do little to deflect Romney's rhetorical blows other than simply repeat his feeble demagoguery.

 

The debate began with the economy. Obama has a demonstrably abysmal record on this subject, so he had to start where he always starts -- by blaming Bush: "[F]our years ago we went through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression." Though he boasted about creating five million jobs over the last 30 months, he quickly skipped over his own term in office, saying, "[T]he question here tonight is not where we've been, but where we're going."

 

This left the perfect opening for one of Romney's best zinger's of the night. "I'm concerned," Romney said, "that the path that we're on has just been unsuccessful. The president has a view very similar to the view he had when he ran four years ago, that a bigger government, spending more, taxing more, regulating more -- if you will, trickle-down government -- would work." After answering Romney's charge by listing a few of the government programs he had or will set up -- trickle-down government -- Obama spent the rest of the evening smirking grimly and staring down at the podium, which was in stark contrast to Romney, who looked directly at Obama whether he was speaking or listening.

COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY: 32 DAYS TO THE 2012 ELECTIONS -- 86 DAYS TO TAXMAGEDDON


The Obama Economic Miracle

What incredible timing! The unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level in four years -- 7.8%. Apparently what hundreds of billions of stimulus dollars could not accomplish, a fast-approaching Election Day has accomplished.

It was interesting to see the reactions of two very different but wise men. Rick Santelli, who launched the Tea Party with his famous rant, reminded everybody that he had been predicting for months that there would be a miraculous adjustment just in time for the election. "I told you they'd get it under 8%. They did," Santelli said on CNBC this morning.

The other reaction came from Jack Welch, the legendary former chairman of General Electric and very much an establishment man. Welch tweeted, "Unbelievable job numbers... these Chicago guys will do anything... can't debate so change the numbers."

It's not just Santelli and Welch. Financial reporters were also having a hard time with the figures. One news column noted, "The Bureau of Labor Statistics' nonfarm payrolls report presented a slew of contradictory data points." That's an understatement!

So just how many jobs were created last month? Just 114,000. That exceeded economists' expectations by a mere 1,000. They had also expected the unemployment rate to increase to 8.2%. So, somehow, the jobs figure barely exceeds expectations yet the unemployment rate falls dramatically. Governor Romney reminded us this morning that the real unemployment rate is closer to 11%.

Expect more of this, my friends. Soon we will find out that Michelle Obama's healthy meals initiative has raised life expectancy to 105 and Obama's education initiatives have increased the literacy rate to 99%.


Debate Scandal?

A lot of explanations have been offered for Barack Obama's incredibly bad debate performance Wednesday night. Al Gore blamed it on the altitude. One liberal commentator said this morning that the Obama spin team "spun out" trying to come up with excuses.

But the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard may have one of the more plausible explanations: Obama was distracted by a brewing donation scandal that his campaign is trying to suppress.

Obama's campaign reported a record fundraising haul last month: $150 million. As always, much of Obama's money came in small donations. While that may seem like a good thing, showing lots of grassroots support for a candidate, campaigns are not required to disclose the names of small-dollar donors. Fraud becomes more likely, including the strong possibility of illegal foreign donations.

You may recall that the Obama campaign was blasted in 2008 for this very thing. Just days before the 2008 election, the Washington Post reported that the Obama campaign had "chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions."

According to Bedard, the Obama campaign is doing it again, and the story could break any day now.


Hope For The Future

There are a lot of great videos online. But when I saw this one, Voices Without A Vote, I had to share it with you. These students get it!

Please share this video with friends and family members. Talk to your own children and grandchildren about what is at stake in this election. For their sake, we must win this election!


Stand With Senate Conservatives

Earlier this week I had the privilege of attending an event for Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) hosted by four of his future Senate colleagues -- Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK), Jim DeMint (R-SC), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Jim Inhofe (R-OK). These senators know that Todd Akin is a solid pro-family, pro-life conservative, and they also know that it is unlikely they will be in the majority next year unless Todd Akin wins his race in Missouri.

Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that these four senators have taken a lot of flak for standing with Todd Akin, much of it coming from the GOP's Beltway establishment. Please call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121, ask for Senator DeMint's office and encourage these men for doing the right thing. Then call the National Republican Senatorial Committee at 202-675-6000 and politely, but firmly, encourage them to do the same.
