Student Defends Criticism Of Obama After Being Berated By Teacher

Good for this student. He has a lot of courage to say the things he said. Hope more speak out like him.


Should Romney Pick A Hispanic VP On Ethnicity Alone?

Mitt Romney with supporters 2 SC Should Romney pick a Hispanic VP on ethnicity alone?

Pandering to Hispanics will be a serious mistake for the presumptive Republican nominee. A new Public Policy Poll (PPP) – a self acknowledged Democrat surveying firm – of a large number of Hispanic Florida Colorado and New Mexico respondents provides a clear warning for “What’s His Name” not to pick a Vice Presidential candidate merely based on ethnicity.

The poll results make it very clear that Hispanics should be appealed to on the same grounds as everyone else who realizes we are in danger of losing our country. It found the economy is the number one issue Hispanics will be thinking about as they go to the polls.

In both Colorado and New Mexico, when asked for a reaction to a Hispanic Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Hispanics said they would still vote 2 to 1 for Barack Obama over the presumptive GOP candidate. In Florida, the spread is much closer and probably reflects Hispanic pride in Marco Rubio, but Sunshine State Hispanics would still vote 52/44 for Obama.

Nevertheless, the news for Republicans in regards to the Hispanic vote is not necessarily bad. While there is a shortage of current data on the percentage of Hispanics who are enthusiastic to vote, the best available information (collected last November) shows just 38% of Hispanic voters enthusiastic to vote. Moreover, not only is Hispanic voter enthusiasm down to dangerous levels for Obama; the raw number of Hispanics who are even registered to vote has fallen by some two million just since 2008.

Given the great likelihood of those Hispanics who are enthusiastic to vote being Republican supporters, the best course for the presumptive Republican candidate to follow in regard to Hispanics would be to not add a Hispanic to his ticket unless he/she appeals to a wide spectrum of voters as an acceptable choice strictly on his/her merits.

At this point, we don’t know if a Marco Rubio or anyone else can appeal to voters absent a Hispanic background. That remains to be determined. Until then, no one should be offered the Republican VP spot merely on ethnicity.

New Black Panthers: Whites ‘Should Be Thankful We’re Not Hanging Crackers By Nooses’

We seriously should pray for this “organization.” They have clearly lost their way in life.

New Black Panthers: Obama Showing ‘Mercy’ In Voter Intimidation Case

Unbelievable. Thank God these people are far from being a mainstream political organization.

Looking For Some Good Anti-Obama Humor?

NewsBusted is a good weekly video to check out if you are looking for a good laugh in these tough (Obama) times.

If Obama Is Ousted In November, Thank Florida Governor Scott

Rick Scott SC 300x260 If Obama is ousted in November, thank Florida Governor Scott

As the State of Florida continues to release evidence in the Trayvon Martin case, it becomes increasingly clear that prosecutors will have little chance of convincing an honest jury that George Zimmerman is guilty of 2nd degree murder.

On May 15th, a medical report submitted by Zimmerman’s family doctor revealed that, on the night of the shooting the accused murderer suffered “…a ‘closed fracture’ of [the] nose, a pair of black eyes, two lacerations to the back of [the] head and a minor back injury…”  Zimmerman was treated by police at the scene and sought medical attention the next morning. (1)

Yet none of this information was included in the Affidavit of Probable Cause submitted by State Attorney Angela Corey as grounds for her charge of 2nd degree murder. Neither was the fact that witnesses testified to State investigators that Martin had attacked Zimmerman, or that he knocked Zimmerman to the ground, jumped on top of him and drove his head into the sidewalk as Zimmerman cried for help. The remarkably one-sided Affidavit simply states, “Zimmerman confronted Martin and a struggle ensued.” (2)

Alan Dershowitz states Corey “…has a terrible reputation in Florida for always overcharging…”  In fact it’s Dershowitz’s contention that Corey was specifically chosen by Florida Governor Rick Scott to “…stop race riots.”  Norm Wolfinger, the original prosecutor in the Martin case, intended to present all the known facts of the shooting to a grand jury. Had the exculpatory evidence now known to support Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense persuaded that body to bring no charge, Florida blacks would have almost certainly responded with state wide rioting. No doubt, many other portions of the United States would have joined in. (3)

In replacing Wolfinger with the “hang-em-high” Angela Corey, Governor Scott was playing to professional race baiters and media sycophants around the nation. And the unsuspecting Corey played her role of avenging angel to the hilt, stating at a nationally televised press conference that she had promised “…those sweet parents [of Trayvon] we would get answers to all of their questions…” and “seek justice for Trayvon…” (4)

But make no mistake, rioting was not necessarily Scott’s principle concern! For thanks to 24/7 pro-Trayvon  coverage by the national media, this killing stood to play an important role in the election of 2012.

Millions of blacks, many who might have never voted before, went to the polls for Obama in 2008. But Obama was having difficulty reanimating that support this year. He needed a hook to fire up black voters and in their sob story coverage of the Martin shooting, the media gave him one, complete with the race-baiting appeal Obama had used so often during his career.

However,  with his selection of Angela Corey, Scott effectively killed Obama’s chances of using the death of Trayvon Martin in a national appeal to black voters. Her manufacture of a murder charge against Zimmerman took the wind from Obama’s “us against Whitey” sails. It allowed Scott to defer any chance of the Manchurian Candidate making political hay until 2013, well after the election. And by then, it won’t matter as Obama will be unemployed.

Of course there’s a bigger loser than Obama in this political charade and that’s George Zimmerman. He is a true pawn, innocent of the crime he is accused of committing by virtue of a clearly genuine plea of self-defense. Yet politicians have exposed him to the whim of jury members who might be intimidated into pronouncing a guilty verdict simply because they fear reprisal from black thugs across the country.

It’s bad enough American citizens lose their liberty to unconstitutional laws passed by self-serving politicians. George Zimmerman might lose his liberty simply because it’s an election year.

Lou Dobbs Mystified By Obama-birth ‘Taboo’

Lou Dobbs asks a question we all ask: ”I don’t know where the national media was in 2008 – or now”. Dobbs will likely take hits from the left for speaking about the Obama Birth taboo.

Arizona Secretary Of State Ken Bennett May Not Allow Obama On Ballot?

This is great news, and an important step in our quest for justice. To keep Barack Obama off the ballot because he is ineligible to be President of the United States would help expose the series of frauds he has committed.

Edward Klein’s ‘The Amateur’ Book Review


I bought Edward Klein’s The Amateur  the day it came out; the day Klein revealed on Sean Hannity’s radio show that he had audio tapes of the pastor that Obama threw under the bus, Jeremiah Wright, stating that in 2008 Obama crony Eric Whitaker had offered him $150K to keep his mouth shut until after the election. Contrary to the naysayers of Klein’s previous exposé on Hillary Clinton, critics’ ad hominem attacks on Klein regarding The Amateur this time are ringing false, as the Top Ten slot on Amazon’s best seller list shows. Klein names names, interviewing over two hundred people for the book, including Obama’s two-decades-long former doctor, who makes the claim that Obama is basically a hollow shell, with no real emotion, and no connection to people. Klein “has the goods,” so to speak: in regard to the Eric Whitaker bribery, it is not merely a hidden microphone that caught Wright stating this. It is within an open, 3 1/2 hour interview, where Wright not only states he was bribed, but has the email to prove it. Wright makes other statements, such as Obama’s Muslim background, his fickle belief in Christianity, and his two-decades-long allegiance to Trinity United Church of Christ for purely political reasons.

I downloaded the book to my Kindle within hours of its release, and read it over a day and a half period, only pausing to sleep. Probably the two most enjoyable-to-read revelations are that 1. Bill Clinton urged Hillary to challenge Obama in 2012.  2. The Kennedy clan despise Obama, despite deceased Ted Kennedy’s tireless support of the Community Organizer-in-Chief.

An anecdote is described where Bill and Hillary Clinton are having an argument that took place over several days (a screaming match actually, with a dozen people present); that, because Obama had basically destroyed the economy, caused the downgrade of the U.S.’s credit rating for the first time in history, etc., etc.; that Obama was, according to Bill Clinton, an “Amateur” (this is the source of the title of the book); that Hillary needed to challenge Obama in 2012 in order to save the country from sliding off the cliff.

The Kennedy clan anecdote is jaw-dropping. All of the Kennedy clan (save Robert Kennedy, Jr.) had stood behind Obama in 2008. But after Obama’s coronation and repeated miffs by the First Family: 1. The Obamas ignored an invitation to the Kennedy Compound while vacation at Martha’s Vineyard. 2. Michelle Obama treated Caroline Kennedy (daughter of JFK) like hired help while at the White House, shaking her hand coldly, taking a quick photo, and making a quick exit—after these and other miffs the Kennedy royalty at a pow wow had had enough (at one point Robert Kennedy, Jr. shattered a glass in his hand) and got the message from the Obamas loud and clear: rich people are evil, and wanted no more to do with the former community organizers.

Contrary to Obama’s ’Attack Watch‘ claim of the book being totally discredited (whereby they don’t actually reference anything in the book, but simply go on an ad hominem attack), the book is meticulously researched and at the same time highly readable. It is at the time of this writing #9 on Amazon’s bestseller list, and hopefully it will reach #1, whereby at that point the majority of Americans will have read about the current “Amateur” in office being completely unqualified for the job; and realize that when a person is unqualified for a job, are incompetent, that the only remedy is either resignation or being fired.

I vote for being fired.

Outrage: Teacher Yells At Student Over Question About Obama!

We have a problem in America’s classrooms. This teacher is a classic example of what is wrong. This teacher is being protected, when she should be fired. This is why I removed my daughter from the public schools.

Here is the blow by blow from the Blaze:

“Didn’t Obama bully somebody, though?”
The teacher started to get angry and said:

“Not to my knowledge.”
A couple of students relayed the story about Obama admitting that he bullied someone when he was younger. And that seemed to light the fuse on his teacher’s anger. A couple of the students exchanged words with the angry teacher.

“Stop! Stop! Because there’s no comparison. He’s running for president. Obama is the president.”
As one student attempted to argue for a fair, two-sided debate on the history of the candidates, he was shouted down and talked over by the teacher. She continued:

“You got to realize, this man is wanting to be what Obama is. There’s no comparison.”
Once again, the students pressed for equal discussion of the histories of both men, with one saying:

“If you’re gonna talk trash about one side, you gotta talk trash about the other.”
The teacher just seemed to dig her heels in deeper and press her defense of Obama telling the defiant teen:

“You will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.”
Again the student persisted and invoked his First Amendment right.

“I’ll say what I want.”
The still unidentified teacher read the student her rules…her Obama rules.

“Not about him, you won’t!”
The back and forth continued and the most strident of the two students reminded his teacher that President Bush was constantly treated to negative statements about him while he was in office:

“Whenever Bush was president, everybody talked sh-t about him.”
To which the teacher responded:

“Because he was sh-tty.”
The social studies educator went on for a full minute with more ranting, saying that people were arrested for saying derogatory things about President Bush. The student correctly reminded the teacher that opinions are protected, but you cannot be arrested unless you threaten the president.
