Democrats Are Politically Clueless
Obama Appointed 34 Czars and the American People re-elect him?
In Barry Soetoro's own words, during the campaign:
Sept, 17 2007 to SEIU: “[Y]our agenda’s been my agenda[.]“
November 2007 to ACORN: “I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career.”
December 2007 addressing ACORN and other community organizations: “[W]e’re going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda, We’re going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America.”
January 5, 2008 to SEIU “I’ve been working with the SEIU before I was elected to anything … We are going to paint the nation purple with SEIU. SEIU, I’m glad you are with me. Let’s together change the country. SEIU! SEIU!”
January 17, 2008 “[I]f somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can, it’s just that it will bankrupt them…under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”
May 16, 2008 in Oregon: “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK…That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”
June 3, 2008 in St Paul Minnesota “This was the moment — this was the time –when we came together to remake this great nation”
July 13, 2008 to La Raza: “[W]e rise and fall together as one people…And together, we won’t just win an election — we will transform this nation.”
October 12, 2008 to Joe the Plumber: “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
October 30, 2008 at the University of Mississippi, Columbia: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America[.]“

Allen West's Truthful Words make him Top Democratic Target
Support Allen West - A Conservative With The Courage To Speak The Truth
Allen West is clearly committed to protecting America and handing down an exceptional America to future generations. He is not afraid to stand up to President Obama and the failed policies of the radical left. Allen West's effectiveness has caused Washington liberals to take notice. He has become their top target for defeat. We need your support to prepare for the fight.
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee have purchased more than $650,000 of air time in an attempt to distort my record and smear our conservative principles. A San Francisco-based liberal PAC has opened a “Take Down Allen West” Headquarters in our district. And SEIU aligned groups are even advertising on Craigslist, trying to entice people to join their left-wing rent-a-mob for $10 per hour.

Obama Sides With Union Thugs
Barry Soetoro needs Unions as the Union will employ the most inefficient Thugs.
Paul Munsch is the owner of St. Louis Paving in St. Louis, Missouri. He and his employees have faced years of bullying by the union bosses and Thugs with whom President Obama continues to side.
Why hasn't the MSM (Media supporting Marxism) reported on the Union Thugs racist attack on the Black Guy in the wheel chair? Barry doe snot care for the middle class or poor black person. He just wants their vote so he and his Food Nazi can travel extravagantly on our dime.

B.U. Before Unions
My education started in a public school in the mid 30's. Technology was a stick with graphite on one end and a piece of rubber at the other end. It was called a pencil
and used to put numbers and letters of the alphabet on paper. Advanced technology was an invention called a fountain pen, so we didn't have to dip a straight pen into
an inkwell every third or forth letter. A large slate hung on the wall and a piece of chalk was our PC screen; fingers our calculators.
Secretarial work, nursing and teaching were the few choices women had for employment. The latter two were chosen as professions, not for money but dedication, because we were in a deep depression and the families of their patients and students were barely eking out a living.
Public sector unions were unheard of and beneath these honorable professions that would shake down the town and add to the expenses of the community.
I was not in a unique position, being the rule rather than the exception. So why have so many in similar straights of this era become successful and exceptional?
In the case of education, it didn't take tons of money, unions and their entitlement demands to motivate excellence and dedication, because a teacher's first concern was about their students and today, all the union icing on the cake doesn't add a fig to a better education.
In any job, in order to keep it, you must produce. In those dark days tenure was an unknown word and there was no life time guarantee of employment.

Obama's Juggling Act
When I was a kid, I can remember going to the circus and seeing a juggling act.
The juggler started out with 3 balls, then added another to the applause of the audience. He then added another; spurred on by the applause, another then another until there were too many balls to juggle and the balls scattered everywhere.
Washington is a circus and the juggler is the President. When he entered the center
ring, our national debt was approximately 10.625 trillion dollars. Spurred on by liberal left applause, the debt has risen to almost 14.082 trillion. Almost at the point when it will be impossible to manage, especially when the juggler promises to add more to his act.
If he does, the balls will most certainly scatter, and the tax payer. his children and his children's children will be left to pick up the pieces.

Tree Huggers
On January 8th, a depraved man shot and wounded Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords,
slaying six others, among them a judge and a 9 year old little girl. The very vocal Liberals wasted no time accusing conservative talk show and the 2nd amendment as the cause in vitriolic terms, that hasn't ceased despite useless rhetoric to quash it.
If you listen to them, it won't be long before we have to walk to the market or butcher store and ask the butcher to tear a piece of our choice of meat off the carcass and learn how to dice vegetables, peel fruit and eat with our hands, because utensils are dangerous.
I recall on February 12th, Maksim Gelman went on a rampage, stabbing to death his step-father, ex-girlfriend and her mother, running down a pedestrian in a stolen car and slashing four other innocent bystanders. By doing a web search on stabbings, you will be surprised to learn how many more stabbings there are than shootings.
If the Tucson massacre is an indication that guns caused the Tucson tragedy, then cars and knives have to be included for causing the slaughter in New York. If liberal mind set blames guns, then cars and knives must also be outlawed.
When tree huggers accept the fact that these are weapons of choice, not instruments looking for somebody to use them. It will be nice if they focus on depriving Islamic Sharia-ists of rocks.

Union Dos and Don'ts
The fiasco spilling out of Wisconsin into other states shouts for economic reform.
We voted to have our elected official running for, not running from solving the
financial predicament many states are in.
Much of today's improved working conditions can be attributed to the unions, but
they have also created an imbalance between the public and private sector. It is
not unreasonable to ask the public sector to contribute toward their retirement
fund and health services. Collective bargaining for government employees has to
be altered to eliminate the pork, or earmark that eat up municipal, state and
federal budgets. One example is when fire fighters and policemen, through collective
bargaining, are allowed to accumulate unreasonable overtime to enhance the figure
their retirement pay will be based on. In many cases it is more than what their base
pay was before retirement.
This sector of labor doesn't create wealth, it consumes it like a Socialistic state.
Margaret Thatcher said, "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run
out of other people's money." Those in office now should volunteer for a ten
percent good faith reduction in their compensation. Even if serving one term,
an elected official can receive full retirement pay. This is not right.
Depending in what office they hold and for how long, a reasonable vestment period
should be pro- rated on a 20 year measure to determine compensation.
The thugs infesting the unions, pouring millions into the Democrat party, have
a strangle hold on the government and they don't want to let go!

why are they not proud to stand by it?

Soetoro's Group ACORN, Takes Millions of Tax Dollars!
We have some more disturbing reports regarding Barry Soetoro's group ACORN. When will the rest of Americans (other than Conservatives) realize this guy and his Thug gangs are a bunch of crooks. Most of us are busy trying to make a living and these punks sit around, smoking their dope, rigging elections, committing crime after crime, and getting funding from USA tax dollars. RACE BAITERS ACORN, the SEIU Thugs and people pushing Global Warming Fraud, have to be stopped and de-funded NOW!
Let's not forget Barry's threats, of his Civilian National Security FORCE!
‘ACORN Youth Union’ Chapters Were Funded by Justice Department, Says GAO
By Terence P. Jeffrey
(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Justice Department gave a group called the New York Agency for Community Affairs a grant of $135,130 in fiscal year 2005 to “provide youth leadership training to students at select New York City schools, form ‘ACORN Youth Union’ chapters, and coordinate student campaigns to address issues such as school funding, neighborhood safety, and school governance,” according to a Government Accountability Office report released this week.
The GAO report says that in fiscal years 2005 through 2009 the federal government gave ACORN and what the GAO calls “potentially related organizations” more than $40 million in federal funds.
According to the report, eight other agencies joined the Justice Department in providing federal funding to ACORN and “potentially related organizations.” These included the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Treasury Department, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), NeighborWorks, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
“Nine agencies—HUD, DHS, DOJ, EAC, NeighorWorks, CPB, EPA, Treasury, and NEA—have identified approximately $37.5 million in direct federal grants and at least $2.9 million in subawards (i.e. grants and contracts awarded by federal grantees) to ACORN or potentially related organizations, primarily for housing-related purposes during fiscal years 2005 through 2009,” says the report.
The GAO explains that for purposes of the report it asked 31 federal agencies that it queried about potential funding of ACORN and related organizations to use a list of organizations created by the Congressional Research Service (CRS). “To enable the 31 agencies, for the purposes of this report, to determine whether they had provided funding to ACORN or any potentially related organizations, we suggested that they search their grant and procurement databases using the organizations identified by CRS as potentially having a relationship with ACORN,” said the report. “We selected the CRS list in part because counsel for ACORN identified the majority of organizations on the list as having some sort of relationship to ACORN.”
The Justice Department grant to the New York Agency for Community Affairs was initially reported by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General when it issued a report last November on Justice Department grants to ACORN and ACORN-affiliated organizations.
The IG report said the grant in question was the result of a congressional earmark, and specifically mentioned that one purpose was to form “ACORN Youth Union” chapters.
“In addition, we identified one direct grant of DOJ funds to an ACORN affiliate, the New York Agency for Community Affairs, Inc. (NYACA),” said the IG report. “We considered NYACA to be an affiliate of ACORN because it acted as a fiscal agent for ACORN, engaged in substantial financial transactions with ACORN, and DOJ grant documentation showed that ACORN was a major partner in the grant program being funded. In FY 2005, NYACA received a grant of $138,130 resulting from a congressional earmark. The purposes of the grant to NYACA were to provide youth leadership training to students at select New York City schools; form “ACORN Youth Union” chapters; and coordinate student campaigns to address issues such as school funding, neighborhood safety, and school governance.”
The grant was given out by the Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP). The application for the grant, according to the IG report, said the applicant intended to use the federal money in "building a base of trained student leaders."
“The NYACA’s program title identified in the grant award document was ‘ACORN Youth Organizing,’” said the IG report. “The award period for the grant was from September 1, 2005, to August 31, 2006. The grant program narrative submitted with the application described the program’s goals as: (1) building a base of trained student leaders, (2) winning specific improvements and policy changes, and (3) increasing post-high school opportunities for young people. According to the budget detail submitted with the application, the award funds were to be used entirely for personnel and benefits for the following positions: (1) a part-time Executive Director, (2) a part-time Brooklyn Schools Organizer, (3) a part-time Brooklyn Lead Organizer, and (4) two full-time Youth Organizers. According to OJP, NYACA received all the grant funds with the last draw-down in September 2006.”
Congress included language in its fiscal 2010 spending bills that block funding for ACORN. "Congress passed povisions restricting the funding of ACORN or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or allied organizations in the fiscal year 2010 continuing resolutions, which were followed by several fiscal 2010 appropriations acts that prohibited any appropriated funds from being awarded to various ACORN or ACORN-related organizations," said the GAO.

Mob Rule From SEIU & Soetero Thugs

Soetero's Thugs allowed to run wild.
It appears Barry Soetero's ACORN and Union Thugs are at it again. Please read below as Union Thugs traumatize a 14 year old child. If this was happening to a Will Smith, Al Sharpton or Barry Soetero child, would it be Racist????
I guess this shows how high Unemployment is since these people are able to protest all day.
The portion below is by Investors Business Daily. One of the only Media outlets who would tell the truth about Obama before the election.
Labor: Does belonging to the service workers' union give you the right to invade private homes, terrorize children and smear anyone questioning such tactics? Apparently so, based on recent events in Maryland.
On May 16, Washington, D.C., police escorted 14 busloads full of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) members at least part of the way to storm the Chevy Chase, Md., home of Bank of America's deputy legal counsel, Greg Baer.
Some 500 protestors affiliated with SEIU and their allies in the community organizing group National Political Action (NPA) trampled his lawn, blocked his doorway to his home and screamed "greed." Legally, it was burglary, trespassing and, possibly, assault.
But Maryland cops didn't enforce the law. And Baer had to brave the insult-hurling mob alone to rescue his 14-year old son who, home alone, had locked himself in the bathroom in fear.
But there was one thing these thugs didn't count on — a credible journalist next door who reported what happened.
Fortune Magazine's Nina Easton wrote about what happened and asked SEIU spokesman Stephen Lerner to explain.
His response was chilling: "People in powerful corporations seem to think they can insulate themselves from the damage they are doing," Lerner said, implying that physical intimidation was indeed the intent.
Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised. Aggressive, personalized protests have been a fact of life in the world of unions and community organizers influenced by the radical philosophy of Saul Alinsky.
But they're now growing in frequency as SEIU officials top the White House visitors' list and union influence grows.
It started in earnest last year, when SEIU thugs gave a "beat down" to a black trinket seller at a tea party protest — with no consequences.
It also was seen when the SEIU teamed up with its community-organizing ally Acorn to set up bus harassment tours of AIG executives' homes during last year's insurance bailout.
In recent weeks in New York and Washington, SEIU and NPA protestors invaded and shut down banks, frightening customers.
What's important here is that these mobs act with near impunity and lash out at critics like Easton. What Stern calls "the persuasion of power" is identical to the violent means of maintaining political order in Cuba and Venezuela.
It's going full blast in the U.S. now as the party in power loses popularity. That's a bad sign that democracy itself is under attack.

Those Wearing Union Label Are Real Thugs
By Michelle Malkin
Who are the real thugs? Democrats attack congressional town hall protesters as "Brown Shirts" — likening taxpayer activists across the country to Hitler's storm troopers. But it's the Big Labor hoodlums clad in identical purple shirts — the uniform of Service Employees International Union members — who own the mob label.
Margarida Jorge, a former SEIU organizing director who now serves as national field director for the deep-pocketed, left-wing coalition Health Care for America Now, sent out a memo to her foot soldiers last week on how to counter ObamaCare opponents.
"You must bring enough people to drown them out and to cover all our bases so as to marginalize their disruptive tactics," she exhorted.
Local SEIU chapters echoed the call to brass knuckles. "It is critical that our members with real, personal stories about the need for access to quality, affordable care come out in strong numbers to drown out their voices," urged the leaders of SEIU's Local 2001 in Connecticut, according to a memo exposed by the Weekly Standard's Mary Katharine Ham.
At town hall meetings in St. Louis and Tampa, Fla., last week, purple-shirted SEIU members engaged in physical confrontations with critics of the Democrats' health care takeover plans.
Assault victim Kenneth Gladney, beaten while passing out "Don't Tread on Me" flags, is turning the tables on his SEIU assailants. The black conservative activist announced Tuesday that he's filing hate crime charges against the union goons in Missouri.
These were the first outbreaks of violence since the summer recess began. And that's no coincidence. SEIU President Andy Stern, the militant social worker turned union heavy, boasts of his organizing philosophy: "(W)e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn't work, we use the persuasion of power."
Shock Troops
Last April, SEIU bused in hundreds of Purple Shirts to a labor meeting in Detroit, where the union was battling a competitor over representation of nurses and health care workers in Ohio. The SEIU invaders ambushed the conference, sending one attendee to the hospital with a bloodied head and wounding several others.
The competing union filed a restraining order against the SEIU. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney responded, "There is no justification — none — for the violent attack orchestrated by SEIU."
California Nurses Association Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro condemned the violence: "There is an ugly pattern here of physical abuse and tactics of intimidation that have no place in either our labor movement or a civilized society."
SEIU and Stern's shock troops have similarly bullied companies from private equity firms to Burger King to food management company Aramark to security provider Wackenhut Services, who have resisted SEIU's attempts to organize their workers. The Purple People have organized aggressive protests and a "War on Greed" campaign to pound the employers into submission.
In Oakland, Stern and his Washington crew imposed a trusteeship on a 150,000-member local that had publicly opposed SEIU strong-arm tactics. D.C. headquarters accused the local — known as SEIU United Healthcare Workers West (UHW West) — of financial malpractice and misconduct.
Can't Be Trusted
The local fought back, charging the Beltway union leaders with manufacturing the allegations to retaliate and to distract from Washington mismanagement. The UHW West president, Sal Rosselli, quit the SEIU executive board and formed a new union in February 2009, which declared: "We don't trust them with our contracts, we don't trust them with our dues — we just don't trust them."
Team Obama and the Democrats — who together received more than $60 million in SEIU independent expenditure funds — remain mum about SEIU thuggery. Obama, after all, promised the SEIU on the campaign trail: "We look after each other!"
Accordingly, SEIU-endorsed Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius openly praised the union's drowning-out campaign against ObamaCare critics in a teleconference call last week.
She urged her "brothers and sisters" to keep doing what they were doing. SEIU health care chair Dennis Rivera of New York then railed against the "radical fringe" of "right wingers," whom he accused of "terrorist tactics."

Margarida Jorge, a former SEIU organizing director who now serves as national field director for the deep-pocketed, left-wing coalition Health Care for America Now, sent out a memo to her foot soldiers last week on how to counter ObamaCare opponents.
"You must bring enough people to drown them out and to cover all our bases so as to marginalize their disruptive tactics," she exhorted.
Local SEIU chapters echoed the call to brass knuckles. "It is critical that our members with real, personal stories about the need for access to quality, affordable care come out in strong numbers to drown out their voices," urged the leaders of SEIU's Local 2001 in Connecticut, according to a memo exposed by the Weekly Standard's Mary Katharine Ham.
At town hall meetings in St. Louis and Tampa, Fla., last week, purple-shirted SEIU members engaged in physical confrontations with critics of the Democrats' health care takeover plans.
Assault victim Kenneth Gladney, beaten while passing out "Don't Tread on Me" flags, is turning the tables on his SEIU assailants. The black conservative activist announced Tuesday that he's filing hate crime charges against the union goons in Missouri.
These were the first outbreaks of violence since the summer recess began. And that's no coincidence. SEIU President Andy Stern, the militant social worker turned union heavy, boasts of his organizing philosophy: "(W)e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn't work, we use the persuasion of power."
Shock Troops
Last April, SEIU bused in hundreds of Purple Shirts to a labor meeting in Detroit, where the union was battling a competitor over representation of nurses and health care workers in Ohio. The SEIU invaders ambushed the conference, sending one attendee to the hospital with a bloodied head and wounding several others.
The competing union filed a restraining order against the SEIU. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney responded, "There is no justification — none — for the violent attack orchestrated by SEIU."
California Nurses Association Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro condemned the violence: "There is an ugly pattern here of physical abuse and tactics of intimidation that have no place in either our labor movement or a civilized society."
SEIU and Stern's shock troops have similarly bullied companies from private equity firms to Burger King to food management company Aramark to security provider Wackenhut Services, who have resisted SEIU's attempts to organize their workers. The Purple People have organized aggressive protests and a "War on Greed" campaign to pound the employers into submission.
In Oakland, Stern and his Washington crew imposed a trusteeship on a 150,000-member local that had publicly opposed SEIU strong-arm tactics. D.C. headquarters accused the local — known as SEIU United Healthcare Workers West (UHW West) — of financial malpractice and misconduct.
Can't Be Trusted
The local fought back, charging the Beltway union leaders with manufacturing the allegations to retaliate and to distract from Washington mismanagement. The UHW West president, Sal Rosselli, quit the SEIU executive board and formed a new union in February 2009, which declared: "We don't trust them with our contracts, we don't trust them with our dues — we just don't trust them."
Team Obama and the Democrats — who together received more than $60 million in SEIU independent expenditure funds — remain mum about SEIU thuggery. Obama, after all, promised the SEIU on the campaign trail: "We look after each other!"
Accordingly, SEIU-endorsed Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius openly praised the union's drowning-out campaign against ObamaCare critics in a teleconference call last week.
She urged her "brothers and sisters" to keep doing what they were doing. SEIU health care chair Dennis Rivera of New York then railed against the "radical fringe" of "right wingers," whom he accused of "terrorist tactics."
Savor the Purple Shirts playing pot-and-kettle.
