  1. Maybe it would help if we all pretend this current ( President ) doesn’t exist. Then again, I’m supposing that won’t work either. Any suggestions out there? ……….. Anybody?………… It’s desperation time here. Maybe a real good Magician could just make him disappear. Not just another illusion either. We’ve had enough illusions from this administration to last a lifetime already.

    • I have a suggestion but can’t say it here. It is what we all wish.

    • SOS! I sincerely hope we will not wait until this administration has completely nullified our Constitution before we stand up and fight. I am hearing so many people saying it’s “hopeless”… and yes, If we resign ourselves to that way of thinking, it most certainly is. If we don’t use our voice today, we will most assuredly be reloading our guns tomorrow. I understand many, many, MANY patriotic Americans are willing to fight and die for freedom and liberty, and just as I understand that we have no other choice, I also understand they “don’t mind if we do”. So if there is any way to derail this war-train peacefully, we must try. The treasonous crimes of this administration have been overlooked for far too long. Someone must be made an example of.. our government apparently needs to be reminded that it works for the people and NOT the other way around. If our “Representatives” continue to refuse to represent the people, it can only be assumed, they are complicit in these acts of treason and should be removed from their offices as well. Be heard today, or watch your fellow Americans be herded tomorrow. I’m talking about my family and yours.. remember~ “the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”. If there is any hope of a peaceful resolution, it is through some action, aside from simply loading our guns and waiting for their next tyrannical move.. they ARE moving forward and I assure you, each step will be more horrific than the last. We must advance as well. For peace-sake please sign, please share >> http://www.change.org/petitions/save-our-ship

      • Abby – We must face reality. The Senate will never convict Obama for these crimes, nor will the House ever Impeach, unless you add the most important thing which is his true Achilles Heal that is so large it extends to his crotch. His birth certificate and selective service registration card are law enforcement confirmed forgeries and he is using a social security number that was issued to someone else and failed to pass E-verify, yet no court will allow discovery to take place that would legally expose this usurper and the criminal enterprise behind him.

        There is no act of treason more life threatening to our Republic and beneficial to our enemies than having this agent of foreign and unknown allegiance transform our Republic into something more Marxist/Islamic to his liking, than his current holding of the unchallenged and unchecked powers of a President and Commander In Chief Of Our Military Forces.

        This is the most critical breach of national security this country has faced since its founding and now that the Supreme Court has flatly refused to allow discovery to proceed in a legal manner (Bowen v Noonan), it leaves only one realistic and peaceful course of action and that is for the Republican House, while it still retains majority status, to immediately exercise their Constitutional Authority and Responsibility by opening an investigation and appointing a special prosecutor that will pull up this usurpers pants leg and take a good close look at that Achilles Heal Obama and his criminal regime have spent over 5 million dollars in legal fees to keep hidden from the public.

        Once the true and authentic records of Obama are in hand and publicly exposed, the criminal regime behind this man will also know their time is up and the final step of an impeachment trial by the Senate will likely not be necessary because the truth will be so clear and devastating his criminal regime will prefer to dump him ASAP, as did the Republicans with Nixon, and salvage what they can of the tremendous advances they have made thus far, such as Obamacare and his SCOTUS appointments etc.

        It can be just that simple if only the House Republicans were not such treasonous cowards. What reason could possibly justify such cowardice??? Fear of what, compared to this treason and the coming Obama cataclysm.

        If our Constitution based Republic is to survive, we patriots must unite on this one issue and force these cowards to immediately begin this course of action. They are our office of last resort, short of armed revolution, in view of Obama’s coming cataclysm for which the DHS has determined it will need (and purchased) 2.2 billion rounds of hollow point ammunition. Time is very, very, short.

      • In a Dictatorship the people work for the Government. We work for MONTH`s to send the Government money so they can waste every dime they never earned a penny of it. We are a country of sheeple. Sit down ans shut up but keep sending your money in.Got to pay for the constant upkeep of air force one and the millions it cost to keep it in the air.

    • Now Robert Gibbs is telling on his master.It won’t belong before he ends up dead.

  2. Nothing like transparency, is there? Obama thinks we won’t know he wants to use them against us. He is empty-headed as well, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to have a world power take over America. We can stop him, but who is willing to lay their life on the line to do so?

  3. Gibbs was Obama’s official “Mouthpiece” – i.e. Lie Dispenser – for a long time. Now he expects to have credibility?

    Was he LYING before Carney took his job or is he LYING now? Or both?

    There is nothing of truth in any of this Regime’s statements or in those who make those statements. Gibbs might be telling the truth now but there’s always that flavor of the Cretan Liar Paradox in everything Obama does or any of his faithful minions do.

  4. The WORD ** TRANPARENT ** is not in the THE WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY – in reference to OBONZO and company. They have no idea, as to what that word ** transpaarent ** actually means. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    FURTHWER MORE – they don’t care what JOHN Q. PUBLIC thinks.
    TIME this ** FRAUDULENT – TYRANT ** LEAVES OFFICE- ONE OF TWO WAYS, THE SIMPLEST WOULD BE HIS just plain QUITING, – that will not happen,- IMPEACHMENT is the best and only way. – In that manner, – - OBONZO will be stripped of all of his FREE STUFF.

  5. my notes: knew r. gibbs was lying all the while??? pl,orl,fla

  6. Another technique the WH & media use to foster a “us vs them” polarizing illusion. Bankers, and their Marxists insurgents, are not known for their courage. They do this to overcome their small numbers when fighting an uphill battle against 300 million freedom loving Americans with as many guns. “Fear Merchants” depend on psyops media campaigns…Semper Fi

  7. Wow Bob, who da thunk? You lie to people, and you lose their confidence…gee, what a novel concept.

  8. This is the first time the Wizard and Oz part has been spoken of in a outright manner and as non transparent as this Faker is I am surprised Gibbs and his revelation has not netted him a trip to GITMO…

  9. It is so difficult to believe anything you hear from this administration or from anyone associated with it now or in the past. Every culture has an adage concerning liars. The Germans say it this way one: “Einen Luegner glaubt Mann nicht, wenn er auch die Wahrheit spricht!” [One doesn't believe a liar even when he tells the truth!] But, there is also a “truth” that is important to remember, a liar will invariably be caught in his lies and eventually be destroyed by them. Watch Obama go down in flames! He can’t tell the truth even if he wants to!

  10. This is a MUST see video! It says so much more than the title suggests.
    The VIDEO herein is a shocking reveal of why the Civil War came about and the Real Reasons for IT;

    What was Created resulting from it (Your drone controversy today);

    How Lincoln and Company & those who followed ‘afterwards’ profited because of it (Politically & Economically), and Its Relationship to the Present & that which now Exists in Washington disguising Itself as a Representative’ body.

  11. Can’t you see by the video you are making enemies throughout the world by what you are allowing? If you had minded your own business and left the Muslims and Israelis alone, you would not have been involved in any of this. Nor today would your government be giving Egypt 200 M1 Tanks and a squadron of F-16 jets, equaling almost 2 Billion dollars, money which you don’t have, but you are paying for it while you suffer at home….
    Didn’t Lincoln’s War bring you all sorts of nice things for the future? You reap what you sow….

    Michael– Deo Vindicabamur

  12. Michael, who is the “you” that you are damning here? And what is “your government” ? Are you a resident of a foreign country? We’re up to our ears in snapping Neo-Commie alligators and you are still fighting Lincoln which seems to indicate you are a citizen of THIS country and not immune from all the damnation you heap upon it.

    Please clarify.

  13. Such human garbage! I’ll let you decide who I’m talking about.

  14. Me thinks Mr. Gibbs has fallen out of grace…..

  15. I’ve made some out-standing points, and many of you can’t see them because in reality you’re no different than the ones you claim to so despise, the Marxist liberals.

    One of the main things ya’ll fail to understand is the fact that government gets its’ consent to govern from the people. That being from ALL the People of age and of sound mind. (Not crazy) And when government fails to properly represent the people, then the people has the inherent and sovereign right to dis-solve or leave that government. And this sovereignty and rights are carried out by their respective states.

    Today just as in 1860 the government has failed to properly represent all the people. The federal government has taken sides and forced the people within the states and country to oppose each other while the government with a select people benefits from the pain and suffering, loss of rights and unfair laws that are pushed upon those they oppose. As a very simple analogy, though much more complex, one could say it is the red states verses the blue states with the federal government backing the blue states and those people supporting oppressive policies against the people in the red states.

    You cannot understand nor accept the fact, in 1860 as today the division of people and their beliefs are so great that the two sides cannot peacefully co-exist together without one side being the oppressor to the other. The liberal Marxists can no more tolerate you than you can them in government. Yet neither of you can peacefully separate, letting each side take the states they are a majority in and form their own government so it can better serve the needs of each group according to their own needs and desires.

    Each of you would rather fight and even die trying to force the other side to bend to your ways, just as was done to the South in Lincoln’s War. You can’t let the other side leave because you’re simply too greedy. You want it all just as your kind wanted it all in 1860. And you will do anything in order to fulfill and see your greedy desires met. You are just as hard headed as the liberal Marxists, and you would do to them exactly what they would do to you, with neither side having the intelligence, understanding or compassion to simply let the other side separate and leave in peace.

    And that is why I won’t be fighting in your upcoming war! Even if you were to win; What have I and my people won? Those people being Southerners who still want a proper and Constitutional government the way it was originally intended, including the statement you saw in the video from Thomas Jefferson, where he said if two sides disagreed, it was fine and proper to separate from the union. Ya’ll don’t want a proper and Constitutional government the way ti was originally meant. Fore if you did you would be more considerate of others and want them to be free, and to separate and form their own government if that is what they desire.

    My people as well as myself won’t win a thing fighting your war. No matter who wins we will still be slaves to the victor and our states still forced into a unholy union, a shotgun marriage so-to-speak.(That’s exactly what designates the united states as an empire since 1865.) And there are tens of thousands of Southerners just like me…. We will only fight to protect ourselves and well being from immediate danger.

    Many times through the years, I as well as others have tried and tried to tell you people that the elections were NOT fair. That many elections, specifically that of president was arranged in such a way that whoever won would still be in the pockets of the bankers and the elite. We tried and tried to tell ya’ll that certain laws were unconstitutional and that we should attack the root of the problems instead of simply responding to each crisis as the elite pushed them unto us. We pushed for audits of the federal reserve to no avail, much less trying to abolish the federal reserve. And yet today most people still does not believe the federal reserve is wrecking the country and is out to destroy you. Nor do they believe the power of government is bought by the people who own and run the federal reserve. And there are so many other things I could add, that you never listened too, thinking you had all the right answers. I was vilified and attacked so many times during this last election in this forum because I would NOT support the lesser of two evils. And it says volumes about the mentality of most people on this blog. You’re simply no better than those you claim to despise. So people like me will sit out your upcoming war. Ya’ll have at it….. Maybe you’ll thin your sides down enuff so me and my people can actually leave this stinking mess you call your union! It’s NOT my government because mine was conquered in 1865. I’m nothing more than your prisoner and slave…. Pay your upkeep to me……… and I won’t fight against you…..

    Michael– Deo Vindicabamur

    • You Sir are absolutely right and many other Southerners are standing right beside you, behind and before you…Many of us have done exactly as you have and paid a humiliating price for doing nothing more than sharing the truth, ideas and opinions…Let them have their lesser evil and let them wallow in the very filth they claim to fight against…Let them have the government they wish of and let us have ours…
      And now they push for another idiot, an ineligible Candidate Rubio, whose parents were not citizens until 4 1/2 years after he was born of Cuban parents, not even American immigrants yet…

  16. We do NOT enjoy the sovereignty of our ancestors before 1865. We are a conquered people and nation. We are at the mercy of the barbarians and demons, the Neo-conservative Republicans on one side and the Marxist Democrats on the other.. We cannot vote ourselves into freedom, as it has never been done. We cannot fight our way to freedom, physically, as we too few, too weak, too poor and lacking in most every respect.

    Therefore I ask; What do we fight? Ghosts and goblins? Demons and the men they possess? We would have as much success against one as the other I’m afraid. Only the fool-hardy thinks they are gonna fight and win, forcing everyone to live by their laws! The whole world is now against us and we are like the rabbit in a dog chase, there being no place to hide. It’s like the little dog chasing the big tractor trailer going down the road. If he catches it; What is he gonna do with it? What are you gonna do with anything you may win today? Lose it tomorrow?

    Our physical battles are over. No more is required of us except to testify for Christ Himself. Our worldly fight is over because their is nothing left to gain or hold onto too. Just steel yourselves to the knowledge that vengeance is the Lord’s. Our Lord is even Vindicating us now, as we speak! Fore I tell you with my signature, “Deo Vindicabamur”. (God is Vindicating us.)

    Know that He is to answer our cries and please for help against those that have tormented us. Just know and study this from the Spiritual sense, and you too will see there can be no further recourse or actions from us unless a different miracle happens before our eyes.

    As I said in my previous posts, you cannot force others to live by your laws, nor they you. When you do force such actions on others you are imposing tyranny upon them. (You have no real and unified nation when you use force to keep it together!) To which I will add a sig I have used in the past:
    As for me:
    When you beat someone into submission and rule by force and fear, all you have is tyranny. You have destroyed their dignity, their loyalty towards you, and their God given right of Sovereignty(Choice, their free agency to decide). trying to reconstruct them in… your own image is a big fallacy. It didn’t work on the Scottish, or the Irish, or the American Indians, and it didn’t work on MANY of us Southerners; Some scalawags it has worked on, but for old Rednecks like me, We’re UNASHAMED, UNREPENTANT, “UNPOLITICALLY” CORRECT, AND UNRECONSTRUCTABLE.

    Michael– Deo Vindicabamur

  17. y to decide). trying to reconstruct them in… your own image is a big fallacy. It didn’t work on the Scottish, or the Irish

  18. The majority gets fooled. As always!

  19. Why is it that everyone wants everyone else to be just like themselves? People start wars over wanting to make other people into images of themselves. It’s like the government propaganda saying, “We’re fighting for democracy, fighting to free the oppressed.” I ask everyone, just because you see someone as being oppressed; Does that mean they think they are oppressed? Just because they don’t have a *Democracy* like you have; Does that mean they want one like you have? Does it mean you’re gonna force one on them whether they want it or not? And what if all the other people and countries of the world had the same attitude towards Americans; What if they came over here to fight YOU, claiming it was to set you free and to give you their form of what they claim is a free and honest government? I bet you’d be ready to fight them unto your death! And that is exactly why the Vietnamese, Iraqis, Koreans and so many other groups of people oppose the united states today. You’re simply acting like bullies and spoiled children, going around FORCING everyone else to believe and do as you…… What a shame and disgrace on you. I don’t support people and governments that goes around acting so foolish and being such a bully!
    Just remember, this bullying and tyrannical oppression was first used against Southern States because THEY didn’t want to follow such inappropriate behavior as was coming from Washington DC, especially from what Lincoln was saying and doing, being the first King of the united states. Your first TYRANT…..
