Rains wash away Mount Obama in Charlotte, N.C

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 8:56 am

Of all the vain, narcissistic things to do before the Democrat national convention, this has to be one of the most disgusting. I hope it rains all week, so the Democrats attending the convention can pound sand.

A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention.

Workers were trying Saturday afternoon to reform the base of the sculpture, built from sand brought in from Myrtle Beach, S.C., pounding and smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade.

Romney to Announce VP Saturday Morning at 9 am

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 7:15 pm

Carl Cameron, of Fox News, is reporting Romney’s VP pick will be announced tomorrow morning at 9 am. He is speculating that the VP slot may go to Paul Ryan. Let’s hope his intuition is correct. Romney needs a strong Conservative on the ticket to balance out his past progressive views.

WSJ Chief Economist: 75% of Obamacare Costs Will Fall on Backs of Those Making Less Than $120K a Year

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 9:50 am

Even if you don’t like Romney, or he wasn’t your pick for the nomination, he’s our only hope of getting this monstrosity of a law repealed. So, find a reason to vote for him, make sure you’re registered, and VOTE! I like Glenn Beck’s reason for supporting Romney – “At least he’s not a Communist!”.

Obama lied when he said he wouldn’t tax the middle class. That’s exactly what Obamacare does, among other things. Boot the liar out of office.

Stephen Moore, Senior Economics Writer with the Wall Street Journal, told FOX and Friends this morning that nearly 75% of Obamacare costs will fall on the backs of those Americans making less than $120,000 a year.

Obama Admin OKs Using Aborted Babies’ Brains in Lab Tests

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 10:20 am

Progressives are willing to admit that an aborted baby isn’t just a mass of tissue, and in fact has a brain. They’re just depraved enough to want to use those dead baby brains for research. Why is it liberals never have to answer for their hypocrisy? The sane people in this country better organize and come together against the Left, or we’ll have abortion for research, and post birth abortions.

The Obama administration is getting grief from a pro-life group for approving an experiment using the remains of the bodies of unborn children victimized in abortion for research continues in U.S. laboratories.

Scott Fischbach, the director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life uncovered the information showing a clinical trial approved by the Food and Drug Administration uses brain tissue from aborted unborn babies to treat macular degeneration. StemCells Inc. will inject fetal brain stem cells into the eyes of up to 16 patients to study the cells’ effect on vision.

In its press release announcing the clinical trial, StemCells Inc. was careful to refer to the fetal brain material as “purified human neural stem cell product” or HuCNS-SC cells, rather than “fresh human fetal brain tissue,” a description which can be found elsewhere on its website.

There’s the answer to my question. They just create new words that avoid the issue, like “purified human neural stem cell product”. I wonder how long it took them to come up with that one.

Palestinians fire at least 80 rockets at Southern Israel

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 5:59 pm

Can any American even come close to comprehending what it would be like to live with rockets raining down in your neighborhoods, at your schools, and in your streets on a daily basis? Imagine what our government would be willing to do if 80 rockets were launched at a town in Southern Texas or California. I’m sure the liberals in those towns wouldn’t be protesting in favor of the poor, oppressed terrorists that lobbed the deadly rockets at their homes. Yet, Israel is always cast as the villain for the very measured, and restrained retaliation they take against the terrorists, even as they carefully avoid civilian casualties.

The world is upside down, and I have a feeling God is going to give us a good slap up side the head soon to remind us what reality is, and who runs the show.

Palestinian terrorists fired at least 80 rockets from Gaza into southern Israel since Friday night, leaving eight Israelis injured in the heaviest series of attacks in months. The barrages came in response to an IAF strike which killed the secretary general of the Popular Resistance Committees, Zuhair Qaisi.

The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted at least five rockets fired from the Gaza Strip at Beersheba and Ashdod early Saturday morning. In total, at least ten rockets have been intercepted by the system since the beginning of the escalation on Friday.

The IAF struck targets in Gaza overnight Friday and Saturday morning in response to the rocket attacks. Twelve Palestinians – 10 of them members of Islamic Jihad – were killed in the strikes and another 20 were injured, according to Palestinian news agency Ma’an.

The escalation in violence in Israel and around the world makes me wonder how much of the chaos is being instigated by Islamists in preparation for the return of the 12th Imam. For several years, prominent Islamic leaders have been predicting that 2012 will be the year that the Mahdi returns. According to Islamic theology, he can’t be revealed until Islamic countries have unleashed a sufficient amount of chaos, war, and bloodshed around the world. In other worlds, things are going to are going to get far worse everywhere, as we near the elections, and the year 2012.

If they have any strategic sense whatsoever, they’ll make their move wile the coward in chief is still in office. Let’s hope they’re as dumb as they act.

Cardinal Dolan: Obama Admin Lectured Bishops to Listen to ‘Enlightened’ Voices in Private Meeting

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 10:43 am

In a blatant violation of the separation of church and state, as it was intended by our founders, the White House met with Catholic leaders and lectured them on their need to listen to more enlightened views, rather than following their own beliefs and their own church doctrine. So, us dumb Christians just need to toss our beliefs out, and listen to whomever the government appoints to dictate to us what our beliefs will now be.

Who does this arrogant President think he is? He hasn’t done enough damage already to the economy and the country as a whole, so now he’s going to wage a war on faith? Christians of all stripes and colors better be awake and stand with the Catholics, because it will be your church being told what our government decides are acceptable beliefs next.

Communism can not exist in a Christian nation, and must, as all Marxists know, force atheism on the masses. Make no mistake, our Marxist leader wants exactly that. Teach your children the true meaning of “separation of church and state”, and exactly why our founders left Europe in the first place. It was to avoid just this kind of tyranny and control of the church by the state.

Be watchful and start paying attention to politics in your churches. Believe me, it DOES affect you, and you have every right to defend your freedom of religion, conscience, and speech, especially in a house of worship. Don’t let them take us down this road. It always ends in blood running in the streets, and mass murder. History provides ample evidence of how these tragedies have begun to take root in society, and it looks just like the road America is on now.

Over the past week, the media firestorm surrounding Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke and Rush Limbaugh has eclipsed the larger issue of religious liberty that stands at the forefront of the contraception mandate.

With the distracting debate raging, Fluke has received the majority of the media attention surrounding the subject. New developments in the faith world, unfortunately, have gone unnoticed. Of particular note is a public letter that was penned on March 2 by Cardinal Timothy Dolan (also president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops).

The letter recaps a bizarre conversation U.S. Conference staff recently had with White House officials regarding the mandate. In fact, Dolan seems to allege that government officials lectured Catholic leaders about church teaching, writing:

At a recent meeting between staff of the bishops’ conference and the White House staff, our staff members asked directly whether the broader concerns of religious freedom—that is, revisiting the straight-jacketing mandates, or broadening the maligned exemption—are all off the table. They were informed that they are. So much for “working out the wrinkles.” Instead, they advised the bishops’ conference that we should listen to the “enlightened” voices of accommodation, such as the recent, hardly surprising yet terribly unfortunate editorial in America. The White House seems to think we bishops simply do not know or understand Catholic teaching and so, taking a cue from its own definition of religious freedom, now has nominated its own handpicked official Catholic teachers.

Guantanamo prisoners get new, larger soccer field and walking trail

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 4:31 am

This makes me about as mad as I ever get over news. Obama is cutting troops pay, and just recently announced he’ll be cutting healthcare for our military and vets, but the animals at Guantanamo are getting a new, larger soccer field, a walking trail, and new exercise equipment. We wouldn’t want the terrorists to get bored, or out of shape. The same people that have killed our troops are getting a “pay raise”, while our troops get cuts. We need to give Obama a giant pay cut…right out of office.

Some prisoners at Guantanamo Bay will soon have a new, larger soccer field to help keep them occupied…

The U.S. military has nearly completed a new recreation yard in Camp 6, the camp where more than 80 percent of the 171 prisoners are held. Besides a soccer field, it will have a walking trail and exercise equipment. Screened fences block the view of the nearby Caribbean Sea.

That’s $750,000 down the Muslim Terrorist toilet. Our President is out of touch with reality, and pure evil. Is it any wonder God’s blessing has seemingly been lifted from this once great country?

Iran ready to wipe Israel off the map

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 8:07 am

If our politicians don’t wake up and realize that Iran really does feel it is their duty to bring about worldwide chaos and usher in the 12th Imam, we’re going to be sitting on our hands apologizing to Muslim murderers when all hell breaks loose.

As speculations over a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities grow, the Islamic Republic is exacerbating its rhetoric.

Deputy Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi on Friday warned Israel against mounting such an attack: “Any act by the Zionist regime against Iran will bring about its destruction.”

Obama’s answer to Iran: Cut our nukes by 80%

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 5:19 pm

Sometimes I just have to ask, what is wrong with this man? Our President seems determined to see the destruction of America, or at the very least left with zero influence in the world. What kind of rational leads a President to cut our nuclear arsenal by 80% when North Korea and Iran already basically have nukes, and WILL use them. In addition to that, countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and other Muslim countries will feel the need to get nukes too, if Iran has them. I have to conclude that Obama is clinically insane.

RUSH: There are some things happening today that are downright scary. The regime, led by Barack Hussein Obama, is weighing options for reducing our US nuclear force, including a reduction of up to 80% in the number of deployed warheads — 80%. Folks, this is staggering. Meanwhile, the Iranians are nuking up. Iran announced today that they’re gonna cut off oil to six countries that have opposed its nuclear program, and more importantly, Iran also announced that they have installed domestically made nuclear fuel rods in their Tehran reactor.

Obama’s philosophy: “Tread lightly and carry no stick.”
along with “Trust but verify what?”

Big wins for Santorum

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:16 pm

I hope and pray this is a sign that Americans are waking up and realizing that now is the time to pick the truly conservative candidate – the one that will actually overturn the damage Obama has done. Now is not the time to do the “McCain” and pick the guy we think can win. Stand by your principals! A glass of water could beat Obama in November.

Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum, fresh off a stunning sweep of three states’ nominating contests, scrambled in Texas on Wednesday to round up support and money he needs to take on rival Mitt Romney.

A day after winning contests in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado, Santorum sought to build on his momentum, addressing Texas pastors, Tea Party movement activists and donors.

Santorum, a former senator and staunch social conservative, became the first Republican White House hopeful to win four of the state-by-state contests to pick a nominee to oppose Democratic President Barack Obama in the November 6 election.

Santorum Is going to do very well in the Bible belt, the South, and the Midwest. The argument that he can’t win is proven false by looking at the last election. Everyone thought Clinton would and should win, yet Obama took the Midwest and it was enough to push him over the top. Santorum can do the same thing.

Republicans have a nasty habit of buying into the media’s meme that we are the minority and have to depend on a miracle to win. We are the majority and Santorum represents the morals, values, and principals of most of that majority. So why vote for a progressive like Gingrich, or a guy like Romney who will not get rid of Obamacare?

Earth’s Polar Ice Melting Less Than Thought

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:52 pm

Nooooo, really?? It’ll take an ice age to convince the global warming geeks that they not only can’t predict future climate, climate has always changed, and it doesn’t work to fudge the data and lie through your teeth.

Nearly 230 billion tons of ice is melting into the ocean from glaciers, ice caps, and mountaintops annually—which is actually less than previous estimates, according to new research by scientists at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

If the amount of ice lost between 2003 and 2010 covered the United States, the whole country would be under one-and-a-half feet of water, or it’d fill Lake Erie eight times, researchers say. Ocean levels worldwide are rising about six tenths of an inch per year, according to researcher John Wahr.

While vast quantities of ice melting into the ocean is not exactly good news, Wahr says, according to his team’s estimates, about 30 percent less ice is melting than previously thought.

I’ve also heard many scientists make the claim that the ice caps are growing. So, why don’t we stop making policy based on made up science and focus on the real problems facing the world today. Novel, I know.

Update: Yet another example: The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows

Could it be that Algore doesn’t haven’t the faintest clue what he’s talking about? I think the proof for that condition is overwhelming and growing by the day.

FBI Increasing Its Monitoring of ‘Sovereign Citizens’ — But Why?

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 11:29 am

Occupy Wallstreet mobsters have been arrested in the thousands, carry signs like “kill the cops”, and are threatening major violence against conservative and financial institutions, yet the FBI is putting its resources into investigating a group called “Sovereign Citizens”. It’s true that some of Sovereign Citizens’ members (10 and 18 a year over the past few years) have committed white collar crimes, but is this really the threat our FBI should be wasting our money on? It smells to me like a Clinton-style attempt to point the finger at “militia types” again, and draw attention away from the OWSies that are becoming a real threat to public safety and the rule of law. We can’t have Obama’s community organizers being investigated now, can we?

The FBI has been paying closer attention to “sovereign citizen” extremists around the country out of concerns that they will react violently when they interact with government officials. But if you dig deeper, the FBI’s attention raises questions about why focus on this group as opposed to others.

But first, who are sovereign citizens? They’re a mixed bag. Some reject their U.S. citizenship and don’t recognize government authority, like laws and taxes. But others don’t, and are more concerned with private property. The website Sovereigncitizens.org explains:

Our goal is to educate and inform the American public about the very real threat to the United States of America as we have known it – coming from many different institutions that make up our government and policy infrastructure. We hope to teach those who wish to remain free how to recognize this threat and disarm it in their communities.

We do NOT endorse non-payment of taxes or violence to achieve these changes. We do NOT endorse giving up a social security number and we do NOT endorse violence against the police or the government.

In 2009, the FBI started paying closer attention to the movement, which previously had been grouped with the militia movements in the bureau’s domestic counter terrorism operations. Many people who claim to be followers of this movement are involved in white collar crimes like tax evasion schemes and making fraudulent documents, the FBI said.

In fact, a Reuters report sheds more light on what a majority of this group has been up to recently: “Legal convictions of such extremists, mostly for white-collar crimes such as fraud, have increased from 10 in 2009 to 18 each in 2010 and 2011, FBI agents said.” That’s an increase of eight crimes.

In light of the horrors occurring on the border, to include the infiltration of Hezbollah and the beheadings of U.S. citizens, this looks simply ridiculous, to put it mildly.

Occupy DC Plans Mayhem for Major Conservative Conference (Physical assault planned)

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 10:28 am

The Occupy nuts and the Leftists that support them won’t be satisfied until more people die, and blood is running in the streets. Anyone who doesn’t think this is going to turn into a parasitic mob like something you’d see in the Middle East, isn’t paying attention. That’s what they want. It fits neatly with the legislation just signed by Obama that allows the government to round up American citizens and detain them without charges or rights to counsel. What are we becoming, while people sleep, America.

The “Occupy DC” protest group is planning to disrupt the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference using a range of potentially illegal tactics that could even include violence against participants, Scribe has learned.

The planned disruptions at CPAC come only days after U.S. Park Police raided Occupiers’ tent cities at McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., confiscating a number of tents, and prohibiting Occupiers from camping out there any longer. During a Thursday meeting at McPherson Square, until Saturday the epicenter of the protests, Occupiers brainstormed tactics for shutting down or disrupting the conference, according to a source who was present at the meeting.

The protesters suggested pulling fire alarms in the hotel where the conference will take place, screaming “fire” during conference activities, “glitter-bombing” participants, cutting electrical power, and barricading entrances to the hotel, according to the source, who requested anonymity.

“Speakers will be physically assaulted, not just verbally confronted,” the source told Scribe in an email. Two Occupiers, who the source also identified as members of the New Black Panther Party, “said they would be disappointed if they didn’t get arrested and planned to ‘make it count.’”

The source quoted another protester as saying, “Mitt [Romney] has Secret Service now, but [Newt] Gingrich and [Andrew] Breitbart don’t,” seemingly suggesting that the latter two would not be as heavily guarded.

Protesters planned to conduct most of these activities on Saturday, the last day of the conference, so as not to overlap with the recently announced protests by labor groups on Thursday and Friday. …

Warning to all OWS Protestors – Stay out of Texas!

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:42 am

A bus driver in Texas ended up having to call the cops and have the unruly, rude…..typical OWS protestors thrown off his Greyhound bus. The article doesn’t really say what they were doing, other than the driver was having to tell them to sit down and shut up constantly. We’ve all seen the mob mentality of these jerks, though, so you can probably imagine just how they were acting.

What the self involved, lazy, OWS protestors don’t understand is that, when they put other lives in danger by being unruly on a bus, their rights to free speech end there. I’m glad they got thrown out on their butts, especially in the middle of a state they probably despise, or at least are despised by the decent, law abiding Americans who live there.

A group of Occupy protesters on its way from San Diego to Washington, D.C. is furious after it claims it was kicked off a Greyhound bus in Amarillo, TX.

“I was discriminated against because I was with Occupy San Diego,” protester Vivian McCardle told KFDA-TV. “It’s appalling that people would treat others like that….

whaaaaa…..cry me an endangered rain forest

No one was kicked off just yet, and two of the officers left the bus to speak with the driver once again, while one remained on board to speak with the protesters. The officer who remained inside, told everyone that they would be able to stay on the bus as long as they don’t communicate with the driver at all. Everyone agreed and were looking forward to getting back on the road. The officer even explained to the protesters that they have to deal with this driver, his disrespectful attitude, and attempts to get people arrested without cause all the time.

While one of the officers was talking with the passengers on the bus, the driver was seen waving his hands in disgust and his head in disapproval at the two officers speaking with him outside. A few minutes later, the driver and both officers returned and explained to everyone that anyone with Occupy would have to leave the bus.

Without argument and still in shock, all thirteen protesters even those not pointed out by the driver, quietly stood up and walked off the buss together. By the time the group was booted from the bus, it was already after 8pm and over an hour since the bus was originally supposed to depart Amarillo.

They were probably lost without all the rats, infestations, scabies, and hippie paraphernalia they are used to in DC and New York. But, I’m sure they had their iPhone to get them out of the bind of being stranded….corporate products for me, but not for thee.

Iran closer to bomb than world realizes

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:55 am

This is why the 2012 election is so important to the future of the U.S. and the world. We are running out of time with Iran, and the threat is more real than the Obama-loving MSM will ever admit.

We must elect a true leader who doesn’t give up every time he’s faced with something that might taint his Presidency, or anger his base. Our future President must have a moral compass that puts country and what is right before himself. Courage and selflessness on the part of our future President are the only things that will spare us another global war.

A report that Iran is about a year away from having the capability to build a nuclear bomb may be too optimistic, contended John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

“I worry the publicly available information is giving only a very small picture and that Iran is actually even much further along,” Bolton said today in a radio interview.

…snip…

In his article last week, Heinonen, who was the IAEA’s director-general until 2010, said that building a stock of 250 kg of 20-percent enriched uranium did not mean Iran could deploy a bomb without further engineering work.

Still, he allowed that 20-percent enriched uranium could within weeks be further purified to the 90-percent necessary for weapons grade.

Israel sees France as being tougher on Iran than the U.S.

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:29 am

When France is described as being tougher on Iran than the the United States, you know you have a coward in the Oval Office. Obama remains clueless to the threat Iran poses to the United States, and couldn’t care less about the welfare of the Jewish people. Vote him out of office America. God is watching.

A senior Israeli official voiced disappointment in the Obama administration on Sunday, saying “election-year considerations” lay behind its caution over tough Iran sanctions sought by U.S. legislators.

While Washington has been talking tougher about Iran’s nuclear work and threat to block oil export routes out of the Gulf if hit with harsher sanctions, new U.S. measures adopted on December 31 gave President Barak Obama leeway on the scope of penalties on the Iranian central bank and oil exports.

Moshe Yaalon, Israel’s vice prime minister, contrasted the administration’s posture to that of France and Britain, which he said “are taking a very firm stand and understand sanctions must be imposed immediately.”

“In the United States, the Senate passed a resolution, by a majority of 100-to-one, to impose these sanctions, and in the U.S. administration there is hesitation for fear of oil prices rising this year, out of election-year considerations,” Yaalon told Israel Radio.

U.S. jobless claims rise sharply to 6-week high

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 11:55 pm

Once again the “good news” of last week has been revised, and a media dump of the new bad news has been strategically released on a weekend, when fewer people will see it. There is no good news on the jobs front, and I hope the funny math that always comes out before the revised numbers a few days later aren’t fooling the American people. There is no recovery, only an Obama Depression. We can not afford 4 more years of this little boy wonder in office.

The number of Americans applying for first-time jobless benefits rose last week, a report showed on Thursday, reversing a recent decline and suggesting the labor market remains brittle. Unemployment claims jumped to 399,000 in the first week of 2012, the highest in six weeks, from an upwardly revised 375,000 in the prior week. The four-week average of claims also marched higher to 381,750 from 374,000. The Labor Department report also showed 3.63 million continuing claims, up from 3.61 million. Including the millions of workers receiving benefits under emergency federal programs, some 7.3 million Americans were receiving unemployment benefits as of Dec. 24, the most recent date for which comprehensive figures are available. The U.S. unemployment rate has fallen sharply in recent months and was 8.5 percent December, but some economists worry the drop has been due in part to discouraged workers dropping out of the labor force.

Shhhhhh…..have a nice weekend and never mind the continued plummet into a weaker economy.

Obama on Pace to Borrow $6.2T in One Term—More Than All Presidents from Washington Through Clinton Combined

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 2:11 pm

Obama can no longer play the “blame Bush” game. Not now, or in the campaign to come. It rings hollow when the President whines that Bush left him “a mess” and a pile of debt, when he himself has wracked up more debt than nearly all administrations since the country was founded. And, he did so in only one term in office. Think what damage he could do with a second term.

Now if we can just get our Republican nominee, who ever that ends up being, to actually point this out as many times as they possibly can, we stand a good chance of getting rid of this Marxist dictator. The Republican’s (not true Conservatives) problem always seems to be a meek, afraid to make waves approach to campaigning. It’s the same cowardice they display once they’ve been elected to Congress. They need to stop being afraid of the Progressive smear machine, and get the message out to middle America. Now more than ever they need to act like men, instead of little boys who can’t handle the heat.

President Barack Obama has been increasing the national debt during his presidency by an average of $4.24 billion per day ($4,240,506,004.34) putting him on a pace to increase the national debt by $6.2 trillion ($6,195,379,272,340.74) by the end of his term on Jan. 20, 2013, according to the debt figures published by the U.S. Treasury.

That $6.2 trillion is more debt than was accumulated by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Bill Clinton combined.

In fact, the U.S. national debt did not eclipse the $6.195 trillion level—the amount Obama is on pace to increase it in one term—until August 19, 2002, during President George W. Bush’s second year of office….

DHS National Operations Center Monitors Journalists, Bloggers, Social Media

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 3:44 am

Recent legislation was signed into law by Obama allowing the detention of ANYONE indefinitely on the say so of DHS. Now the DHS has been given the authority to collect personal information on these people. It’s all coming together right before our eyes:

Under the National Operations Center (NOC)’s Media Monitoring Initiative that emerged from the Department of Homeland Security in November, Washington has written permission to collect and retain personal information from journalists, news anchors, reporters or anyone who uses “traditional and/or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed.”

That means the same DHS that can detain people without due process, or without charges even being filed, can collect data on journalists, bloggers, people who post on facebook and twitter, and anyone else that doesn’t tow the line for Obama. Hitler took over the media the same way 30 days after he took power. It just took Obama a little longer. No wonder Obama wants to impose internet ID’s – so DHS knows who to pick up and take to all those new FEMA camps they’re building.

Asking For I.D. Before Voting Is ‘Racist’, But You Need A Govt. I.D. To Buy Drain Cleaner?

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:01 am

They require people to show I.D. to buy Drano and Liquid plumber, yet call us racist when we want people to show a valid I.D. before casting their vote in a national election. I say, Liberals are toiletists!! Or, worse yet, poopists! Grease ballists! Hair cloggists. Mental midgets?

Illinois has a new law that took effect on January 1 requiring all people who purchase drain cleaners or any caustic substances to provide a government issued photo ID. And retailers now must ask for identification from those buying drain cleaners and maintain extensive records of which caustic products have been purchased, in what amounts, and by whom.

The law came about after two Illinois women were burned by acid attacks back in 2008. One of the women later admitted to burning herself with acid, but the law was still pushed through the system.

And so, because of one random crime where acid was used to burn a victim, thousands of people will be forced to show identification when they purchase drain cleaners, and countless hours of business time will be spent filling out, maintaining and monitoring the government mandated forms associated with each purchase. Additionally, any person carrying caustic chemicals can be charged with a Class 4 felony in Illinois. (Class 4 felonies can carry fines up to $25,000 and 1-3 years in jail.)

The Illinois drain cleaner law is just one of the 40,000 new laws that took effect in the new year. For the record, the 40,000 new laws are a 29% increase over the previous year.

40,000 new laws! In other words, 40,000 more instances of the government telling us what we can and can’t do.

Iran Threatens Action Against U.S. Aircraft Carrier

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:25 pm

With Iran sure to get a nuke in the future, and with threats like this being made, American’s should think long and hard before they nominate a candidate for the Republican ticket.

It’s unbelievable to me that Ron Paul even registers on the radar of national polling. His beliefs regarding our policy and response to Iran are pure lunacy, and based on an illogical fantasy about the realities of our global situation. Iran’s leaders are just as evil and ruthless as Hitler, Stalin, or any other murderous dictator you can recall from history. There is absolutely no reason to assume Iran won’t follow through with their threats, or that everything will be fine, if we just do nothing. Those who claimed Hitler was harmless were dead wrong, too. Only this time it won’t be just the Jews who get annihilated. American’s, too, would pay dearly if they turn a blind eye and follow the “feel good” leader that allows them to keep their head firmly placed in the sand.

Iran will take action if a U.S. aircraft carrier which left the area because of Iranian naval exercises returns to the Gulf, the state news agency quoted army chief Ataollah Salehi as saying on Tuesday.

“Iran will not repeat its warning … the enemy’s carrier has been moved to the Sea of Oman because of our drill. I recommend and emphasize to the American carrier not to return to the Persian Gulf,” Salehi told IRNA.

“I advise, recommend and warn them (the Americans) over the return of this carrier to the Persian Gulf because we are not in the habit of warning more than once,” the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Salehi as saying…

It doesn’t help matters that we have a President who displays weakness at every turn, ESPECIALLY with regards to Iran’s belligerence. Each small victory we give them only emboldens them and brings us closer to another Holocaust. Vote for a true Conservative who supports Israel and faces reality. Bachman or Santorum both have those qualities, as well as a comforting level of knowledge on matters of defense and intelligence. Don’t let the media, or the pollsters pick your candidate this time around!

Germans Learn Another Wind Power Lesson

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 10:50 pm

Following the lead of every other wind farm pipe dream some politician conjured up, Germany’s sea wind farms are quickly becoming useless. I wonder how the salty sea air is going to work with these high maintenance, outrageously ugly attempts to look like the dumbest species on the planet?


A perfect picture of the stupidity that plagues the current generation of wingnuts

AP-GfK Poll: More than half say Obama should lose

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:22 pm

Now, if Conservatives can just elect a true Conservative that will repeal Obamacare and the rest of the Executive Orders the King foisted on us. Gingrich is not it, though. He’s a progressive through and through. A little reading on his past positions and speeches will show a very different man than the the establishment Republicans and MSM are putting out there. I fear this next election is going to be a repeat of the last one, where we’re left wondering how we elected an old fart with an entire cemetery in his closet.

A majority of adults say President Barack Obama does not deserve a second term but are evenly divided on whether he will win re-election next year, says a new Associated Press-GfK poll that highlights some of the campaign obstacles he faces.

Although the public would prefer Obama be voted out of office, he fares relatively well in potential matchups with Republicans Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Another bit of good news for the Democrat: For the first time since spring, more adults said the economy got better in the past month than said it got worse.

We can’t nominate someone that will give Obama more than enough ammunition to make even himself look good by comparison.

Senate Repeals Bans on Sodomy and Bestiality in the Military

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 3:30 am

Those against gay marriage have long argued that making gay marriage legal would lead to ever more disgusting standards in our society. If Bestiality is allowed in the Military, where our troops give up even their free speech rights, what’s next for the country. Is there any doubt polygamy will be on the table as well. If you needed more proof that progressivism and secular humanism are evil, here it is.

The U.S. Senate voted Thursday to approve a defense authorization bill which included a provision that not only repealed the military ban on sodomy, but also repealed the ban on having sex with animals — or bestiality.

“Occupy” Protester Busted For Stealing Neighbor’s Furniture For Florida Encampment

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:33 pm

The OWS slugs are protesting Corporate greed (or just squatting because they’re sick of grandma’s basement), yet they are so greedy themselves, that they think everything including a strangers furniture should belong to them. It’s hard to believe the Democrats are still supporting these animals. I take that back. It’s not hard to believe.

Meet Jeffrey Scott.

The 32-year-old “Occupy Pensacola” protester was arrested yesterday on felony burglary and larceny charges for allegedly robbing a neighbor’s home of furniture that he used at the protest group’s encampment outside City Hall.

Scott was nabbed shortly after victim Ned English called police to report the theft of a couch, a recliner, four wicker chairs, and four couch cushions from his home, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report….

Pentagon reviews punishment over war dead remains

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 11:02 pm

The remains of U.S. soldiers were disposed of by cremation and dumping the remains in a landfill. It’s hard to believe our government, or our military commanders, could be that insensitive and callous, especially when you consider that Osama Bin Laden got a well planned, Muslim burial at sea. I doubt any of his body parts were tossed in a landfill. Someone in our government has a seriously screwed up sense of loyalty and duty to country, not to mention a malfunctioning moral compass. Perhaps the same person who admits his own disdain for Israel’s Prime Minister, and handles her enemies with kid gloves. You have to admit, a pattern emerged from the first days and weeks of his term in office. He bowed before Muslim leaders, tried to befriend the completely insane President of Iran, and then sent our troops into a third and fourth war, and sanctioned, at some level of his administration, dumping the remains of casualties from those wars in a landfill.

An Air Force official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that families had granted the military authorization to deal with any residual remains, but acknowledged they had not been made aware those remains would end up in a landfill.

THROWN IN THE TRASH

“I’m deeply troubled by the reports about what’s happened at the mortuary at the Dover Air Force Base. And I’m sure you would agree with me, this is outrageous that remains of our soldiers would be put in a landfill,” said Senator Kelly Ayotte.

“Occupy DC” Violently Raids Tea Party’s “Defending the American Dream Summit”…many injured

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 10:14 am

In the minds (scary thought) of the occupy protesters, they are the only one’s with the right to freedom of speech, or the freedom to assemble. Anyone outside the group “think” going on in these protests must be attacked and silenced. Is anyone else starting to wonder where the police are when this is going on??!! Why are the rights of the occupiers more important to protect than those peacefully meeting inside a building? The protesters are probably being handled with kid gloves in some locations because we know who would cry the loudest and actually get the media’s attention.

Occupy DC protesters violently injured peaceful Tea Party go-ers (some elderly) and attemped to force entry into the Washington Convention Center on Friday (Nov 4, 2011), where Americans for Prosperity is hosting their “Defending the American Dream Summit.” The protesters also formed roadblocks, surrounding the convention center and only allowing non-luxury cars to pass. Parents with their children were caught in the violence. Some injured… Auto/pedestrian accidents occured as Occupy protestors rushed into the streets hurling profanities at drivers and attempting to block drivers’ paths….

Occupier’s message lost to increasing rape allegations

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 11:05 am

Rapes and molestations are occurring with increasing frequency at many of the occupy protests, and the leaders and funders of these masses of humanity are handling matters by sweeping things under the rug, and telling the victims to keep their mouths shut. I know 99% of America would not handle this kind of crime by ignoring it, as did the victim’s co-protesters, but the 1% sure would. It’s truly sad what these women, and in some cases men, are going through.

The Wall Street Occupiers have become embroiled in a slew of sexual assault allegations in recent weeks, and now Baltimore joins the list of cities with Occupations that have resulted in rape charges.

In an interview with Fox Baltimore, a distraught woman who had previously joined the Occupiers claimed she was raped and robbed Friday night at the Occupy Baltimore’s waterfront campsite.

She made it clear that none of the Occupiers came to her aid or tried to help her identify her attacker afterwards. The unidentified woman also told reporters that she couldn’t go home because her attacker had taken her bills and knew where she lived.

With her voice cracking from apparent shock and rage, the woman said of Occupy Wall Street that “If this is supposed to be a good organization, it isn’t. It’s a crock.”

Let’s hope more of the protesters figure out that the whole occupy thing is a crock before they suffer the same fate as this poor woman. These are the people that want to collapse the system and take back the country. I don’t think I want to live in that country.

Obama Orders FDA to Reduce Drug Shortages (Executive Order)

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 3:44 pm

Has anyone seen Congress lately, or is the government now run strictly by Executive Order? So much for coequal branches of government, and Congress holding the purse strings.

Acting once again without Congress, President Obama on Monday was directing the Food and Drug Administration to take steps to reduce drug shortages that administration officials say have placed patients at risk and led to price gouging.

The president signed an executive order — his fifth in a week — instructing the FDA to take action absent congressional approval.

More and more like a dictatorship every day.

Supercommittee Dems push for stimulus to be part of deficit deal

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 10:18 am

The super committee, set up to find more ways to cut the budget, is being pressured by the Democrat members of the committee to include more stimulus spending as part of the final deal. Perhaps someone could take the democrats aside and explain to them the meaning of spending CUTS. All Democrats know how to do is spend the country into oblivion.

Democrats on the congressional supercommittee this week presented Republicans with a plan to cut the deficit that included billions of dollars in stimulus spending, aides told The Hill.

In a private meeting of the deficit panel Tuesday, Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, presented a proposal backed by a majority of Democrats on the panel that includes trillions of dollars in tax increases. The revenue would partially cover stimulus spending for the economy, aides said.

Hey, voters! Trillions of dollars in new taxes. Is this the hope and change you wanted?

2.5 Million Iranian Students to Celebrate 1979 U.S. Hostage Crisis by Marching in Support of Occupy Wall Street

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 4:49 pm

You can tell the caliber of the mob in Zuccotti Park and elsewhere across the U.S., Canada, and Europe by the friends they attract. In addition to a growing number of hate filled antisemites, the mob is now being supported by Iranian students (many of them probably got their education in America) who are celebrating the American hostage crisis of 1979. The parents of these hippies must be so proud.

Some 2.5 million Iranian students are commemorating what they call a “National Day Against Global Arrogance” on November 4th by rallying in solidarity with the “oppressed and deprived” members of Occupy Wall Street. The day signifies the 1979 takeover of the former U.S. embassy in Tehran by Muslim students, who held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.

Oh, the poor “oppressed and deprived” trust fund babies who CHOOSE to live like animals in a park. Hand me a tissue, the Marxist mob’s plight brings tears to my eyes. Not.

Parents Using Their Kids as Little Wall Street Occupiers

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 11:03 am

Liberals are all for “choice”, until it comes to their children. Then, they’re for indoctrination, and putting their children in danger. I cringe at the thought of these poor kids being subject to hippies having sex in the park, and throwing “F” bombs every chance they get. Is it any wonder our universities have such an easy time turning their children into anarchists and Marxists? If the children are the future, we’re in big trouble.

A group known as “Parents for Occupy Wall Street” organized a “kiddie” sleepover in Zuccotti Park this weekend, which brought young children into a highly politicized situation with serious safety concerns.

The organizer of the Occupy Parents’ group, Kirby Desmarais, told Mother Jones magazine that “the idea is to let parents have a voice in Occupy Wall Street, because normally they cannot be here and also be at home taking care of their families.”

Apparently some 68 families decided they were up for “braving chaos” and “endured cranks and street sweepers.”

But many people are asking question about this wisdom of bringing young children to spend the night in Zuccotti Park or attend protests.

EU bank failures will crash Wall Street

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 9:15 am

Maybe the Occupy Wall Street mob should read a paper once in a while. They may get their wish of crashing Wall Street and the banks, but they’d be protesting the wrong country for the melt down.

A string of European bank collapses is dead ahead. And like the Arab Spring, they will trigger an economic disaster for American banks. Yes, coming soon says Martin Weiss in his “7 Major Advance Warnings,” which is “bound to have a life-changing impact on nearly all investors in the U.S. and around the globe.” His new Weiss Ratings warnings are the “most important” in a 40-year career. The stress on Wall Street banks will force them back to Congress for more bailouts. Warning eight: No new bailouts. That will push the economy into a deep recession.

The rest of the article is as nauseating as the B.O. factor in Zuccotti Park, so consider yourself warned if you read the whole article.

Obama’s Polls Sink to Carteresk Levels

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 7:08 am

Gallup Poll: Only one President Had Lower Approval Ratings than Obama at this point in his presidency. That one President would be Jimmah Cahtah. How fitting, especially in light of Obama’s ever weakening response to a nuclear Iran, and his appeasement of countries that harbor, fund, and sponsor terrorism. I didn’t think it was possible, but I fear Obama is far more dangerous than the peanut farmer that gave us long gas lines, and a hostage crisis that made the U.S. look weak and ineffective.

White House scrubs Islam from terrorism training manuals

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:33 am

Maybe if the White House lies enough, they can at least pretend they established their desired, socialist utopia under Obama. If our terrorism units don’t understand Islam, they’re fighting the War on Terror blind, and with their hands tied behind their backs. Islam is what feeds the Islamic terrorist’s blood lust. Just read the Koran, and it’s obvious. If you’re more ambitious than the current blissfully ignorant administration (or don’t want to hide the truth), read the Haddith as well, or peruse the Islamists’ “terrorist porn” websites. Why do you think the terrorists yell Allah hu Akbar just before they slaughter innocent civilians? Because they are doing it for Allah in the name of Islam, and they aren’t afraid to admit it!

President Obama Will Announce Today Complete Drawdown of US Troops in Iraq by Years End

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:17 pm

Could it be that Obama is actually going to try to fulfill at least one of his campaign promises before the 2012 election? Or, did the teleprompter just tell him to say this?

Sources tell ABC News that the president will announce today that US troops in Iraq will draw down to zero by the end of the year.

A White House official says that at approximately 11:30am today, President Obama convened a secure video conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to talk with him about this news.

I guess there wasn’t enough violence in the Arab world, so Obama needs to completely remove our presence from Iraq. After all, they can’t join the revolution if there are U.S. troops there to keep the peace. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for giving our troops some much needed R&R, but sending troops to Uganda at the expense of stability in Iraq is just plain…..something Obama would do.

Clinton urges reconciliation with Taliban in Afghanistan

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:08 pm

The Taliban was created by Iran to be the militant faction that would head the Islamic Caliphate in Afghanistan, yet our Secretary of State is currently in Afghanistan urging Karsai to continue the “reconciliation process” with these terrorists. Why did we fight this war? Apparently, it was so that our government could help Iran make a new Caliphate possible. Karsai is understandably frustrated by this U.S. policy, considering the recent assassinations within his administration. Americans should be equally as angry at a policy of appeasement and reconciliation with the very terrorists that have killed or maimed hundreds of our troops.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in Afghanistan to encourage President Hamid Karzai to continue efforts to reconcile with the Taliban.

Mr Karzai has expressed frustration at the process after the assassinations of several key Afghan leaders.

US officials say Mrs Clinton also wants to convince Afghans that Washington is committed to a long-term relationship with their country.

The US is planning to withdraw troops and hand over security to the Afghans.

“She wants to signal US support for a secure and stable Afghanistan,” a US official told journalists travelling with Mrs Clinton.

Her visit to Afghanistan was not announced until she arrived in Kabul late on Wednesday.

Brazen assaults

“She wants to emphasise that the United States remains committed to Afghan reconciliation and will support President Karzai in his efforts, recognising the difficulties that process has undergone since the assassination of [Burhanuddin] Rabbani,” the official added.

Burhanuddin Rabbani was a former Afghan president tasked with trying to reconcile the Taliban with Mr Karzai’s US-backed government. He was killed last month by a suicide bomber posing as a Taliban envoy.

Just maybe, when the person appointed to make this reconciliation work gets assassinated by the people he’s trying to make peace with, it might be advisable to RETHINK YOUR POLICY.

Obama administration has released dozens of Iranian fugitives inside the U.S.

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:01 pm

Is it any wonder Iran is attempting terrorist attacks on U.S. soil? Obama is releasing Iranians from custody with, I’m sure, even more contempt for the U.S., and ready to do their worst. The man will never understand that kissing up to terrorists doesn’t make them change their ways, it makes them aware of just how weak and unwilling to fight the war on terror you are. Oh, but let’s protest the workers on Wall Street instead of the weakling making the policies from the White House. Maybe the occupiers are counting on their mounds of refuse to repel any terrorist attacks on New York.

Through a Freedom of Information Act request, CNSNews.com has just reported that during fiscal years 2009 and 2010, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehended and released “at least 28 Iranian nationals inside the United States.” As is all-too common with the federal government’s practice of ‘catch and release,’ they all became fugitives when they failed to show for their immigration court hearings.

Obama’s Homeland Security Department not only released the two dozen Iranians caught under their watch, but also two who had been detained while George Bush was president.

Twenty-one of the Iranian fugitives were originally caught in the border states of Texas, Arizona and California.

How many object lessons do we need before we get serious about sealing our borders??

Occupy Wall Street Mob Continues to Trash New York Park

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 5:46 pm

You never saw this kind of slovenly behavior at Tea Party protests. Tea Party organizers paid for their own electricity, porta-potties, and anything else that would have been thrust on the tax payer, if they were irresponsible about their protests. They routinely left the parks, Washington Mall, and other protest sites cleaner than they found them. Yet they were demonized non-stop by the MSM. This article pointing out the mobs complete thrashing of Zuccotti Park has to be written by a blogger, because the media can’t even bring themselves to point out the obvious about their pet fleabaggers. Be sure to read the article at Flopping Aces, and view the pictures. Anyone who says the occupiers aren’t violent is just plain delusional.
