2 Obama Voters Invade Home and Kill Unarmed Homeowner
Miami 'Super Dad' dies protecting His daughter, 11 years old, during home invasion from Obama Supporters
Miami, Florida - These 2 Obama voters killed the unarmed man, these 2 lowlife obama supports were trying to get into the room of an 11 year old girl. Yes, that’s right Feinstein and other despicable democrats, these two animals were armed and the middle class Family was not and look who died. The unarmed, legal Resident died and the two vile obama voters continue to destroy families. The Florida Home Insurance does not protect against these animals and vile Holder and Barry soetoro want your guns.
The Middle class are not be able to protect themselves financially from obama’s polices now. If you look at the gun control laws that are being talked about, all stem from nutjobs who will eventually tale all guns. The cowards like eric holder, Dianne Feinstein and barry obamas want to take guns from the Legal Gun owners and allow the obama voters to wreak havoc on America. This poor man was a Hero and he should be remembered that way as he stood up to these two disgusting obama supporters.
This is just one recent report of the illegal gun owners taking over our country while Democrats scream about taking Guns from Legal Gun Owners. Miami Dade County Police say two heavily armed men fatally shot a homeowner, a real hero, as he tried to protect his precious daughter during a home invasion from these two obama supporters, aka disgusting Home Invader.
The incident happened late Tuesday night in Miami., Florida The father, identified as Maurice Harris, 36, got into a struggle with the suspects when they tried to gain entry into his 11-year-old daughter's bedroom, police told FoxNews.com. The father was fatally shot in the struggle.
There were no other reports of injuries. The suspects, aka Obama Voters, aka Home Invasion scumbags, were described as black males.
Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Reyes said it appears the men were trying to rob the home.
"We call these two men beasts. These men are beasts," Reyes told the Miami Herald. "They storm inside the house. A little girl was asleep when she was surprised by the gunfire. The father was just trying to protect her."
Annie Streeter, the victim's mother-in-law, said the men held Harris' wife at gunpoint during the invasion. Relatives said that's when Harris fought back and kept the intruders from entering the room of his 11-year-old daughter.
"One of the guys tried to get to his daughter's room, he jumped up and they were fighting back and forth," Streeter told WSVN.com. "I guess that's when the gun went off."
Neighbors are hailing Harris a hero. "Unfortunately, he died but he's super dad," Terry Jones told the station. "I hope I have that much courage if something like that would've happened to me."

American Female Defense Lawyer Submits to Sharia Law
We see this Coward, Cheryl Bormann, age 52, folding like a cheap wet suit. This Coward Cheryl Bormann decides she is desperate for money and or fame so she represents Terrorists, i.e. Radical Islamic Thugs. This Coward Cheryl Bormann is not a Muslim yet she goes all Sharia law on the United States.
All of the woman who are raped, beaten and killed by Radical Islamic Terrorists through Sharia Law should be shoved in the face of the Coward Cheryl Bormann. This lowlife Cheryl Bormann is a kalbeh [Arabic for dog] and a dhimmi.
What do we expect when the other Cowards Holder and Barry Soetoro bend over backwards for Terrorists? Didn’t Holder’s Law Firm represent Radical Islam Terrorists?
A female defense attorney, who is not Muslim, wore the traditional Islamic hijab to the military court staging the trial of five Guantanamo Bay prisoners accused of the September 11 attacks yesterday.
Coward Cheryl Bormann, 52, who represents Walid bin Attash, said that her client had demanded she wear the clothing and insisted that other women at the hearing also wear 'appropriate' clothes out of respect for his religion.
Today she explained her decision at Guantanamo Bay, saying she always wears the hijab around her client.
She asked that other women follow her example so that the defendants do not have to avert their eyes 'for fear of committing a sin under their faith', according to Fox News.
The lawyer's decision was one of the less controversial moments during Saturday's hearing where at times the accused openly defied the court.
Kahlid Sheik Mohammed cracked after CIA kept him awake for 180 hours STRAIGHT,
Self-proclaimed ‘mastermind’ Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, wearing a turban and white tunic, refused to answer the judge’s questions.
Mohammed had been asked if he was satisfied with his U.S. military and civilian lawyers.
‘I believe he’s deeply concerned about the fairness of the proceeding,’ said his civilian lawyer, David Nevin.
Proceedings were further delayed as one of the defendants, Waleed bin Attash, appeared while being restrained in his chair.
The restraints were later removed after defense counsel had given assurances that he would ‘behave’.
Another defendant, Ramzi Binalshibh, stood up, then knelt on the courtroom floor and prayed for several minutes as a row of guards in camouflage uniforms kept a close watch.
Mohammed and his co-defendants could all face the death penalty.
They have been accused of seven charges stemming from the 2001 attacks that killed 2,976 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
The devastation resulted in the U.S. embarking on a deadly, costly and ongoing global war against al Qaeda and its supporters.
The families of six victims killed in the attacks were at court witnessing the trial while other victims' families were able to watch proceedings via close-circuit TV.
'It's actually a joke, it feels ridiculous,' said Jim Riches, whose firefighter son, Jimmy, died at the World Trade Center.
Mr Riches watched the hearing from a movie theater at Fort Hamilton in New York City, one of four U.S. military bases where the arraignment was broadcast live for victims' family members, survivors and emergency personnel who responded to the attacks.
'It's been a mess for 11 years,' Riches said as he stood in the rain during a break in the proceedings and described the atmosphere inside.
And after his first glimpse inside the military courtroom, he said, 'It looks like it's going to be a very long trial. ... They want what they want.'
Riches, himself a retired firefighter who worked digging up remains in the days after September 11, said he carried with him dark memories of the days after the attacks, and he hoped that if convicted the five men would be executed.
'I saw what they did to our loved ones - crushed them to pieces,' he said.
About 60 people representing 30 families were in the theater at Fort Hamilton, where the military provided chaplains and grief counselors, Mr Riches said. The other bases providing feeds were Fort Devens in Massachusetts, Joint Base McGuire Dix in New Jersey and Fort Meade in Maryland, the only one open to the public.
At Fort Hamilton, Lee Hanson said he became deeply angry as he watched the delays being caused by men he blames for the death of his son, daughter-in-law and 9/11's youngest victim - his granddaughter, two-year-old Christine Hanson. All were aboard United Flight 175, the second plane to crash into the twin towers.
They're engaging in jihad in a courtroom.
Debra Burlingame, victim's sister
'They praise Allah. I say, ''Damn you!''' said retired Mr Hanson from Eaton, Connecticut.
Several people who viewed the proceedings said they had little sympathy for the defendants' complaints about their treatment, given the brutality of the deaths of the nearly 3,000 victims of the attacks.
Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times and subjected to other measures that some have called torture.
'My brother was murdered in the cockpit of his airplane, and we will have to stand up for him,' said Debra Burlingame, who attended the viewing on behalf of her brother, Charles Burlingame, who piloted the jet that hijackers crashed into the Pentagon.
More than a decade after the attacks, she said: 'We're back in the game ... and they decided to play games.' She added: 'They're engaging in jihad in a courtroom.'
At Fort Meade, about 80 people watched the proceedings at a movie theater on the base, where 'The Lorax' was being promoted on a sign outside.
One section of the theater for victims' families was sectioned off with screens, and signs asked that other spectators respect their privacy.
Once the proceedings began, the spectators in the public section laughed at times, including when a lawyer indicated Mohammed was likely not interested in using his headphones for a translator and again, briefly, when one of the defendants stood and the judge said that kind of behavior excited the guards. But the crowd was quiet when the man began to pray.
Only about half as many spectators returned after a midday recess. Very few people were planning to go to the viewing site in New Jersey, a base spokesman said, and a reporter was turned away at the gates to Fort Devens in Massachusetts.
Six victims' families chosen by lottery traveled to Guantanamo to see the arraignment in person.
Others ignored the viewing opportunity altogether. Alan Linton of Frederick, Maryland, who lost his son Alan Jr, an investment banker, at the World Trade Center, said he and his wife put their names in the lottery for the Cuba trip but weren't interested in watching a video feed of the arraignment.
'That's just not the same as being there to me,' Linton said. 'Going to Fort Meade, it's kind of like watching television.'
Whether they watched or not, relatives were frustrated that it's taken so long to bring the September 11 conspirators to justice.
The Obama administration dropped earlier military-commission charges against them when it decided in 2009 to try them in federal court in New York.
'I would have preferred this would have been in federal court,' Blake Allison of Lyme, New Hampshire, whose 49-year-old wife Anna was aboard the plane that hit the first tower, told the LA Times.
'The public needs to see how in the world you could defend these horrible criminals, and how the prosecutor will be able to prove to the country and the world this is a fair and just system.'
Congress blocked the civilian trials amid opposition to bringing the defendants to U.S. soil, especially to a courthouse located blocks from the trade center site.
Mohammed and the others could be given the death penalty if convicted in the attacks that sent hijacked airliners crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. The trial is probably at least a year away. When it comes to justice, 'it seems like it's an afterthought,' said Eunice Hanson, two-year-old Christine's grandmother. But New York police Detective Marc Nell said the viewing at Fort Hamilton more than a decade after 14 men in his unit were killed brought a sense of satisfaction, 'a great feeling.'
'It was a feeling of pride, being proud knowing that those guys were (being) brought to justice,' he said.
Lawyers for all defendants complained yesterday that the prisoners were prevented from wearing the civilian clothes of their choice.
Mohammed wore a white turban in court; his flowing beard, which had appeared to be graying in earlier hearings and photos, was streaked with red henna.
Mohammed's civilian lawyer, David Nevin, said he believed Mohammed was not responding because he believes the tribunal is unfair.
Pohl warned he would not permit defendants to block the hearing and would continue without his participation.
'One cannot choose not to participate and frustrate the normal course of business,' Pohl said.
In the past, during the failed first effort to prosecute them at the U.S. base in Cuba, Mohammed has mocked the tribunal and said he and his co-defendants would plead guilty and welcome execution.
But there were signs that at least some of the defense teams were preparing for a lengthy fight, planning challenges of the military tribunals and the secrecy that shrouds the case.
The arraignment is 'only the beginning of a trial that will take years to complete, followed by years of appellate review,' attorney James Connell, who represents defendant Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, told reporters gathered at the base to observe the hearing. 'I can't imagine any scenario where this thing gets wrapped up in six months,' Connell said.
Defendants in what is known as a military commission typically do not enter a plea during their arraignment. Instead, the judge reads the charges, makes sure the defendants understand their rights and then moves on to procedural issues.
Lawyers for the men said they were prohibited by secrecy rules from disclosing the intentions of their clients.
Jim Harrington, a civilian attorney for Ramzi Binalshibh, a Yemeni prisoner who has said at one hearing that he was proud of the September 11 attacks, said he did not think that any of the defendants would plead guilty, notwithstanding their earlier statements.
Army Captain Jason Wright, one of Mohammed's Pentagon-appointed lawyers, declined to comment on the case.
Several of the victims' families said they were grateful for the chance to see a case they believe has been delayed too long.
Cliff Russell, whose firefighter brother Stephen died responding to the World Trade Center, said he hoped the case would end with the death penalty for the five Guantanamo Prisoners. 'I'm not looking forward to ending someone else's life and taking satisfaction in it, but it's the most disgusting, hateful, awful thing I ever could think of if you think about what was perpetrated,' Russell said.
Suzanne Sisolak of Brooklyn, whose husband Joseph was killed in his office in the Trade Center's North Tower, said she was not concerned about the ultimate outcome as long as the case moves forward and the five prisoners do not go free.
'They can put them in prison for life. They can execute them,' Sisolak said. 'What I do care about is that this does not happen again. 'They need to be stopped. That's what I care about because nobody deserves to have this happen to them.'
The arraignment for the five comes more than three years after President Obama's failed effort to try the suspects in a federal civilian court and close the prison at the U.S. base in Cuba.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced in 2009 that Mohammed and his co-defendants would be tried blocks from the site of the destroyed trade center in downtown Manhattan, but the plan was shelved after New York officials cited huge costs to secure the neighborhood and family opposition to trying the suspects in the U.S.
Congress then blocked the transfer of any prisoners from Guantanamo to the U.S., forcing the Obama administration to refile the charges under a reformed military commission system.
New rules adopted by Congress and Obama forbid the use of testimony obtained through cruel treatment or torture.
General Mark Martins, the chief prosecutor, said the commission provides many of the same protections that defendants would get in civilian court. 'I'm confident that this court can achieve justice and fairness,' he said.
But human rights groups and the defense lawyers say the reforms have not gone far enough and that restriction on legal mail and the overall secret nature of Guantanamo and the commissions makes it impossible to provide an adequate defense. They argue that the U.S. has sought to keep the case in the military commission to prevent disclosure of the harsh treatment of prisoners such as Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times and subjected to other measures that some have called torture.
Mohammed, a Pakistani citizen who grew up in Kuwait and attended college in Greensboro, North Carolina, has acknowledged to military authorities that he was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks 'from A to Z,' as well as about 30 other plots, and that he personally killed Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
Mohammed was captured in 2003 in Pakistan.
His four co-defendants include Binalshibh, a Yemeni, who was allegedly chosen to be a hijacker but couldn't get a U.S. visa and ended up providing assistance such as finding flight schools.
Waleed bin Attash, also from Yemen, allegedly ran an al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan and researched flight simulators and timetables.
The others are Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi, a Saudi who allegedly helped the hijackers with money, Western clothing, traveler's checks and credit cards and al-Aziz Ali, a Pakistani national and nephew of Mohammed, who allegedly provided money to the hijackers.
All of the woman who are raped, beaten and killed by Radical Islamic Terrorists through Sharia Law should be shoved in the face of the Coward Cheryl Bormann. This lowlife Cheryl Bormann is a kalbeh [Arabic for dog] and a dhimmi.

MORT’s Meanderings
Fools in high places.
My only qualification for inclusion in that fast-disappearing segment of our population known as, ‘The Greatest Generation’, is the number of rings in my tree trunk. I did nothing brave or outstanding while serving in uniform but, like all the others, I went where I was sent and did what I was ordered to do. If that had meant marching into harm’s way, I most certainly would have done it without hesitation.I think I can speak for 99.99% of the men and women who served then and those who serve now in the U.S. Military, when I say that after enduring basic training, followed by specialized training in one’s MO – and becoming acutely aware of the mission of our armed forces in this troubled world - our military men and women have no illusions about the enemies we face.
Why is it then, I ask myself, that so many of our civilian policy-makers in positions of leadership in the Federal Government are so stupid, so stubborn, such wimps, such cowards and frankly, such fatuous fools in high places? Is this really the best we can do?
My gripe today, is specifically focused on those people who tremble in their boots because some of our soldiers have displayed the bad taste to pose for unseemly photos – or cavort in front of video cameras as they do what soldiers have done for centuries - - engage in inappropriate ribaldry and make obscene gestures to poke fun at and hurl insult to their enemies.
My purpose is not to condone or excuse such behavior. Rather, my purpose is to earnestly endeavor to educate those in policy-making positions – especially those who have never worn the uniform or had to face enemy fire, in the exquisite science of facing reality.
For Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to express the currently popular but entirely false canard that such inappropriate behavior by our troops, will cause the blood-thirsty heathens of radical Hamas or the Taliban or the lunatic followers of Sharia Islam to become even more maniacal toward any unfortunate Americans they might capture – is utterly stupid. The enemies we are facing in the Middle East have been at their despicable work since the seventh century and have honed their hatred to white hot.
No actions on the part of our military can cause these enemies to be any more or any less cruel and vicious than they already are. They are brought up from the womb, to hate and make violence against all whom they consider to be infidels or who are somehow deemed in their warped psyches, to be unfit or unworthy.
To add insult to the colossal stupidity and impracticality of this administration’s Rules of Engagement, this inexperienced, inept and horrendously arrogant President and his enablers are engaged in hobbling our military - by purposely abandoning sound military practices in favor of pandering to the enemy. They do this by imposing nonsensical restrictions on our armed forces through the use of Obama’s tool of choice - his ‘failed-every-time-it-has-been-tried’ socialistic ideology.
Barack Obama is a coward. All his life, he has hated our traditional allies, inheriting this hatred from his father who despised them as ‘colonists’. And now as President, he is in a position to sever relations with those same allies – and that is exactly what he has done. Further to the detriment of our nation’s security, he has asserted the Muslim upbringing that is at his core by cozying-up to the Middle-East Arabs and Muslims and more recently, by recognizing and welcoming to the White House, the freedom-hating Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. Obama hates who we are as Americans. He believes as do Muslims everywhere, that the freedoms we enjoy have corrupted us as a people. However weird that belief is, it is his guiding star and if re-elected to the presidency, it will assuredly lead to our demise as the last bastion of freedom on this troubled globe.
Since assuming the presidency, he has steadily separated us from our Democratic allies and has subordinated us to despotic regimes whose sole objective it is to establish Shariah-compliant Islam as the dominant way of life throughout the world.
This President has foisted his brand of moral cowardice onto compliant civilian appointees at the State Department and at the Department of Defense. Sad to say, he has imposed this pathetic character trait onto some generals and admirals at the highest level of command. These men have sworn an oath of allegiance to follow orders from their Commander-in-Chief. In my view, this President has betrayed our trust by demanding treason from both our civilian and our military leaders.
Is there anyone among us who is still so naïve as to believe that such pandering to the enemies we face in the radical, blood-thirsty hordes of Islam – will deter them from pursuance of their violence against our soldiers if given the opportunity? Isn’t it obvious to all who will engage in reality, that it doesn’t matter to these lunatics what we do? They will continue their violence regardless of how we chastise and prosecute our own service men and women for perceived ‘offenses’ against the enemy. And, when we do this to ‘our best and finest’, we destroy the morale of ‘our best and finest’. Is that really how to support our all-voluntary armed forces? This plays directly into the hands of our enemies; this is the path being followed by President Barack Hussein Obama.
Now, do you know what I meant by the title on this piece, “Fools in high places”? Got it, folks? Four more years of this lunacy? I don’t think so.

When Mason Perry Jones was charged with MURDERING a White Student at MSU, did Soetoro say if he had a son, his son would look like the Killer?
When Larry Sinclair was Murdered, did Soetoro say that if he had a Lover that Lover would look like Larry Sinclair?
As our position in the World gets weaker and weaker, Barry Soetoro is so concerned with skin color. Soetoro and coward Holder make no attempt to shield their goals, which one goal is to punish White in America.
The left is obsesses with Race. Listen to racist comments from Samuel L Jackson, Chris Rock, Morgan Freeman, Bob Deniro and many other leftists.
Below is a bit of transcript from the Rush Limbaugh show. Rush can make the point for Conservatives like no other.
The Left's Obsession with Race
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Folks, I don't usually cover the local crime beat, but since it seems to be a popular topic this week, there is a bit of news. A 21-year-old Mississippi State University student was killed over the weekend in his dorm. He was the victim of multiple gunshot wounds. This is a quote, now: "Shortly after the incident, investigators said witnesses and security cameras observed three African-American males fleeing the scene." The suspects were so thoroughly identified it was announced that they were not Mississippi State University students. Now, this murder hasn't gotten very much coverage in the national media.
There is an AP story on it here. The headline to the story: "Coroner Rules MSU Student Death a Homicide," and a person of interest has been identified. A weapon was discovered. " John Sanderson, 21, of Madison died of multiple gunshot wounds in an incident at Evans Hall dormitory shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday Shortly after the incident, investigators said witnesses and security cameras observed three African-American males fleeing the scene". John Sanderson, in case you're asking, is white. Yeah. But there hasn't been much on this story from Saturday night. So I just wanted to mention it to you.

Allen West Is No Coward But Patrick Murphy is a Rat
This Patrick Murphy, calls Allen West a Coward? Patrick Murphy is a rat, a lowlife traitor who attacks our Veterans. That’s right I said it! (Hat Tip to Levin)
Murphy calls himself a Democrat in 2012? The Democrats are weasels who gave us the Marxist Leader. The Democrats either supported Barry or they put their head in the sand while their party shoved this Marxist Regime down our throats.
While their Barry, the Democrat Leader was organizing Racists at ACORN, Allen West was fighting for our freedom. Allen West was dominating Radical Islam while Barry Soetoro was hanging around Bill Ayers driving in Limos with Larry Sinclair. Allen West was getting shot at while Barry Soetoro was sitting in Rev Wright’s so-called Church with Racist rants about Jews and Whitey. Barry Soetoro was getting high and hanging around self-described Communists while Allen West was getting up at 5 in the am and doing calisthenics.
So the Democrat’s and self-loathing Whites who placed the real Coward in the White House need to respect Allen West and our Military! Or as Allen West says “Get the Hell Out of the United States”!

Worm Brains in Washington
Government does not earn money; Government takes money.
Government creates jobs; jobs in the public sector. Government
hires employees for these jobs with no money to pay them,
because the Government does not create income so they have to
borrow money to pay them. In order to repay the loan they take
money from those who create income and if it isn't enough, they
print more money.
If public services are needed and requested by the private sector,
the money is provided by them with no arm twisting. Public service
unions have over blown compensation where it is now not capable
for the earners to continue to support them.
Printing new money without backing reduces its value. Obama's
worm brains advising him on economics, are creating a double
whammy malady where the price of goods costs more and the
money you have to buy it with is worth less; soon to become
one word, "worthless!"
The above statement I offer is made without benefit of an MBA,
or degree in economics from an ivy league institute. It comes from
the school of common sense.

ACORN a Corrupt Criminal Enterprise
Once again we see Obama’s Group, ACORN, a Corrupt Criminal Enterprise receiving money from the Messiah. When will people get over Political Correctness and demand an Investigation by an Independent Prosecutor. Barry is knee deep in this Corrupt Organization and Liberals still support him. The Messiah gives Money to Hate Groups.
Hat Tip to Mr. I
Obama’s ‘Jobs Bill’ Makes ACORN Eligible for $15 Billion in Taxpayer Money
Portion below by Matthew Vadum
ACORN and other radical left-wing groups would be eligible for up to $15 billion in federal funding if President Obama’s new economic stimulus package becomes law.
Now that public polling shows Americans are realizing that economic stimulus programs don’t work, the Obama administration is calling the latest round of futile stimulus a “jobs bill.” In a sense it really is a jobs bill: a jobs bill for Saul Alinsky-inspired community organizers.
The draft legislation [1], which had not yet been introduced in Congress at press time, makes ACORN, Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA), and a phalanx of leftist groups that regularly feed at the public trough eligible for funding. [2]
Section 261 of the bill provides $15 billion for “Project Rebuild.” Grants would be given to “qualified nonprofit organizations, businesses or consortia of eligible entities for the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed-upon properties and for the stabilization of affected neighborhoods.” Radical groups like ACORN won’t get the whole $15 billion, though, because they will have to compete with state and local governments for the money.
ACORN would have to get creative to extract grant money from the $5 billion allotted in the legislative package for two other competitive grant programs covered in sections 214 and 215. At first glance ACORN wouldn’t seem to be eligible for funding under the Community Oriented Policing Stabilization Fund and First Responder Stabilization Fund, but oddly enough the group has managed over the years to receive funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, so anything’s possible.
But there is every reason to believe ACORN, which has long been in the real estate development business, will get a chunk of the $15 billion. President Obama, who used to work for ACORN, wants to give his allies taxpayer dollars regardless of whether it is lawful to do so.
In March of this year, Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gave a $79,819 grant to the Miami branch of the massive conglomerate known as ACORN Housing Corp. (AHC). AHC filed papers in 2010 legally changing its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA). The nonprofit corporation owed $162,813 in back taxes to the IRS, states, and cities as of this past July.
Despite the new name, AHCOA is the same old corrupt organization. It even uses AHC’s federal Employer Identification Number (72-1048321). AHCOA operates out of the same office address (209 W. Jackson Blvd., 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60606) and uses the same telephone number (312-939-1611).
AHCOA is run by the same people who ran the ACORN network. Michael Shea, AHC’s longtime executive director, remains in the same post at AHCOA. AHCOA president Alton Bennett and board member Dorothy Amadi were involved with AHC and are longtime ACORN activists. (There are more examples of overlap between AHC and AHCOA, but I’ll spare you them for now.) [3]
Like the T-1000 in "Terminator 2" ACORN can be slowed down but it will just continue to regroup under different names, and operate out of the same offices.The $79,819 grant to the former ACORN Housing comes out of HUD’s Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) program, a political indoctrination program that gives nonprofit groups money to rail against lenders and the supposed unfairness of the capitalist system.
The circumstances of the grant are particularly striking. HUD was so eager to start funding ACORN again that it apparently broke the law, taking the cash out of fiscal 2010 appropriations. This is a problem because Congress banned federal funding of ACORN through the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2010. But two months earlier HUD cited the congressional ban when it withheld a $461,086 grant to AHCOA. Something happened between January and March. In March HUD relied on a government lawyer’s dubious legal opinion from 2010 that ACORN Housing was no longer part of the ACORN network — and the new $79,819 grant went through.
And now there are dozens of new ACORN offshoot groups ready to devour taxpayers’ money, as I write in my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers [4].
Many of the new ACORN groups — with names like New York Communities for Change and Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment — are eligible for federal funding. They have obtained Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) numbers which nonprofits are required to have in order to seek federal grants.
If the proposed Jobs for Community Organizers bill becomes law it’s a safe bet the rebranded ACORN groups will be first in line with grant applications.
Matthew Vadum is a great writer. He is also an award-winning investigative journalist at a conservative watchdog group in Washington, D.C. Vadum is also author of Subversion Inc: How Obama's ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers.

False Facts from Lame Stream Media
Friends: The main stream media is at it again, carrying the water for the loony left liberals by printing an obvious false letter about the military service of Rep. Allen West. Please write them and complain about their obvious bias in reporting the news and by printing slanderous letters contrary to the truth.
Dear Editor: (To a lame Stream Media Outlet that poses as Journalists)
Why do you print letters that contain obvious false facts. The letter by Vincent Bochicchio (Sep't.1) contained some blatant outright lies. Allen West was not subject to a court martial as he was cleared in a Section 32 hearing (a preliminary hearing) and given the choice to retire with honors and an honorable discharge, which he accepted.
John Kerry, on the other hand, holds the military record for receiving 3 Purple Hearts in a period of 4 months with nary a scar to show for it. That was his ticket out of Vietnam. To compare John Kerry with a real hero, Allen West, is an insult to Allen West.
Sincerely,
Chuck On The Right Side

Allen West Supports Israel and America
We want to applaud HERB KEINON for this interview with Allen West. This information points out how Allen West is a True Leader. Compared with our current POTUS, Allen West does not ask for Affirmative Action.
Allen West: US congressman with his heart in the East
By HERB KEINON
The 22-year US military veteran, freshman congressman, Tea Party darling and passionate Israel advocate talks to Herb Keinon.
Allen West doesn’t move through the lobby of Jerusalem’s David Citadel like most of the other 20 or so freshmen congressmen in his delegation visiting Israel – anonymously, with no one really knowing the difference between them and the regular tourists.
No, West walks through the lobby almost like a rock star – not the world’s most famous rock star, but one that enough people have seen, and heard, to attract attention.
“Excuse me,” a seemingly star-struck woman in her late 20s-early 30s bursts out, interrupting the interview with West in a semi-isolated corner of the hotel. “I love you so much,” she gushes, “thank you for coming.” Then she bends down to give the Republican congressman from South Florida a hug around the neck.
And she is not alone. Some four other people stopped West, introduced themselves and wished him well in the two minutes it took to meet him in the hotel and find a private place to sit.
The attention is not surprising.
When the Republicans trounced the Democrats in last year’s congressional election, some 84 new Republicans – most of them Tea Party folks like West – went to Washington.
Most, in the public’s mind, just melded into one.
Not West.
First, he is an African-American who for months, until he bucked the movement’s orthodoxy on the recent budget deficit debate earlier this month, was one of its darlings.
Second, he is a 22-year US military veteran, having spent 43 months of active duty in the Middle East, including combat in Iraq and during the first Gulf war. He retired with the rank of lieutenant-colonel after being questioned over the manner in which he had conducted an interrogation: While stationed in Iraq, West fired a pistol near a detainee’s head to extract information. He was fined $5,000 for the incident, and when asked later whether he would have acted differently, he said, “If it’s about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I’d go through hell with a gasoline can.”
And third, he is outspoken, having garnered American media attention for telling a Muslim activist who challenged him at a town hall meeting in February, not to “blow smoke up my butt and tell me it’s warm and fuzzy.”
More recently he sent Florida Democratic colleague Debbie Wasserman Schultz an email in July after she chided him on the House floor, calling her the most “vile, unprofessional and despicable” member of the House.
He is also a politician many believe has a very bright future.
Only this week did he officially announce he would not run in 2012 for the Senate, despite a great deal of speculation to the contrary, and some have even mentioned him as possible presidential contender down the line. In 2010, West defeated Ron Klein, a strongly pro-Israel Jewish incumbent Democrat, to represent Florida’s 22nd district – a district that includes West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale and has an estimated 10-percent Jewish vote.
This week, West sat down with The Jerusalem Post and pulled no punches when talking about his view of the Palestinians, Iran, Israel and the African-American community, and Jonathan Pollard.
What follows are excerpts of the interview.
You are meeting tomorrow with the Palestinian Authority leadership. What is your message to them?
There is one very simple question I would ask: Do you really believe you are a credible peace partner? Because I think with the reconciliation pact with Hamas, that is a very telling thing. The fact is that they are trying to back-door the process by going to the UN for a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state, when we don’t have a firm recognition of Israel, we don’t have the renouncing of terrorism. I would also ask, what is a Palestinian state? It is something that never existed before.
And even the word Palestine.
You take it back to Palestina – which comes from Philistia – which was nothing but a declaration by Roman Emperor Hadrian in 73 AD.
This is a region, it is not anything tied to a certain group of people; it would be just the same as saying we should have an Appalachian state, separate from North Carolina. It’s those questions I’d like to ask.
Do you support two states for two peoples?
I think that you have to first of all support the modern-day state of Israel. I think you have to support Israel post the ’67 borders. Now, I am not going to sit here and dictate to Israel what their polices should be, but my perspective on it is that I have never seen a Palestinian state, and I think before that ever gets talked about, there are some concessions that have to be made on their side: the recognition of Israel and the renouncing of terrorism.
And once again it comes back to those very important words: a credible peace partner.
I think the last thing you need to have is an erosion of your state of security. Look at what is going on right now. You gave back Gaza and the only thing you got in return were Kassam rockets and 220-millimeter [mortar shells]. You pulled out of southern Lebanon, and what did you get? You got a more militant Hezbollah, which during the Second Lebanon War rained down rockets and missiles.
So I think the other side needs to come to the table and show they are a credible partner before we continue to say to Israel, “This is what you must do, and that you must believe in a two-state solution.”
And I think the other thing we have to do is a better job on the information, propaganda side of this thing... I remember during the flotilla incident, I was sitting there looking at the TV with my wife, and I said, “They have paint guns on their backs.” She said, “How can you tell?” And I said, “I can tell the silhouette of a paint gun.” So you did everything necessary to try and have less of a confrontation, but yet you were attacked.
What I told people in America was to think about what if America was participating in a sanctioned blockade, and all of a sudden we boarded ships, and our Navy SEALs were attacked, what would you expect our Navy SEALs to do? We should allow Israel to do the exact same thing.
If you have rockets and missiles coming in out of Mexico over into the Texas territory, guess what we are going to do? We are going to defend our sovereignty. So why should we expect Israel to do anything less?
Why do you think that much of America, much of the world, does treat Israel differently?
It comes back to exactly what I said: The information-operations war. In the military, in strategic studies, they teach you that there are four elements to a nation’s power. It’s called the DIME theory: diplomatic, informational, military and economic.
It is the “I” portion where we are not doing very well. It is the “I” portion where Israel is not doing very well.
No one is talking about the fact that half a million Israelis were in bomb shelters last night... But as soon as you go and defend yourselves, then that is all over the place, and you are made out to be the aggressor when what are you doing – you are protecting your sovereignty. I can’t understand why when it comes to the case of Israel you are not allowed to defend yourselves.
People come in and always talk about proportionality. I was a soldier. If a guy shoots at me, I am shooting everything back at him – anyone will tell you that offensive operations are three-to-one, it is not supposed to be one-to-one.
There are those who argue, however, that no matter how good the messenger, the message won’t be received because there is a double standard toward Israel and the Jews.
Yes, there is a horrific double standard. We, as your best ally, need to help you on that.
Because a lot of our media sources follow that duplicitous hypocrisy as well. We need to do better in our country.
Look, there is no better bond than the bond between American and Israel. I grew up in Georgia. I grew up knowing probably more about this country through Sunday school, Bible study and everything before I was a high school graduate, than maybe a lot of people who live here in this region. So that when I came here in 2009, it was just the same as me coming home.
A part of me is here.
This is my wife’s first time here, and a part of her is here because of the Judeo-Christian faith heritage that we share, the values that we share, the democracy that we share, the sense of liberty and freedom.
We need to understand that we are in this fight together and what is being done to Israel is also being done to America, so as Israel falls, then guess who is the next target – America. Because America and Israel are truly the beacons and shining light in this world.
I call it a sea of darkness of despots, dictators, theocrats and autocrats. If we let the light go out here, there is no doubt that the next target is the next shining light. So I think we have to do a better job with Israel in helping getting that message across.
You mention the strong Israeli-US bonds. Has President Barack Obama hurt those – have they been weakened over the last three years?
I won’t say that it has been weakened; it has definitely been shaken. I think that when you make the declarations that he has made in some instances, that is very hurtful.
I would have thought that going into his third year [as president], he would have come to visit Israel and show that support, show that bond, show that closeness and stand here. It was a great event when Prime Minister [Binyamin] Netanyahu came and spoke at the joint session of Congress [in May], and I would expect the American president to come here and address the Knesset just as well – to show that inextricable bond, to show that we are two countries which have roots that are just so intertwined.
Do you think President Obama has hurt Israel?
I think that President Obama has left a question mark with a lot of the Israelis. They are really not sure which direction things are going. You may see this, but then you get that. So there is a lot of uncertainty, and really when you talk to people in the US, that is the big theme, uncertainty – be it in our financial markets, our unemployment situation, debt deficit, foreign policy, whatever, there is just a lot of uncertainty.
What do you answer those who say that the great ovation Netanyahu got in Congress just shows that the US is in Israel’s pocket?
I don’t think we are in each other’s pocket. We have a shared history, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that or deny that. Read the writings of the founding fathers: There is a Judeo-Christian faith heritage that helped establish the United States of America.
When you go back to May 1948, I believe it was 16 minutes after the declaration that the US recognized the modern- day State of Israel.
As I said, every kid that grew up with me knew all the stories of the Old Testament and the Bible, and the stories of the prophets. So I am not ashamed to say that we have this close relationship, and I don’t think that we should allow any other nation, or any other type of criticism to try to separate us.
But can the US be a fair broker?
I think we are a fair broker, and I think Israel is a fair broker, and I think it is kind of like baseball: We will call a ball a ball, and a strike a strike. We will call each other out if we don’t do something right, but I think there are a lot of things we have to be proud of about our two countries.
I think that one of the great gestures that we should send forth – and I wrote a letter about this to President Obama – Jonathan Pollard has been through enough. Let him go home. It is a point beyond understanding right now.
Jonathan Pollard has been in prison now for 25 years. Back in my inner-city neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia, we had a saying when we played basketball: “No blood, no foul.” I think he has sat in the penalty box for long enough.
He should come home... And I think it would be a fantastic gesture, it would be a fantastic showing of our mutual respect and bond, to say enough is enough.
There are a lot of concerns here about Israel’s relations with the Afro-American community. Polls show that support there lags behind support in other communities. Why is that, and what can be done to change it?
It is so interesting, and that is probably one of the most perplexing things, because the most conservative, pro-Israel people on Sunday is the Afro- American community. But then something happens from Monday to Saturday, and I think that if we can solve the riddle of what happens from Monday to Saturday, then we can reverse that situation.
Because as I said, growing up, my life was understanding the Bible and the prophets, and understanding the history of Israel and how that formulated my own Christian faith....
Look what happened in the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s in the South. Those were Jewish Americans who were down there working with the black community, and we have to reestablish that, because that was incredible.
Look at what happened in Mississippi.
Those were young Jewish men [Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner] who were killed [in 1964] with the black kid [James Chaney] there in Mississippi, so why did we get away from that, and why do certain people like Louis Farrakhan have a greater voice? We have to reverse that.
But how do you explain that?
I think there is a desire in the Afro-American community to connect with something. You see Islam coming into the prisons, where unfortunately you have a high degree of incarcerations.
You see it going into the neighborhoods and preaching discipline and things of that nature.
I think you have had a breakdown of the church – its importance and role in the black community. You’ve had a breakdown in the black family.
When I was growing up, I sang in the youth choir.
Wednesday night was Bible study. All of those very basic things we have to go back and reestablish, and when we do that, I think the Afro-American community will once again reconnect.
I’d like to see more Afro- Americans come to Israel, because this is part of who we are. This is our holy land, just as it is your traditional homeland.
Often you hear parallels made between the Palestinian struggle and the American Civil Rights movement. Former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice once made such an allusion. Do you see any parallels?
No, I don’t see it that way.
Again, when you are a student of history, history does not lie.
You go all the way back to the Peel Commission. There were things offered to the Arabs that were living here in Palestine, back when the British were here after World War I.
Everyone who lived in this region had a passport that said “Palestine” – it had nothing to do with Arab or Israeli. So this is a region, not about a certain people. And then once again, if you want to understand the true evolution of this word Palestine, it’s because Hadrian changed the name from Judea to Palestine. So really, if you want to free Palestine, it belongs to the Jewish people, if you want to look at it historically.
I think that trying to make those kinds of parallels is very dangerous, and I don’t think they are the correct types of parallels. And I think we have to look historically at what happened here.
The Palestinians will say they are looking for freedom and equality just like the American blacks were looking for equality.
Yes we were looking for equality, but in America my forefathers were brought there for what? I don’t think any Jewish person brought the Arabs here for the purpose of slavery. So I think you totally blow that parallel right there.
Like I said, you look at the Peel Commission, you look at the 1947 UN mandate – every opportunity was given to have this peaceful coexistence, but it was continuously rejected. That would be the same as the Unites Sates saying, “Okay, these are going to be the Afro-American states – South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,” and we say, “We don’t want that, we want Tennessee.” So that parallel does not work very well for me. There can be peaceful coexistence here, but it comes down to who is a credible peace partner.
Since you are a military man, I want to ask you about statements General David Petraeus made last year to the effect that Israel was costing the US both blood and treasure.
That was not a good statement.
I know Gen. Petraeus personally, and I think that was a faux pas, because Israel is not costing the United States anything.
You are associated with the Tea Party. Should we be concerned that its members will want to cut US aid to Israel?
When you look at the Tea Party, one of the things that I have said they have to focus on as well is national security – not just constitutional movement, fiscal responsibility, free market for enterprise, but national security is part of it.
The Tea Party is a constitutional conservative grassroots movement. It is only 18 months old, it’s getting better, stronger, more credible, and more knowledgeable each and every day.
But how about the demands to cut back on spending? Won’t foreign aid be at risk?
It is not so much on cutting back on spending, but on prioritizing spending. It is understating what are the constitutional mandates of the US government, and when you go back and look at what are the five basic mandates of the Constitution – to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, promote general welfare, provide for the common defense and secure the blessings of liberty – providing for common defense is without a doubt probably the most important thing the federal government has to do. There is some waste in the foreign aid spending we have out there, no doubt about it. But when you look out at who your true allies are, there is no better ally out there than Israel.
What about Iran? Are sanctions working?
You know, Iran is not that concerned about the effects of sanctions on its people.... I think we have to take Iran at face value and understand that it is a theocracy; they do believe in the return of the Mahdi, the 12th Imam, by an apocalyptic event. They are pursuing this nuclear capability.
Just think if [Libyan leader] Muammar Gaddafi had not given up his nuclear program in 2003, and how that would have changed what happened with NATO in 2011. That’s the message these guys have learned, that this [nuclear arms capability] is your trump card. I look back in history – we must start taking people for who they are. The world did not take Adolf Hitler for who he was, and they continued to try to appease and compromise with him, and look what happened after six years, and the devastation to the Jewish people.
So I think were are going to have to understand at some point that if you want this part of the world to respond in a way conducive to your security, you have to have a credible military option on the table. It is about strength in the Middle East. No one respects words; they respect your projection of strength.
Is now the time, then, for the US or Israel, or in tandem, to take military action against Iran?
I’m not privy to a lot of intel briefings, but I will say this: Iran has two Americans, and I think right now there should be a very definitive statement that they will release those two American hikers, or else. We don’t need to define “or else,” but it comes back to what I said, a credible military threat.

Allen West: US congressman with his heart in the East
By HERB KEINON
The 22-year US military veteran, freshman congressman, Tea Party darling and passionate Israel advocate talks to Herb Keinon.
Allen West doesn’t move through the lobby of Jerusalem’s David Citadel like most of the other 20 or so freshmen congressmen in his delegation visiting Israel – anonymously, with no one really knowing the difference between them and the regular tourists.
No, West walks through the lobby almost like a rock star – not the world’s most famous rock star, but one that enough people have seen, and heard, to attract attention.
“Excuse me,” a seemingly star-struck woman in her late 20s-early 30s bursts out, interrupting the interview with West in a semi-isolated corner of the hotel. “I love you so much,” she gushes, “thank you for coming.” Then she bends down to give the Republican congressman from South Florida a hug around the neck.
And she is not alone. Some four other people stopped West, introduced themselves and wished him well in the two minutes it took to meet him in the hotel and find a private place to sit.
The attention is not surprising.
When the Republicans trounced the Democrats in last year’s congressional election, some 84 new Republicans – most of them Tea Party folks like West – went to Washington.
Most, in the public’s mind, just melded into one.
Not West.
First, he is an African-American who for months, until he bucked the movement’s orthodoxy on the recent budget deficit debate earlier this month, was one of its darlings.
Second, he is a 22-year US military veteran, having spent 43 months of active duty in the Middle East, including combat in Iraq and during the first Gulf war. He retired with the rank of lieutenant-colonel after being questioned over the manner in which he had conducted an interrogation: While stationed in Iraq, West fired a pistol near a detainee’s head to extract information. He was fined $5,000 for the incident, and when asked later whether he would have acted differently, he said, “If it’s about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I’d go through hell with a gasoline can.”
And third, he is outspoken, having garnered American media attention for telling a Muslim activist who challenged him at a town hall meeting in February, not to “blow smoke up my butt and tell me it’s warm and fuzzy.”
More recently he sent Florida Democratic colleague Debbie Wasserman Schultz an email in July after she chided him on the House floor, calling her the most “vile, unprofessional and despicable” member of the House.
He is also a politician many believe has a very bright future.
Only this week did he officially announce he would not run in 2012 for the Senate, despite a great deal of speculation to the contrary, and some have even mentioned him as possible presidential contender down the line. In 2010, West defeated Ron Klein, a strongly pro-Israel Jewish incumbent Democrat, to represent Florida’s 22nd district – a district that includes West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale and has an estimated 10-percent Jewish vote.
This week, West sat down with The Jerusalem Post and pulled no punches when talking about his view of the Palestinians, Iran, Israel and the African-American community, and Jonathan Pollard.
What follows are excerpts of the interview.
You are meeting tomorrow with the Palestinian Authority leadership. What is your message to them?
There is one very simple question I would ask: Do you really believe you are a credible peace partner? Because I think with the reconciliation pact with Hamas, that is a very telling thing. The fact is that they are trying to back-door the process by going to the UN for a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state, when we don’t have a firm recognition of Israel, we don’t have the renouncing of terrorism. I would also ask, what is a Palestinian state? It is something that never existed before.
And even the word Palestine.
You take it back to Palestina – which comes from Philistia – which was nothing but a declaration by Roman Emperor Hadrian in 73 AD.
This is a region, it is not anything tied to a certain group of people; it would be just the same as saying we should have an Appalachian state, separate from North Carolina. It’s those questions I’d like to ask.
Do you support two states for two peoples?
I think that you have to first of all support the modern-day state of Israel. I think you have to support Israel post the ’67 borders. Now, I am not going to sit here and dictate to Israel what their polices should be, but my perspective on it is that I have never seen a Palestinian state, and I think before that ever gets talked about, there are some concessions that have to be made on their side: the recognition of Israel and the renouncing of terrorism.
And once again it comes back to those very important words: a credible peace partner.
I think the last thing you need to have is an erosion of your state of security. Look at what is going on right now. You gave back Gaza and the only thing you got in return were Kassam rockets and 220-millimeter [mortar shells]. You pulled out of southern Lebanon, and what did you get? You got a more militant Hezbollah, which during the Second Lebanon War rained down rockets and missiles.
So I think the other side needs to come to the table and show they are a credible partner before we continue to say to Israel, “This is what you must do, and that you must believe in a two-state solution.”
And I think the other thing we have to do is a better job on the information, propaganda side of this thing... I remember during the flotilla incident, I was sitting there looking at the TV with my wife, and I said, “They have paint guns on their backs.” She said, “How can you tell?” And I said, “I can tell the silhouette of a paint gun.” So you did everything necessary to try and have less of a confrontation, but yet you were attacked.
What I told people in America was to think about what if America was participating in a sanctioned blockade, and all of a sudden we boarded ships, and our Navy SEALs were attacked, what would you expect our Navy SEALs to do? We should allow Israel to do the exact same thing.
If you have rockets and missiles coming in out of Mexico over into the Texas territory, guess what we are going to do? We are going to defend our sovereignty. So why should we expect Israel to do anything less?
Why do you think that much of America, much of the world, does treat Israel differently?
It comes back to exactly what I said: The information-operations war. In the military, in strategic studies, they teach you that there are four elements to a nation’s power. It’s called the DIME theory: diplomatic, informational, military and economic.
It is the “I” portion where we are not doing very well. It is the “I” portion where Israel is not doing very well.
No one is talking about the fact that half a million Israelis were in bomb shelters last night... But as soon as you go and defend yourselves, then that is all over the place, and you are made out to be the aggressor when what are you doing – you are protecting your sovereignty. I can’t understand why when it comes to the case of Israel you are not allowed to defend yourselves.
People come in and always talk about proportionality. I was a soldier. If a guy shoots at me, I am shooting everything back at him – anyone will tell you that offensive operations are three-to-one, it is not supposed to be one-to-one.
There are those who argue, however, that no matter how good the messenger, the message won’t be received because there is a double standard toward Israel and the Jews.
Yes, there is a horrific double standard. We, as your best ally, need to help you on that.
Because a lot of our media sources follow that duplicitous hypocrisy as well. We need to do better in our country.
Look, there is no better bond than the bond between American and Israel. I grew up in Georgia. I grew up knowing probably more about this country through Sunday school, Bible study and everything before I was a high school graduate, than maybe a lot of people who live here in this region.

We need to understand that we are in this fight together and what is being done to Israel is also being done to America, so as Israel falls, then guess who is the next target – America. Because America and Israel are truly the beacons and shining light in this world.
I call it a sea of darkness of despots, dictators, theocrats and autocrats. If we let the light go out here, there is no doubt that the next target is the next shining light. So I think we have to do a better job with Israel in helping getting that message across.
You mention the strong Israeli-US bonds. Has President Barack Obama hurt those – have they been weakened over the last three years?
I won’t say that it has been weakened; it has definitely been shaken. I think that when you make the declarations that he has made in some instances, that is very hurtful.

MORT's Meanderings
Obama knows WWII; not so much.
There are 'lies', 'damned lies' and then there is, 'Obama-speak'.
Recently Obama the historian', who is renowned for his impeccable accuracy in matters pertaining to the history of our nation, casually made the claim in one of his speeches that his father had served in World War II. I was in the uniform of the U.S.Navy during that war and I must say, I never ran across Barack Hussein Obama, the elder. Of course I might have just missed him in all the noise and confusion that surrounded that event.
While the elder BHO might have served in the 'Conscientious Objector' battalion, I'm willing to bet my next social security check that he never served a day in the regular armed forces of the United States of America. Although I haven't read Obama's book, the one that he dedicated to his father's hallucinations, I am willing to wager that serving in the U. S. Military was never one of the 'dreams of his father'. I think it's a safe bet.
Obama and his father (whomever that turns out to be, if ever the issue is actually investigated and a provable conclusion is reached) represent two generations of an ideological eccentricity that defies all accepted logic. Their ravings and writings are plucked right out of the pages of a medical journal description of the symptoms associated with advanced stages of Syphilis.
We are 310 million Americans, being led around by our noses by this one Muslim lunatic and his equally nut-case Marxist enablers and misguided supporters. And, we have 535 elected members of the U. S. Congress who seem too mesmerized or traumatized to make the slightest effort to pro-actively protect we lonely 310 million of their constituents, as they each swore a solemn oath to do.
Or, am I just a cranky old WWII dinosaur who still believes with all his heart, in every single word that is contained in the Constitution of the United States of America?
There are 'lies', 'damned lies' and then there is, 'Obama-speak'.
Does anybody care? Are you ready for four more years of this?

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our

grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property -
until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.
I wish all Americans would read this!!! I do not remember hearing Thomas Jefferson talk about the need for ACORN or Community Reinvestment Act.

We Stand with the Gentleman from Florida
Written by Phil Orenstein
One often hears the endless rants of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz (D-Fl.), the new chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, wailing about liberal causes to the cameras of C-SPAN from the floor of the House of Representatives. In the recent spat between Wasserman Shultz and Congressman West, the congressional Democrats are rallying to show their support for Wasserman Shultz. Now Republicans need to step up to the plate and rally behind a true leader, Congressman Allen West (R-Fl).
On July 18, Wasserman Shultz utilized false scare tactics on the House floor, to excoriate fellow Floridian Congressman West behind his back, for supporting the GOP Cut, Cap and Balance Act alleging that it would “end Medicare as we know it” in order to frighten senior citizens. Targeting West, she said: “Incredulously, the gentleman from Florida, who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of this plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries. Unbelievable for a member from South Florida.” She went on to play class warfare word games criticizing the bill for “rewarding the wealthy at the expense of our seniors and working families” just as did the Bush tax cuts, she claimed. Without the opportunity to defend himself on the floor, Congressman West immediately fired back a blunt email in response to this apparent stab in the back, after enduring a long string of insults from the congresswoman who serves in the neighboring district in South Florida.
In his email to Wasserman Shultz and the House leadership of both parties, he asked her to address her floor comments directly to his face, not after he departed, “otherwise, shut the heck up.” He said she is “the most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member of the US House of Representatives.” Referring to the history of her relentless past attacks, he asserted that she has proven repeatedly that she is “not a Lady” and he said “understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.”
The antagonism between Wasserman Shultz and West goes back to that date in the 2010 congressional campaign when she was an ally of West’s opponent former Rep. Ron Klein, (D-Fl) whom West defeated. It started when she led the protest rally outside the headquarters where she blasted his monthly columns in a biker magazine, “Wheels on the Road,” a publication which features some scantily clad women. During the rally she said: “He thinks it's OK to objectify and denigrate women. He thinks it's OK to take away our reproductive freedom. He thinks it's OK to associate with people who refer to women as oral relief stations.”
In addition to her continued smears as the West campaign began to mount a real threat to Klein’s seat, West’s comments are honest and right on the mark in characterizing Chairwoman Wasserman Shultz’s new role as attack dog of the DNC. She revoltingly played the race card recently, charging the GOP with racism for advocating new requirements for voters to show photo ID’s when registering to vote in order to combat rampant voter fraud, by saying Republicans “want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws.”
Jim Crow laws were discriminatory practices of the segregationist South after the period of Reconstruction which required blacks to sit in the back of buses and use separate restaurants, rest rooms and water fountains. It was a deliberate mean-spirited attack to compare these bigoted practices with the sensible GOP proposal to show photo ID’s, which are now required throughout society from the DMV to airports to the public library.
Her inflammatory performances accusing Republicans of racism and sexism make even fellow Democrats shudder. As her verbal assaults continue to fly, she stated that if they had the chance, Republicans would reinstate segregation and that they are “waging a war on women” while the facts show quite the opposite, that Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin and other extraordinary women are the shining stars of the GOP today.
In an interview with Stuart Varney on the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News, Congressman West asserted that he would not apologize for his remarks. Both Varney and O’Reilly came to West’s defense saying he has the right to defend his honor against Wasserman Shultz. Most everybody else seems to think so, except for the liberal Democrats on Capitol Hill. In the latest poll of the Sun Sentinel, a South Florida newspaper with a largely Democrat reader base, over 11,000 readers responded to the question: “Has Allen West gone too far with his criticism of Debbie Wasserman Schultz?” 83% responded saying: “No way. Allen West says it like it is. You go, Congressman. We love you,” while only 2% responded saying: “Yes. West should publicly apologize immediately, if he has any class at all.”
However, Rep. Bruce Braley, (D-Iowa) is showing his support for Wasserman Shultz by wearing a pink button that reads “We Stand With The Lady” and made hundreds of them which he is distributing to congressional Democrats, who are likewise supporting Wasserman Shultz, some of whom are demanding an apology.
However this shows how the Democrats are out of touch with the public majority who see a man of character and principle standing up righteously to defend his honor, who should not apologize for his candid remarks. In fact the congressional Republicans should immediately break their silence and show their support for Congressman West by public statement or by distributing red, white and blue buttons that read: “We Stand With The Gentleman From Florida.”
Beyond the war of words between Wasserman Shultz and West, we see two diametrically opposed visions of America. Wasserman Shultz, a career politician has been living off the taxpayers since she began her career first as a Representative and later a Senator in the Florida State Legislature. She acts as the poster child for the blame and victimization games, often seen crying out for more at the public trough, aiming her animus at Republicans for throwing women, minorities, the poor and seniors under the bus. On the other hand West, who served his country for 22 years in the Armed Forces, a true leader of moral fiber and principle has a different vision of America, one that harkens back to our foundational and pioneering spirit as Americans. But he also is a man of honor who will fight back and valiantly stand against vile smears and despicable charades of political grandstanding and we need to show that we all stand with the gentleman from Florida.

MORT's Meanderings:
A picture worth a thousand words?
"As crazy as it might sound, the cartoon on the Opinion page of the 7-26-2011 edition of the SunSentinel, proves the validity of that trite old adage: "A picture is worth a thousand words." By combining a simple line drawing and a few words of text, the Sentinel's resident political cartoonist Chan Lowe, managed to create a cartoon that would require a thousand words to fully explain. Cartoons are not supposed to create confusion on the part of the viewer.
I'll try in less than a thousand words, to give you an idea of how Lowe created the confusion. His drawing is divided into two halves by a vertical line down the center. On the left side, a 'Joe-6-pack-everyday-sorta-guy' is viewing the front page of his newspaper. The headline reads, "Norway Terrorist A Christian Radical". The guy comments: "First Oklahoma City, now this . . " On the right side of the cartoon, the same guy is depicted shouting, "They shouldn't be allowed to build churches in this country!" This is a clumsy attempt at drawing a parallel to the loudly-expressed opposition by seriously concerned citizens of neighborhoods all across this nation, to the unprecedented proliferation of Mosque-building in their midst. Some might have gotten that message but, I'm guessing that the majority of folks who viewed this over their morning coffee said, "Whaa-aa-at?"
Here's the background, I believe: Super-sized Mosques are being built in neighborhoods where there is currently scant demand for them but, where they are expected to soon be filled with a huge influx of Muslims, all praying five times a day. Prayer services and teachings are led by Imams of the 'religion of peace', espousing the dictates of Shariah - this is the restrictive doctrine that enforces its terms with a variety of brutal corporal punishments, including sanctioned killing. It is radical Islam's stated goal to replace the freedoms guaranteed under our Constitution of the United States of America, with an insanely rigid set of rules that must be followed to the letter by all Muslims, for fear of their own life and limb and that of their families. All infidels or non-believers are made to disappear.
I am hard put to understand how in this time of super-sensitivity to religious bigotry, this newspaper could approve a cartoon that is so blatantly offensive to Christians. Is anyone willing to bet their bottom dollar that such a cartoon would never have seen the light of day if the word had been 'Muslim' instead of 'Christian'? I'll cover that bet.
Political cartoons are ideally, supposed to combine an easily-comprehended drawing with a minimum of supporting text. If the cartoonist is sufficiently skilled at producing this delicate combination, the viewer will quickly, 'get the picture'. If on the other hand, the cartoonist lacks the ability to grasp the essence of the political situation he wants to depict, it is a given that he will not be able to translate an amorphous concept into a cartoon that will be easily understood by the average viewer. A good cartoon can be an effective tool for making a pointed statement; a bad cartoon only serves to muddle an issue by contributing to confusion on the part of those who view it.
"Viewing Lowe's stuff in the SunSentinel gives me the impression that most of the time, this guy is in over his head. And quite often he is in, waaa-ay over his head."

Soetoro and Holder Attack Legal Americans
Saul Alinski dedicated his "Rules for radical" book to Lucifer. So we should not be surprised at how Soetor0 and Coward Holder attack real Americans. They do support Traitors (Traitor Hassan), Terrorists, Hate Groups, ACORN and Black Panthers. The Liberals and so-called Moderates who put them in office are as guilty as they are. There was plenty of evidence this was the most Radical Left Wing candidate in the History of America, yet these Liberals and self-loathing Whites were too lazy to read about B. Hussein or just did not care. We will live with the results for years to come and 47% say they will re-elect him?
Obama DOJ Sues “Vocal and Aggressive” Pro Lifer
While Obama’s Justice Department dismissed a critical voter intimidation case against a radical black revolutionary group, it’s going after a pro life advocate the agency calls one of “the most vocal and aggressive anti-abortion protestors.”
Ironically, the administration claims that the pro life advocate, a Maryland man named Richard Retta, intimidated and interfered with women seeking abortions in Washington D.C.-area clinics much like members of the New Black Panther Party did to white voters during the 2008 presidential election. The difference is that the Black Panthers, clad in military attire, used weapons, racial insults and profanity to deter voters.
Judicial Watch obtained records that show political appointees at the DOJ ordered the Black Panther case dismissed after the administration colluded with leftwing groups. JW’s investigation also revealed that the official Obama appointed to head the DOJ’s civil rights division, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, lied under oath to cover up the Black Panther voter intimidation scandal.
Now Perez is pursuing a pro lifer for violating a Clinton-era law (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act) that prohibits any sort of interference with a woman seeking an abortion. Retta physically obstructed a patient and volunteer escorts attempting to enter the Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, according to a DOJ complaint filed a few days ago. He also “frequently walks very closely beside patients as they walk to the clinic” and he follows them into the street and oncoming traffic. Sometimes he yells at them, the feds claim.
In announcing the lawsuit, Perez vowed to pursue similar cases, saying that “individuals who seek to obtain or provide reproductive health services have the right to do so without encountering hazardous physical obstructions.” If one unarmed guy is considered such a threat, then a barrier of big, muscular, armed men intimidating voters during a presidential election certainly merits attention from the agency charged with enforcing the law and defending the interests of the United States. Yet that case got dismissed.

The Messiah Gives Our Money to Hate Groups
Barry Soetoro continues to cry about Debt problems. Well, maybe if he would not give billions who Hate Groups (La Raza, ACORN, etc) and People that were in the Shirley Sherrod Black farmer scam, there would be less debt problems. This is reparations and fuel the poor by taking away from the hard working middle class. Incompetent, Racist and vile is the only way to describe this failing Messiah.
Obama Gives Discriminated Hispanic, Women Farmers $1.3 Billion
A year after giving black farmers $1.25 billion to settle discrimination allegations against the government, the Obama Administration is promoting another huge minority cash giveaway for Hispanic and women farmers.
It’s part of the president’s continued efforts to write a new chapter for civil rights and resolve all allegations of past discrimination in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), according to an agency announcement issued this week. Women and Hispanics who feel the government discriminated against them when seeking USDA farm loans are encouraged to apply for cash to make up for Uncle Sam’s wrongdoing.
In all, the agency is allocating $1.33 billion in “compensation” for women and Hispanics in addition to $160 million in “farm debt relief.” Hispanic or women farmers who provide additional proof and meet other requirements can receive a $50,000 reward, according to the USDA announcement. The goal is to ensure that any Hispanic or woman farmer or rancher who alleges discrimination is aware of the money pot, says the USDA official in charge of the program.
To get the word out the feds have launched an impressive bilingual advertising and public relations campaign that includes national outreach tours by top USDA officials as well as Justice Department bigwigs because that agency is sort of overseeing it. The cash giveaway tour was in South Florida this week assuring that there is no filing fee or other costs to claimants who apply for money.
Those who can’t attend the USDA/DOJ outreach rallies can always register online or contact toll free a special Farmer and Rancher Call Center that will mail out a packet. The USDA has also created videos, in English and Spanish, to promote the program and it published a special flyer advertising the administration's latest civil rights reparation project.

This Schultz is vile and Allen West tells the truth in his email. Why would he have to apologize for telling the truth and protecting his constituents. The Debbie dirtbag Schultz types are out to destroy the Middle Class. She does back Obamacare right?

Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!
I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.
You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!
Steadfast and Loyal
Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)

MORT's Meanderings:
Debbie 'Whatevah' Schmutz:
Trashbag in HeelsObama the Wise, knew precisely what he was doing when he pulled MizzSchmutz from the primordial ooze of the Florida Everglades and anointed her as the Dominate-tricks of the Democrat National Committee. Screaming-Mimi Schmutz is Howard Dean, in bitchy drag. Ain't she cool?
'Debbie Does Malicious' might be effective against run-of-the-mill Republicans however, when she pokes a finger in the eye of Retired U.S. Army LTC. Allen B. West, now Congressman West from Florida's District 22, she has to be ready for the heavy artillery he brings with him. MizzSchmutz will soon realize that the biggest gun Cong. West brings to a fight, is his superior intellect.
She and her sycophant supporters might be under the misapprehension that the target of her verbal venom Congressman West, has stolen the mainstay of Democrat rhetoric, name-calling. If that's what they think, they couldn't be more wrong. His use of descriptive terms such as, 'vicious' and 'despicable', in his now famous e-mail sent to her following her attack on him from the floor of the House of Representatives, is simply a spot-on accurate description of her behavior. Take another look at the videotape of her venomous diatribe. It is pure hate-speech on steroids. It's ugly.
Quite obviously, DWS is the designated leader of the orchestrated Democrat attack on Allen West by Obama and his band of freedom thieves. They are in mortal fear of this freshman Congressman. They know that this man has absolutely no fear of America's sworn enemies, whether they come garbed in Islamic cover-ups dating from the seventh century or, in finely-tailored suits accessorized by Gucci. The very mention of the name Allen West, strikes terror in their souls. Delicious!
They also know they cannot win on the merits of their leftist Liberalism. They've practiced their cruel tax & spend policies every time they've been able to dupe a majority of voters into handing over the control of our Federal Government. And every time, these policies have sunk us deeper in debt and indentured a large segment of our population to the government in the form of unconscionable entitlements. Plus, the implementation of these misguided, bankrupting policies inevitably leads to ever more wide-spread corruption. This particular brand of corruption seems to permeate even the very cornerstones of every Government edifice in our Nation's Capital.
And so, Debbie Whatevah and Obama Howevah and their legions of something-for-nothing complicit thieves of our freedoms and Liberty, are obliged to resort to their favorite tactics-of-choice: bald-faced lies; class warfare; racism; deceitful rhetoric; character assassination; name-calling and of course their all-time favorite - vicious verbage.
Rave on, Lunatics. You've poked your finger in the eye of the wrong retired-warrior-turned-Congressman, this time. Get ready to be out-maneuvered, out-smarted, over-whelmed, out-fought and mortally-wounded. You've initiated this battle and it might very well turn out to be the Waterloo of the Democrat Party. The only battle ribbons you can hope to be awarded for your efforts will be Band-Aids. And sadly for you and yours, they'll be awarded post-humously - - - so to speak.
Can you hear me now?
