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.

Clinton: Latin American drug cartels’ links to Iran, Hezbollah a concern

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:52 pm

Since we already have proof that Hezbollah is operating on our southern border, maybe the situation should become more than just a “concern”, and we should actually do something to seal the border with Mexico. Which is more important, Democrats, the Hispanic vote, or the lives of Americans in border states and the infiltration of Islamic terrorists into the country? Never mind. Politics and votes always come before human life with a Democrat.

When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced her concerns on Wednesday over intelligence reports that Latin American drug cartels are closely linked with Hezbollah and Iran, many within the U.S. law enforcement community were grateful that Obama Administration officials were finally acknowledging what cops already knew.

Acknowledging it and doing something about it are two entirely different things. Progressives rarely do the first, and almost never bother with the second.

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?

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?

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.

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….

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.

Dead blackbirds fall again in Arkansas town

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 10:32 pm

These birds apparently just don’t like New Year’s Eve. Or, it was just a really bad year for them. I’ve had those kind of years.

Blackbirds have fallen dead from the sky in a central Arkansas town for the second New Year’s Eve in a row.

KATV showed a radar image that it said showed a large mass over Beebe a few hours before midnight Saturday. The Little Rock television station reported that hundreds of birds had died.

Beebe animal control worker Hearst Taylor told KATV the reason for the bird deaths isn’t yet known.

Last year, fireworks were blamed for the deaths of thousands of birds. It wasn’t immediately clear if year-end celebrations are again to blame.

:snip:

Biologists said last year’s kill was caused by the birds being rousted from their roosts and flying into homes, cars, telephone poles and each other.

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

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.

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

California Hot Dog Vendors Forced to Close Down After Occupiers Splatter Blood, Urine

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 3:15 pm

This is what you get when you support the fleabaggers in Zuccotti Park. The Men’s Warehouse also advertised their support for the mob with huge posters in their windows. Those windows were smashed by protesters with every other business they targeted. Sadly, good people are losing jobs in New York, and once thriving businesses are going under because of the actions of these jerks. I wonder how far New York will let the mob rule go on, before they actually do something about it.

In an ironic twist of fate, the owners of pair of San Diego coffee and hot dog carts — who initially provided free food and beverage to Occupy protesters – had to shut down after demonstrators turned violent, splattering their kiosks with blood and urine. CBS reports that Occupiers stole items from the cart in addition to spray-painting them with graffiti.

If that were not enough, the vendors also said they recently received death threats from protesters.

If I were New York City officials, I’d take them at their word on the death threats. If OWSies aren’t getting enough attention, they’ll up the anti beyond anything most Americans can imagine. And, that violence is only going to spread.

“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.

Gingrich: Anti-Christian Spring Is Coming (Blasts Muslim Student Lawsuit at Catholic University)

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:06 pm

Amen! Newt says it all.

Charges of anti-Muslim discrimination at Catholic University in D.C. has presidential candidate Newt Gingrich up in arms.

“I look at the things that are going on in this country that make no sense to me,” he said to a crowd of about 250 South Carolinians gathered at a pig roast fundraiser organized by the Myrtle Beach Tea Party. “We now have a lawsuit apparently by some Muslim students at Catholic University who are offended being at a Catholic university. Now my first answer to them is ‘Fine, don’t go to a Catholic university.’”

His comments drew applause. Gingrich was referring to allegations that Catholic University of America is illegally discriminating against Muslim students by “denying them access to benefits that other student groups enjoy,” and, in particular, not providing space for daily prayers so that they have to pray in classrooms or campus chapels where they are surrounded by Catholic symbols. The charges are currently being reviewed by the District of Columbia Office of Human Rights.

I wonder how many Madrassas would hide the Koran, change their clothing, or take down images symbolic of Islam for a Christian student? Oh, never mind, Christians wouldn’t even be allowed to enroll for classes at a Muslim school.

And, the infiltration without assimilation continues, one little bit at a time. We may be behind the Brits in their “Muslim problem”, but we’re headed in the same direction.

Obama Orders FDA to Reduce Drug Shortages (Executive Order)

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.

Marxist Prof. to Protesters: Violence Only Avoidable if ‘1% Accept the Decisions of the 99%’

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 3:18 pm

A lesson in not sending your children to any U.S. or overseas “university indoctrination camps”. They will just come home with a lower IQ, and either spout Marxists or Socialists propaganda at you. Look at some of the pictures of the protesters with many thousands of dollars in student loans. It’s pretty obvious that a hard working kid just out of high school would have an easier time getting a job. Encourage your kids to get back to the trades. Nothing wrong with trade schools, and you’ll actually learn something other than how to bring about a violent revolution.

Words from the wise professor to the sheople occupying Wall Street:

Asked if the upcoming revolution can be non-violent, he parroted the party line of the demonstrators, who call themselves the 99 percent of Americans lined up against the “1 percent’’ with power and money.

He said violence could be avoided only if the “1 percent accept the decisions of the 99 percent,’’ which he predicted would never happen.

Basically, these professors want to make your children into Communists with the same violent philosophy as the Islamists. Hence, Iran’s fervent support for the little Marxist occupiers.

The professor is right about one thing, though. The 53% of us who actually pay taxes will never let them have their way.

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?

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.

Violence picks up, and aliance with Islam forms at OWS Protests

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:55 am

Glenn Beck was right again. The Socialists, Communists, and Anarchists that make up the OWSies have a great deal in common with the Islamists and Islam’s controlling Shariah Law. It makes sense that they’ll begin to unite under the same banner. Leftists always side with the “freedom fighter”. It’s sort of a “their enemy is my friend” kind of thing.

CAIR Holds Islamic Prayers at Occupy Wall Street

“many of the demands of Occupy Wall Street parallel those of the New York Muslim community.”

And the demands and goals of Islamic terrorists, I might add. Why do you think they slammed planes into buildings in NEW YORK? They would love to collapse the U.S. economic system (a stated goal of the owsies), and Osama Bin Laden said as much many times in his sermons and dictates to his terrorist minions.

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.

Politicians Make Threats to Keep Contaminate Wall Street going

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 11:51 am

According to Mayor Bloomberg, the owners of Zuccotti Park, where protesters have chosen to concentrate their odor, were threatened by lefty politicians who promised things would get worse for the owners if protesters were not allowed to continue sliming the park. I wonder how many Americans know about the backing these anarchists, revolutionaries, and Communists have within our own government. Not many, if the MSM can help it.

The Occupy Wall Street protest has managed to keep its base of operations in New York‘s Zuccotti Park despite the Mayor’s proclamation that they must leave, and it looks like political pressure played a decisive role.

Mayor Bloomberg said on his weekly radio show that the park’s owner, Brookfield Office Properties, “Got lots of calls from many elected officials threatening them and saying … ‘We’re going to make your life more difficult.’”

If it wasn’t clear enough before, it now appears obvious there are heavy-hitter politicos at work behind the scenes that want Occupy Wall Street to continue.

While there have been no further specifics yet on the “elected officials” Bloomberg mentioned, the occupiers are getting support from across the political, financial, and media worlds.

Protesters clash with NYPD

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 11:01 am

The OWSies got the news this morning that they’d be able to continue squatting in what was once a public park. In celebration, they got some of the confrontation and violence they’ve been looking for. Riding their brooms down to the New York Stock Exchange, while trying to block police, and disobeying police orders, led to several arrests and complaints of police brutality. Straight from the progressive handbook – break the law, play the victim, rinse, and repeat.

A group of protesters headed south on Broadway toward the New York Stock Exchange, carrying their brooms. Police were taken off-guard, Sandberg reported. The group swelled quickly and wound up in a confrontation with police as they tried to gain access to Wall Street. The standoff occurred near Bowling Green as they turned left on Beaver Street.

Police urged protesters to stay out of the street and stay on the sidewalk.

Police scooters were shaped like a V and moved toward the protesters in the standoff. One man lost his balance, and was run over by a police scooter.

“He was just walking and the cop ran him over,” one witness said.

Protesters chanted “The whole world is watching” during the arrests……

They flatter themselves. I doubt the whole world is watching.

Dictator in Chief bypasses Congress

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 7:36 am

I guess this is more of that fundamental transformation we were promised. Obama, in his messianic wisdom, has done away with the silly notion that we have co-equal branches of government, and has instructed his advisers to push through stimulus projects without Congressional approval. Watch the video here.

I wonder where he thinks he’s going to get the money to fund his dictatorship?

Iranian terror plot in US foiled

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 11:45 am

If our leaders, especially our President, don’t wake up to the threat posed by Iran, we’ll be experiencing first hand what Israelis deal with every day.

FBI and DEA agents have disrupted a plot to commit a “significant terrorist act in the United States” tied to Iran, federal officials told ABC News today.

The officials said the plot included the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir, with a bomb and subsequent bomb attacks on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, D.C.

Bombings of the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were also discussed, according to the U.S. officials.

The stunning allegations come against a backdrop of longstanding tensions between Iran and the United States and Saudi Arabia. In the last year, Saudi Arabia has attempted to build an anti-Iran alliance to push back against perceived aggression by Iran in the region.

It doesn’t get any more real than that.

Occupy Wall Street nothing more than a drunken orgie

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 9:49 am

This is the kind of people we’re dealing with….not the 99% or even close. The event should be named “celebrate perversity”.

Among the banners and flags are now discarded packets of condoms, cigarettes and bottles of spirits, while naked youngsters happily get together with just sleeping bags covering their modesty.

A box of free condoms is kept in the main area where protesters are camping. In one shocking picture, a man can be seen defecating on a police car.

‘I got warrants. I’m running from the law,’ a 24-year-old man from Stamford, Connecticut, told the New York Post. ‘I’m not even supposed to be here, but it’s as good a spot as any to hide.’

Protesters said the site smells like a sewer and the free condoms have given visions of what the Woodstock festival was like. But many have come down for the huge amount of food donated.

And guess who’s funding the protests and providing that free food, free condoms, and in some cases a salary for those who responded to a craig’s list ad for paid protesters? You can probably guess – George Soros, the Tides foundation, and unions. Can Nancy Pelosi smell the astroturf? No she’s too busy whining about the Tea Party.

Protesters Foul New York City

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 8:30 am

Protesters in NYC have been captured on film defecating on NYPD squad cars. They’ve so fouled the park where they are squatting, that the park owners say it’s reached unsanitary levels, and poses a health risk.

On top of their filth and stench, the “occupy stuff” crowd is hurting the economy in New York. These are the kind of thoughtless, self absorbed, lazy people we’re dealing with here. They don’t care about jobs, or they’d be looking for one instead of trying to spread disease in the streets of New York. It astonishes me that they think their methods will gain them any support from Middle America, or beyond. If anything, they are alienating themselves as a bunch of fringe jerks. The Tea Party (the 53%) gains support from a majority come election time, because they don’t conduct themselves this way.

Bloomberg has just about had enough of the squatters in his city

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:49 pm

I was wondering how long Mayor Bloomberg would be patient with the protesters in his city. It seems he’s about to reach his limit of anarchists and whiners who are costing his city millions and threatening the jobs of the very people they claim to be protesting for. Not only are the squatters creating unsanitary conditions in city parks, but their squatting in city jails, all at the tax payers expense. It amazes me that these people think shutting down banks will somehow help their economic position. Banks create a lot of jobs in New York, and fund a lot of businesses through loans. That’s more of that common sense and critical thinking, though. They don’t teach that at universities in America anymore. Sad.

New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg took to the airwaves again for his weekly radio show. In his last broadcast, as reported earlier on The Blaze, the New York mayor sounded as if he was getting concerned with the growing number of protesters.

This week he sounds downright annoyed.

His biggest concern?

He believes the protests — should they spiral out of control — will hurt the city’s financial centers, having a ripple effect that would ultimately hurt the workers they claim to fight for.

“What they’re trying to do is take away the jobs of people working in the city, take away the tax base that we have,” Bloomberg said. “We’re not going to have money to pay our municipal employees or anything else.”

Francis Scott Piven indoctrinates her students – “be prepared for street battle”

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:27 pm

This video of Professor Francis Scott Piven is a must see, if you want to know where the “occupy something” protests are headed. They’ve already tried to provoke the NYPD, but that’s just the beginning, according to our wonderful University system. Piven predicts protests spreading and evolving into street battles. I wonder how much these students’ parents are paying to have them learn to be a modern day, 60′s style hippie with a violent streak? I think I’d be pulling my kids out of school, or defunding their expensive social experiment.

Watch the video at The Blaze. It’ll turn your stomach, but you should watch it.

Occupiers Cost New York 2 million dollars, and attack the police

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:10 pm

Here’s a clue for the protesters that want to occupy land for the purposes of throwing a hissy fit. When you plan a group attack on the police in New York City, it’s a battle you should and will lose. Maybe Mommy and Daddy tolerated your childish hatred, but the cops don’t have to. As the NYC Police Commissioner said, it’s common sense. Oh wait….that’s something the occupiers don’t have. If they get beat over the head enough, perhaps they’ll learn it. Who raised these spoiled babies anyway?

New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly made some stunning revelations on Thursday regarding videos that surfaced on YouTube Wednesday night showing police beating back Wall St. protesters. According to him, the protesters actually planned to antagonize police, even instituting a “countdown” before they “charged” officers.

“What they did is they counted. They actually had a countdown — 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 — they grouped together, they joined arms and they charged the police. They attacked the police. They wanted to get into Wall Street, they wanted to occupy Wall Street,” Kelly told reporters.

“These people wanted to have confrontation with the police for whatever reason. Somehow, I guess it works to their purposes,” he added. He also promised such protesters would be “met with force when they do that,“ which he called ”just common sense.”

It’s the 60′s all over again, with a little 1920′s Marxism thrown in for good measure. I vote we make the protesters pay the two million dollars in extra expenses for the police in New York, instead of New York tax payers. I think it’s their fair share.

AZ Congressman: Obama admin may be ACCESSORY TO MURDER with Fast and Furious

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:00 pm

The Obama administration has gotten away with just about everything. Will they get away with murder? Every conservative better get out there and vote into office someone with a moral compass in 2012.

Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona told The Daily Caller the Obama administration officials responsible for Operation Fast and Furious might be accessories to murder.

“We’re talking about consequences of criminal activity — where we actually allowed guns to walk into the hands of criminals — where our livelihoods are at risk,” Gosar said in a phone interview. “When you facilitate that and a murder or a felony occurs, you’re called an accessory. That means that there’s criminal activity.”

Gosar said the government should be held to the same standard as everyone else. Fast and Furious weapons were used to kill U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, as well as scores of Mexican citizens, and he thinks that administration officials should be held accountable.

“We impugn the private sector, we impugn main street America, and the bureaucracy cannot be held to any different standard whatsoever,” Gosar told TheDC. “They [the Justice Department and ATF officials] intentionally — intentionally — violated the law.”

Ahmadinejad Threatens Israel…Again

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 8:57 am

Yet another threat from the nut with nukes. I hope the Iranian regime isn’t preparing to do their worst before our cowardly leader leaves office. God be with the Jews, Christians, and Arabs in Israel.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad criticized Turkey on Tuesday for hosting a NATO early-warning radar system, saying it was aimed at protecting Israel but warning it would “not stop the fall of the Zionist regime.”

The Turkish and US governments said last month the radar system would help spot missile threats coming from outside Europe, including potentially from Iran. The system, provided by the United States, is to become operational later this year.

“This radar system is more aimed at defending the Zionist regime,” Ahmadinejad said in a live television interview late on Tuesday.

“They want to make sure that our missiles do not reach the occupied territories, in case they acted militarily against Iran one day,” he added.

“We have told our Turkish friends that it was not right to give this permission and that it was not in their benefit to do this… But such radar system will not stop the fall of the Zionist regime.”

This doesn’t sound like an Arab Spring to me. It sounds like we’re getting prepared for an Islamic attack on Israel.
