When Andrew Breitbart died on the same day he promised to expose Barack Obama for what he really was and when he enthusiastically promised video footage that would change the landscape of the 2012 election it was disappointing to watch the footage Hannity initially released of Barack Obama's Harvard days and his close relationship with Derrick Bell.  The footage was important and it made a loud statement but half of this country does not seem to care, or fully understand, the evidence behind what appears to be an orchestration behind Barack Obama's presidency.

After all of the hype and after watching a young Obama merely embracing Derrick Bell and his ideas it was evident that we were either never going to see the videos Breitbart was referring to or they were going to be released one by one, slowly and methodically, leading up to November 6, 2012.

Is it possible that the accusations the mainstream media laughs off and ridicules regarding Barack Obama could be true?  This is a big moment in American history and more and more evidence is being released weekly.  It appears the Breitbart videos and the message he was so enthusiastic to exploit is making itself more visible as each day passes.  It may only be wishful thinking but I think what should have been done before Barack Obama was elected President of the United States of America, which our mainstream media failed miserably to do, is about to happen.  We are only now beginning to find out who and what this man really is.

 

This is worth checking out!  They're all good but the third video on the page is a must see.

Here is an alternative to Barack Obama's 17-minute self-aggrandizing propaganda video "The Road We've Traveled".  This one is a lot shorter yet pulls from a far larger pool of presidential shortcomings than the small puddle of accomplishments Obama's video stretched into 17 minutes.  More details on this video at TheBlaze.

Also, Glenn Beck discovered an interesting parallel between Barack Obama's film "The Road We've Traveled" and a book, written by Stuart Chase, "The Road We Are Traveling 1914-1942".  

"Written by FDR-admirer Stuart Chase, the book focuses on America once it has dispensed with free enterprise entirely. Chase wrote that while he could call this new society 'communist, state capitalist, or fascist,' he preferred the more ambiguous 'Political System X.'”

From Bristol Palin's blog (Bristol'sBlog) here is an open letter to the President of the United States of America addressing the troubling double standard, which exists as a propaganda-trafficking bridge of similar interests uniting two distant shores between America's media outlets and the White House, in contrast to the actually reality the rest of us see.

"Dear President Obama,

You don’t know my telephone number, but I hope your staff is busy trying to find it. Ever since you called Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a slut, I figured I might be next.  You explained to reporters you called her because you were thinking of your two daughters, Malia and Sasha.  After all, you didn’t want them to think it was okay for men to treat them that way:

'One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,' you said.  'I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens.'

And I totally agree your kids should be able to speak their minds and engage the culture.  I look forward to seeing what good things Malia and Sasha end up doing with their lives.

But here’s why I’m a little surprised my phone hasn’t rung.  Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family.  He’s made fun of my brother because of his Down’s Syndrome. He’s said I was “f—-d so hard a baby fell out.”  (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I’ve found in God after my past – very public — mistakes.)

If Maher talked about Malia and Sasha that way, you’d return his dirty money and the Secret Service would probably have to restrain you.  After all, I’ve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager.  That’s why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom — you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits.

Yet I wonder if the Presidency has changed you.  Now that you’re in office, it seems you’re only willing to defend certain women.  You’re only willing to take a moral stand when you know your liberal supporters will stand behind you.

But…

What if you did something radical and wildly unpopular with your base and took a stand against the denigration of all women… even if they’re just single moms? Even if they’re Republicans?

I’m not expecting your SuperPAC to return the money.  You’re going to need every dime to hang on to your presidency.  I’m not even really expecting a call.  But would it be too much to expect a little consistency?  After all, you’re President of all Americans, not just the liberals."

Today ends week eighty-one of running against Obama. I ran 21.4 miles this week, averaging 3.06 miles per day. 

President Obama signed an Executive Order on March 16, 2012, which allows the President and his designated Secretaries to control all domestic U.S. resources, including food and water. This Executive Order also allows President Obama to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure within America…and he can force a draft of American citizens into the military. 

In case you were curious, this new authority Barack Obama has crowned himself with does not exclusively apply to national emergencies and wartime. It applies in peacetime, as well. 

From an InfoWars article, written by Brandon Turbeville, “The National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order exploits the ‘authority’ granted to the President in the Defense Production Act of 1950 in order to assert that virtually every means of human survival is now available for confiscation and control by the President via his and his Secretaries’ whim.”

It's been a little over two weeks since Andrew Breitbart's questionable death and the "Obama videos" he was referring to preceding his untimely passing amounted to merely one more radical association, which half of this country apparently has little disagreement with.  Aired on Hannity last week, the Harvard video of Barack Obama embracing Derrick Bell and the story surrounding it amounted to little more than a fact we already knew.

The video (or videos) Andrew Breitbart possessed and intended to release on March 1, 2012, presumably will never see the light of day.  Breitbart was hyping up this event way too much for something as dull as exposing yet another radical association of Obama's, as though Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright were not enough.

Where are the videos?

One description Andrew Breitbart gave of these alleged videos was Obama meeting with "a bunch of silver pony tails".  Two of the people he was referring to, unrepentant terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, were not in the Harvard video.  Furthermore, Breitbart always referred to the material of his vetting of Obama as "videos" (plural).

Where are the videos?

Just sayin'.

But, this is only speculation.  Who am I to connect dots?

Coincidentally, Andrew Breitbart attended a Super Bowl Sunday dinner with Bill "What a country.  It makes me want to puke" Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn less than a month before his death.  Breitbart was invited to the dinner by journalist Tucker Carlson, who had won an online auction for the opportunity to dine with the couple and their liberal counterparts. 

They voluntarily paid for the chance to dine in the den of everything they disagree with.         

"How did a right wing rabble-rouser end up breaking bread with a 60's radical who took part in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972? Remember, Ayers was also connected to the deaths of Weather Underground members (one of them was his girlfriend) killed in a bomb blast."

Couldn’t pass this one up.  While addressing a Community College today in Largo, Maryland, President Barack Obama blamed President Rutherford B. Hayes, America’s nineteenth president, of possessing the mentality of one who believed Earth was flat.  Very insulting.

He went on to explain that the reason Hayes was not sculpted on Mount Rushmore was because when the telephone was invented his presidential predecessor lacked the vision to see the new technology’s potential and had dismissed it.  Our president was comparing his own disinterest in American oil combined with his fixation with alternative energy (regardless of how many layoffs, bankruptcies and tax dollars are compromised each week) to a completely false representation of Rutherford B. Hayes reaction to the invention of the telephone.

Our president wrongly claimed, neglecting a small amount of research an eight-year-old could have performed and would have been expected to perform for an elementary school assignment, that Hayes’ response to the invention of the telephone was “It’s a great invention, but who would ever want to use one?”

Turns out, according to Nancy Kleinhenz of the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont, Ohio, Hayes “was very technologically savvy” and he was the first president to utilize a telephone in the White House.  He was also the first president to type on a typewriter and to experiment with the phonograph, eventually recording his voice on Thomas Edison’s gramophone.

From ABCNews, according to Kleinhenz, a Rocky Point, R.I. newspaper article from June 29, 1877 described Hayes as “delighted” when he first experienced listening on the telephone, with “a gradually increasing smile wreathe(d) his lips and wonder shone in his eyes more and more.” Hayes “looked at (the phone) a moment in surprise and remarked, ‘That is wonderful.’”

Kleinhenz went on to explain that the myth about Hayes seeing no potential or wonderment in the invention of the telephone is completely false.

Our president appears to be at a complete loss for crafting realistic analogies and he has run out of people to blame.  He has resorted to falsely blaming a nineteenth century ex-president who obviously cannot defend himself.

You can't make your own history, Mr. President.

This is a prime example of the difference between us and them. This flag is insulting to the entire history of everything America has achieved and every strand of historical importance symbolized in the fifty stars where Barack Obama's face currently rests on this crude defacement of the American flag.

This is what we are up against.  Looking at the perpetual double standard that exists between Conservatives and Liberals, the left's response would be a far greater uproar if that was George Bush's, or any other conservative's face on that flag.  But in this case, this story will likely receive little mainstream attention and most Americans will never even realize that an American flag with Barack Obama's face, instead of the fifty stars representing the pride and unity of our fifty states, wavered over a Florida county's Democratic headquarters.

This insulting flag has finally been lowered at the request of local veterans who had deemed it "a disgrace".

"It's absolutely disrespectful. It's totally ridiculous. To put somebody's picture there, to me, it's a disgrace to do that."

The Obama administration launched a website in September of last year you may not have heard of, among others (you may recall AttackWatch or other laughable campaigns, which pitted Americans against Americans to see who could turn who in faster for speaking negatively about the current administration), which serves as a tool to directly petition the government.  

(I had proudly turned myself in on AttackWatch's website back in September.)

Well, here it is.  The website, WeThePeople, was launched by the Obama administration and it encourages Americans to petition the government to act on matters that they value as important.

From the website, “We the People provides a new way to petition the Obama Administration to take action on a range of important issues facing our country. We created We the People because we want to hear from you. If a petition gets enough support, White House staff will review it, ensure it’s sent to the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.”

A man in Chicago decided to start a petition at WeThePeople on March 5 of this year.  The introductory statement reads, "I petition the Obama administration to resign."  In the description section of the petition where a petitioner can elaborate on their idea is one single word.  "Resign".

This petition has until April 4 to reach merely 25,000 signatures and at that point, according to your president, Barack Obama, the administration will have to issue an official response to the petition.

Just today, over 2,300 individuals, including myself, signed the petition and I encourage you to do the same.  Being part of an electorate as big as America's is, with laws in many states that don't even require you to have a photo ID to vote (as many times as any one deceased person or illegal alien would like to) makes you wonder how much your vote is actually worth when it is so simple to manipulate the system.  

Watch this video!!!

Sign this petition and your vote will be unequivocally counted.  If you want to send a message to Barack Obama that only requires a moment but will be highly effective, sign this petition!

Here is a clever obituary written long before what many of us are only now fully realizing.   

The Death of Common Sense
Lori Borgman | Sunday, March 15, 1998

Three yards of black fabric enshroud my computer terminal. I am mourning the passing of an old friend by the name of Common Sense. His obituary reads as follows: Common Sense, aka C.S., lived a long life, but died from heart failure at the brink of the millennium. No one really knows how old he was, his birth records were long ago entangled in miles and miles of bureaucratic red tape. Known affectionately to close friends as Horse Sense and Sound Thinking, he selflessly devoted himself to a life of service in homes, schools, hospitals and offices, helping folks get jobs done without a lot of fanfare, whooping and hollering.

Rules and regulations and petty, frivolous lawsuits held no power over C.S. A most reliable sage, he was credited with cultivating the ability to know when to come in out of the rain, the discovery that the early bird gets the worm and how to take the bitter with the sweet.

C.S. also developed sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adult is in charge, not the kid) and prudent dietary plans (offset eggs and bacon with a little fiber and orange juice).

A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, the Technological Revolution and the Smoking Crusades, C.S. survived sundry cultural and educational trends including disco, the men's movement, body piercing, whole language and new math. C.S.'s health began declining in the late 1960s when he became infected with the If-It-Feels-Good, Do-It virus.

In the following decades, his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of overbearing federal and state rules and regulations and an oppressive tax code. C.S. was sapped of strength and the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, criminals received better treatment than victims and judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional baseball and golf.

His deterioration accelerated as schools implemented zero-tolerance policies. Reports of 6-year-old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing classmates, a teen suspended for taking a swig of Scope mouthwash after lunch, girls suspended for possessing Midol and an honor student expelled for having a table knife in her school lunch were more than his heart could endure.

As the end neared, doctors say C.S. drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments regarding regulations on low-flow toilets and mandatory air bags. Finally, upon hearing about a government plan to ban inhalers from 14 million asthmatics due to a trace of a pollutant that may be harmful to the environment, C.S. breathed his last.

Services will be at Whispering Pines Cemetery. C.S. was preceded in death by his wife, Discretion; one daughter, Responsibility; and one son, Reason. He is survived by two step-brothers, Half-Wit and Dim-Wit.

Memorial Contributions may be sent to the Institute for Rational Thought. Farewell, Common Sense. May you rest in peace.

Representative Walter Jones of North Carolina has presented a resolution stating that should Barack Obama use offensive military force without the consent of Congress, this act should be “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor”.

Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution delegates to Congress, alone, the power to declare war.  This element of the Constitution has been abused more and more over the years, most recently in Obama’s authorization of military force in Libya.

“This week it was Secretary of Defense Panetta’s declaration before the Senate Armed Services Committee that he and President Obama look not to Congress for authorization to bomb Syria but to NATO and the United Nations.  This led to Representative Walter Jones introducing an official resolution calling for impeachment should Obama take offensive action based on Panetta’s policy statement, because it would violate the Constitution.”

 Tom Tancredo

It’s not so much that this is a big deal or that it will actually hold any weight, but as a matter of principle, the fact that American decisions, which we are all financing with our tax dollars, are being decided collectively by the entire world rather than by those who represent our nation makes no sense.

I cannot imagine one single argument to defend Bill Maher, the hypocrisy of President Barack Obama (if he does not give back or donate this money elsewhere), or the double standard that exists between liberals and conservatives. Great video, ShePAC!

Here is a letter from ShePAC written to Bill Burton, cofounder of Priorities USA Action SuperPAC, who was (as recently as March 1, 2012) "promoting the views of a donor who referred to women in violent, hateful and derogatory ways: 

Dear Mr. Burton:

Having watched President Obama’s press conference yesterday afternoon we find ourselves in agreement with him regarding the inflammatory issues that have arisen in the media. We are sure we can all agree we have arrived at what the President might call a "teachable moment".

We were pleased to see Rush Limbaugh apologize for his incredibly unkind and insensitive remarks towards women during his recent radio broadcast. These types of remarks towards women have no place in public discourse – they are wrong, and offensive.

It was an important gesture that President Obama approved the time in his schedule to place a call to the woman to whom the offensive remarks were directed.  As parents of daughters ourselves, we were proud when we heard him say he took a personal stand on this issue with the hopes of always allowing his daughters the ability to have their own beliefs in the future.  President Obama said, "One of the things I want them to do as they get older is to engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on."

President Obama has categorically condemned this sort of language against any woman. We are calling on you today to put the President's words to action by condemning the equally egregious and despicable behavior of HBO talk show host Bill Maher.  Mr. Maher has a history of attacking women and recently attacked a host of women including a specifically violent attack at one woman who regularly, as the President says, “engages in the issues she cares about” and is a mother of three daughters and grandmother.

Mr. Maher, who disagrees with Sarah Palin's politics, has called her a litany of adjectives inappropriate to repeat in any setting and are of the most derogatory of terms reserved for only violent verbal hate crimes against women.  We understand that he has donated $1 million dollars of his personal money paid to him through various businesses that thrive on the ratings of his hate speech to your Priorities USA Action to aid in your efforts to re-elect President Obama.

President Obama eloquently stated today in his press conference that, "all decent folks can agree that the remarks that were made don't have any place in the public discourse.”

We are certain you agree with him, as do we that these types of remarks have no place in our society and the people that unapologetically make them must not be allowed to purchase a seat at the table of public discourse. Therefore, we are calling on Priorities USA Action and you to live up to the standard set by President Obama and take Mr. Maher’s million dollars and pay it forward.

Prove to American’s that your group is run by “decent folks” that President Obama speaks of. Donate this money to a charity of your choosing that focuses on supporting abused women and children.

We look forward to your action and joining with the President in ending hate speech against women.

Respectfully,

Teri Christoph, Co-Chair of ShePAC

Barack Obama will be releasing a short movie in the coming days to promote his vision and his accomplishments. The trailer of propaganda above is a small taste of what to expect. "Bush this", "Bush that", and at the very end "I killed Osama". Very creative.

The trailer below, however, is one I am anticipating with much more enthusiasm. I have posted about Ayn Rand and "Atlas Shrugged" often and Part 2 will be coming to theaters soon. This novel, which Rand wrote in the late fifties, addresses our current issues much more effectively as a book of fiction than our president and his counterparts do here in the reality of 2012.

Below is a speech from one of the main characters, John Galt. If you are unfamiliar with the novel this excerpt will give you a good idea of what it is about and how the story is comparable to our current times.
