Obama Admin Revealed to Be Lying More About Embassy Attacks

The Obama administration is showing that they were knowingly derelict in their duty to protect American citizens and territory. More and more, it is looking like the administration had knowledge ahead of 48 hours, more like 3 days. Also, it looks like they are in a state of denial about whether or not the attacks were premeditated. Do we want this type of childish, amateurish handling of our security? I don't. First, the newest info on how much the admin knew and when did they know it. From this was CNN:

Three days before the deadly assault on the United States consulate in Libya, a local security official says he met with American diplomats in the city and warned them about deteriorating security.
Jamal Mabrouk, a member of the February 17th Brigade, told CNN that he and a battalion commander had a meeting about the economy and security.
He said they told the diplomats that the security situation wasn't good for international business.
"The situation is frightening, it scares us," Mabrouk said they told the U.S. officials. He did not say how they responded.

OK, this is not actionable in the sense of sending an assault team to clear out some baddies. However, wouldn't this merit Marine protection? Increased alerts? Something? Our admin and state department did nothing while everyone except them, it seems, seemed to take the threats seriously....PATHETIC....

Meanwhile, AmbASSador Susan Rice, a known liar, has said that there is "no indication" the attacks were premeditated...in other words, the whole "the stupid movie cannard caused all this":

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi last week was not premeditated, directly contradicting top Libyan officials who say the attack was planned in advance.
“Our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous – not a premeditated – response to what had transpired in Cairo,” Rice told me this morning on “This Week.” In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated,” Rice said, referring to protests in Egypt Tuesday over a film that depicts the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud. Protesters in Cairo breached the walls of the U.S. Embassy, tearing apart an American flag.
“We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo,” Rice said. “And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons… And it then evolved from there.”"

FOLKS? FOLKS? These are cryptoislamofascists who raped and killed and dragged a Unied States Citizen, much less an ambassador, through the streets shouting Allah is great, and you call them folks? You stupid twit! Obviously, the fact that safehouses were compromised and key details of the Ambassador being in country being leaked show premeditation. Even the libyans are calling b.s. on the whole "spontaneous combustion" crap:

Libya President Mohamed Yousef El-Magariaf said Sunday that 50 arrests have been made in connection with last week's "preplanned" attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead.

"The way these perpetrators acted and moved -- I think we, and they're choosing the specific date for this so-called demonstration, I think we have no, this leaves us with no doubt that this was pre-planned, determined," Magariaf said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

This administration does not want to admit how badly they fumbled the ball and how they have made the world less safe, not more so, for Americans.....
And, the narrative of the Ambassador not being dragged or that the people around him on video are looking like that is garbage too, as breitbart is reporting a new video showing someone reportedly to be Stephens being dragged and the scumbags chanting and such....

This needs to stop......We need the truth...we need real leadership that will hunt down the scumbags, that will go after them...but most of all, will inspire again the respect that you do not mess with Americans. Appeasement and capitulation doesn't work. Obama doesn't work. Let's begin again.....

Three Brown County Women Enjoyed the Booing God Convention

Three Brown County women enjoyed attending a convention where God was booed and shouted down not ONCE, NOT TWICE, BUT THREE TIMES. I wonder what their churches (if they have any) think about it? These women, two teachers who are union hacks, one who was a "close" confidant of Ted Strickland and head of a local teacher union terribly misrepresent the facts. The close confidant of Ted Strickland has in the past with other superintendents railroaded prospective teachers if she knew they were republican, leading to them not being hired and/or put on substitute lists. But then again, that is what liberals do. From the Obama Propaganda rag in Brown County, the News Democrat:

Alta Beasley, long-time supporter of the Brown County Democratic Party, Melissa Cropper, president of the Ohio Federation of Teachers, and Theresa Montgomery, a retired educator, have returned to Brown County from their trip to the 46th Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.

It was Beasley's second time attending the event, and the first for Cropper and Montgomery.

You may recognize the name Beasley....this woman is related to Gordon Beasley, the former Brown County Engineer (who allowed numerous homes to be built in flood plains, then claims no culpability) who went on to become one of the most inept heads of ODOT this state has ever had.

In the article, the women all remark how the convention was highlighted by regular people speaking...You know, regular people like Sandra Fluke, the woman who thinks the govt. should pay for her irresponsibility with her own vagina by making churches violate their own creeds by paying for contraceptives and birth control. Or, people like the former Michigan governor who claiimed Obama saved the American auto industry, while not talking about how GM is ready to go bankrupt again, or how Ford was able to do better without accepting bailout money!

Or how about all these "regular folks" who booed God:




So, the next time Josh Black, Kelly Moran, Tom Grennan, Sherrod Brown, Dale Anderson, or any other person running on the Democrat ticket visit you and ask for your vote...ask them some simple questions:
1. Are they Christian?
2. Did they know their party booed God three times?
3. If they know this, then how can they claim the same mantle that not only boos God, but cheers when talking about killing 50 million babies through abortion?
4. If they are a Democrat, then how can they be a Christian since the Democrat National Convention boos God down?

I'm just curious their answer......

Obama and DOJ Doing Al-Qaeda's Stalking for Them

You know the cannard that some film no one ever heard of "caused" the attacks on US embassies and consulates, that Obama's spiking Osama's head and the anniversary of 9/11 had nothing to do with it, but some little movie no one heard of really ticked off the peace loving peoples of LIBYA and EGYPT to the point that Americans were killed? Yeah, that lie. Well, Obama's DOJ is endangering lives by outing people associated with the film, opening them up to attacks by Islamofascists. So, Dinesh D'Souza, you better be careful what you say about Islam. Because, if you ever said anything bad, then Obama will out you because you made a film that is troublesome to him. I'm just saying. Read this trouncing of a person's rights by an abusive dictatorial regime--the United States Government--Im sad to say:

slamic extremists kill an Ambassador abroad and a U.S. citizen’s name and past problems with law enforcement are suddenly in the news?? This is outrageous. They’re looking to undermine the film by destroying him instead of focusing on the murderers. There’s no excuse for this coming from the Feds and Holder.

Federal authorities have identified a southern California man once convicted of financial crimes as the key figure behind the anti-Muslim film that ignited mob violence against U.S. embassies across the Mideast, a U.S. law enforcement official said Thursday.

Attorney General Eric Holder said that Justice Department officials had opened a criminal investigation into the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other diplomats killed during an attack on the American mission in Benghazi. It was not immediately clear whether authorities were focusing on the California filmmaker as part of that probe.

So, Holder and Co. have just made this person's life over. This person is now going to have to go into hiding. And who knows, this could be wrong. I mean, considering the President's advisers, maybe he got the info from Spike Lee, the guy who put an elderly couple's lives in danger because he listed their address as where George Zimmerman lived (the whole Florida shooting thing).

Completely pathetic and demonstrative of the fascism and elitism of this administration.

Obama's Arrogance at Fault for Lack of Preparedness at Embassies?

In a post-9/11 world, George W. Bush saw the need for frequent intel briefings. He was known to cancel other things, risking political backhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giflash, to get his briefings to make decisions. Not so with Barack Obama. Maybe if he had actually had a briefing recently, he could have known something was up in regards to the embassy and terror attacks:

How long had it been since President Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting in the lead-up to the Sept. 11 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Egypt and Libya? After all, our adversaries are known to use the anniversary of 9/11 to target the United States.

According to the public schedule of the president, the last time the Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting was Sept. 5 — a week before Islamist radicals stormed our embassy in Cairo and terrorists killed our ambassador to Tripoli. The president was scheduled to hold the intelligence meeting at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, the day after the attacks, but it was canceled so that he could comfort grieving employees at the State Department — as well he should. But instead of rescheduling the intelligence briefing for later in the day, Obama apparently chose to skip it altogether and attend a Las Vegas fundraiser for his re-election campaign. One day after a terrorist attack.When I asked National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor if the president had attended any meetings to discuss the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) since Sept. 5, he repeatedly refused to answer. He noted that Obama had attended a principals meeting of the National Security Council on Sept. 10 and reiterated that he reads the PDB. “As I’ve told you every time you ask, the President gets his PDB every day,” Vietor told me by e-mail, adding this swipe at Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush: “Unlike your former boss, he has it delivered to his residence in the morning and not briefed to him.” (This new line of defense was echoed this morning by my Post colleague, Dana Milbank, who writes that Bush was briefed every day by his intelligence advisers because he “decided he would prefer to read less.”)

Vietor’s reply is quite revealing. It is apparently a point of pride in the White House that Obama’s PDB is “not briefed to him.” In the eyes of this administration, it is a virtue that the president does not meet every day with senior intelligence officials. This president, you see, does not need briefers. He can forgo his daily intelligence meeting because he is, in Vietor’s words, “among the most sophisticated consumers of intelligence on the planet.”

Yes, because having someone give you additional details makes you stupid. The way these people use Bush as a crutch and blame is pathetic.

Truly sophisticated consumers of intelligence don’t see it as a sign of weakness to “be briefed” by the experts. Most of us, if we subscribed to a daily report on, say, astrophysics, would probably need some help interpreting it. But when it comes to intelligence, Obama is apparently so brilliant he can absorb the most complicated topics by himself in his study. He does not need to sit down for up to an hour a day with top intelligence officials, or hold more than 100 “deep dives” in which he invites CIA analysts into the Oval Office and gives them direct access to the commander in chief to discuss their areas of expertise. Such meetings are crutches this president does not need.

No, he wants to party and get his ESPN on, don't you get it? It's not about being a leader, it's about being seen and communicating...not doing.

Obama has more important things to do — such as attend Las Vegas fundraisers.

No doubt the intelligence community has adapted to its diminished access to the commander in chief and is finding a way to get the president the intelligence he needs. Members of the community have endured a lot these past 3 1/2 years — accusations of torture from the Oval Office; more than 100 criminal investigations from the Obama Justice Department that resulted in zero — zero — criminal charges being filed; a president who is quick to claim credit for killing Osama bin Laden while denying credit to the CIA interrogators who made the mission possible. They’ll survive not being invited more frequently into the Oval Office.

But the hubris of a president who believes he does not need to meet regularly with them is astounding. When President John F. Kennedy gathered every living American Nobel laureate for dinner at the White House in 1962, he declared it “the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” Apparently, in this administration’s view, Kennedy had it wrong — the most extraordinary collection of talent and knowledge ever gathered in the White House is when Barack Obama reads his daily intelligence brief alone.

So, since Obama is so smart and is so prescient and such, why didn't the Marines have the necessary armaments? Why were we relying on Egyptian and Libyan security instead of beefed up and armed Marines? So, I must ask: Isn't this a gross dereliction of duty, especially since this president needs no briefers and is the smartest man ever? What did he know and when did he know it, and why didn't he act...Let's see his PDBs for the last month. He couldn't have missed anything, because he is the chosen one.

This arrogance is typical of this narcissistic insecure little manchild. And it is getting Americans killed.

Lawless Obama Administration: Kathleen Sebelius Edition

Kathleen Sebelius is the Secretary of Health and Human Services. She was a huge advocate for the scumbaggery that is Obamacare. She wants to know everything about your lives. She is also a lawbreaker. She has flouted the law, but this is no different from many in Obama's cabinet. Where is the media outrage? from Heritage:

Independent federal legal officials have concluded that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius violated federal law by conducting political activity “in an official capacity,” according to a statement released on Wednesday.

“Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made extemporaneous partisan remarks in a speech delivered in her official capacity on February 25, 2012,” the news release from the U.S. Office of Special Council states.

The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from using their official authority or influence to affect the outcome of an election. A federal employee is permitted to make partisan remarks when speaking in their personal capacity, but not when using their official title or when speaking about agency business.

After the event, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reclassified the trip from official to political and issued a statement to that effect. Secretary Sebelius and HHS reimbursed the U.S. Treasury for all costs and expenses associated with her travel to the event. OSC found no evidence that Secretary Sebelius made any other political statements in her official capacity.

The Obama administration’s decision to allow cabinet secretaries such as Sebelius to speak at events sponsored by large Democratic electioneering groups has raised other Hatch Act concerns.

It's Not All About the Children: Failing Teachers Leave Illiterate Kids in Lurch in Chicago

To hear the teachers on strike tell it in Chicago, this strike is all about protecting our children. It is all about wanting children to have competent teachers in the classroom. Well, the kids now have no competent teachers and aren't in the classrooms. Teachers in Chicago are walking out and going on strike, despite their very generous pension plans. They want more. And no, it is not about competency nor your children. They want to protect their incompetent brethren, which there appears to be a lot of in the Language Arts and Reading areas from this story:

Seventy-nine percent of the 8th graders in the Chicago Public Schools are not grade-level proficient in reading, according to the U.S. Department of Education, and 80 percent are not grade-level proficient in math.

Chicago public school teachers went on strike on Monday and one of the major issues behind the strike is a new system Chicago plans to use for evaluating public school teachers in which student improvement on standardized tests will count for 40 percent of a teacher’s evaluation. Until now, the evaluations of Chicago public school teachers have been based on what a Chicago Sun Times editorial called a “meaningless checklist.”

What, holding teachers accountable for improvement? We can't have that! I know. I am a teacher on the outside looking in trying to get work, and the teachers unions are working on keeping me out because due to my lack of tenure, they won't be able to take as high amounts of money from me as they do my more experienced people, some of whom are just going through the motions. So, they protect the unmotivated. Even the Uber Liberal Sun Times called the former eval instrument a meaningless checklist. Read further for how these selfish teachers haven't been doing their jobs:

Nationally, public school 8th graders scored an average of 264 on the NAEP reading test. Statewide in Illinois, the 8th graders did a little better, scoring an average of 266. But in the Chicago Public Schools, 8th graders scored an average of only 253 in reading. That was lower even than the nationwide average of 255 among 8th graders in “large city” public schools.

With these NAEP test results, only 19 percent of Chicago public school 8th graders rated proficient in reading while another 2 percent rated advanced—for a total of 21 percent who rated proficient or better.

79 percent of Chicago public school 8th graders were not grade-level proficient in reading. According to the U.S. Department of Education, this included 43 percent who rated “basic” and 36 percent who rated “below basic.”

In the 8th grade math test, Chicago public school 8th graders scored an average of 270 out of 500, compared to an average of 274 for 8th graders in “large city” public schools, and 283 for 8th graders nationally as well as statewide in Illinois.

With these NAEP test results, only 17 percent of Chicago public school 8th graders rated proficient in math while another 3 percent rated advanced—for a total of 20 percent who rated proficient or better.

Thus, 80 percent of Chicago public school 8th graders were not grade-level proficient in math. According to the U.S. Department of Education, this included 40 percent who rated “basic” in math and 40 percent who rated “below basic.”

So, Chicago 8th graders, 70-80% of whom can't do grade level math, are somehow being benefitted by missing more days of school. And paying teachers more and giving them less stringent standards is supposed to make the kids' lives and education better. Seriously?

And if some of you out there buy the lame excuse it is about helping get better teachers and it is about the kids, check this out:

Maldonado blamed the union as he walked into the briefing room with his 7-year-old son, Roberto II, carrying a backpack.

“This is the effect of the union right now,” Maldonado, whose wife had the couple’s two other children Monday.

“We’re lucky enough that is not that much of a hardship on us, But it’s a hardship on the kids.”

“The reason that they decided to go on strike is a stretch,” he continued. “If there are no challenges in terms of the financial aspects of the negotiations and the only hang-up is the thing about imposing upon principals to hire laid-off teachers — I mean if I’m going to hold accountable my principal at the school where my kids go for the education of my kids...I need to give (the principal) the flexibility to hire who they perceive to be the best teachers. That’s just logical.”

Those sticking points, though, caused teachers to show up in large numbers early Monday morning, picketing at local schools. “We do not intend to sign an agreement until all matters of our contract are addressed,” Lewis said. “We are committed to staying at the table.”

The school board’s last offer included a 3 percent raise the first year and 2 percent raises the next three years — a slight increase from an earlier offer of two percent raises in each of the next four years.

The package, which would cost $400 million, keeps increases for experience and credentials with some modifications.

Vitale said the contract amounted to a 16 percent raise over four years for the average teacher when factoring other increases. And the raises could not be rescinded for lack of funds — which is what happened this past school year, angering teachers and helping to set the stage for Monday’s strike.

“This is not a small commitment we’re making at a time when your fiscal situation is really challenged,” Vitale said. A $1 billion deficit awaits the system at the end of this school year, officials have estimated. And the district drained its reserve funds to plug this year’s budget.

Do you get a 16% raise over four years? Why should failing teachers?

Ultimate Sacrifice Earns Ultimate Snub from President

Imagine, folks, if George W. Bush sent fallen soldiers' families, especially Navy SEALS, who have been the edge of the spear for the last 12 years, condolence letters that were simply form letters with autopen signatures. You would hear the media screaming about how he really didn't care about the families, about how he just viewed the military as tools for taking back his Daddy's failures in Iraq, etc... But, where except on WMD and Drudge and Gateway Pundit do you hear that IN FACT we have a President in Barack Obama who is sending form letters with autopen signatures to the families of the best and brightest who have given the last full measure of their devotion under his command?
DISGUSTING....

From Gateway Pundit:

On August 6, 2011, 30 US service members were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter they were being transported in crashed in Wardak province, Afghanistan. It was the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the decade-long war in Afghanistan. 17 members of the elite Navy SEALs were killed in the crash.

Yesterday, Karen and Billy Vaughn, parents of Aaron Carson Vaughn, spoke at the Defending the Defenders forum sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots outside the RNC Convention in Tampa. Karen brought a copy of the form letter they were sent following their son’s death.

It’s a form letter.

It was signed by an electric pen.

That’s not all.
Karen Vaughn reached out to the parents of the other SEALs killed in that crash.
Their letters were all the same.
Form letters – signed by an electric pen.

But, as the post notes, His The Oneness did take time out from golfing and campaigning and stealing from Medicare to write the family of rapper Heavy D a letter of condolence when he passed away....

So at least he has some priorites....just the wrong damn ones!

NBC's Andrea Mitchell Thinks the Deaths of Agent Terry and Others are Just a Distraction

Meet Andrea Mitchell:









She makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. She is a reporter for MSNBC and NBC News, aka the Obama Network, owned by a known Obama Schill. This woman has the best life ever, and she thinks Americans are stupid. She gets paid to rattle off a teleprompter and inject her misinformed opinion to tens of Americans. She is vastly overpaid, has never done anything to help the country, and thinks that Brian Terry's family doesn't deserve justice or to know if/how the government basically gave guns that murdered their loved one. Here is what this hack/b**ch said:

"It is a distraction, it is politics writ large in Washington..."

Meet Brian Terry:







Brian was a border patrol agent. He didn't make a lot of money. He did, however, serve his country and sought to protect and defend the Constitution.

Meet Brian's family:





Why are they crying? They are at Brian's funeral. They are still crying because they want justice for Brian. Brian was killed with weapons that were part of Operation Fast and Furious, an operation that was more about making news to get more gun control laws than it was about stopping drug cartels. They cry out for justice. You know who else does?

Meet Jaime Zapata:





He was a federal agent. Served his country, unlike you, Ms. Mitchell. He was murdered by guns linked to Fast and Furious.

Meet the Zapatas:






They lost someone because the Obama Administration botched this operation. They lost someone who was killed by guns that were furnished by the country he died defending....Don't you think these families deserve to know how far up the idiocy and incompetence ran? Don't the American people, who paid for this operation? What about these people, Andrea? What about the hundreds, if not thousands of Mexicans killed with these guns? What about them? It is not a &#&&#^^#ng distraction to them, you self serving Obama loving synchophantic tin eared hack!!!! How dare you call this a distraction! How dare you tell the victims' families that they are just a distraction. Shame on you and your entire piss poor propaganda organization, you fish mouthed seabass!

They Fight On Behalf of the Country, Obama, not "On Your Behalf"

Mr. Obama has gone too far. Once again, the real imperial statist comes out when he speaks off the cuff in interviews away from his precious teleprompter and handlers. He thinks the military fight for him, not the country. That is disgusting. From the Weekly Standard:

In his ABC interview, the president pretended that his much touted “evolution” had now led him, ineluctably, to speak out now, today; he simply could longer stay silent. ABC let him off the hook, but this is not a credible account. In March, the Washington Post was reporting the debate among his advisers on whether the issue would help or hurt the reelection campaign and what, therefore, Obama should say: “Obama’s top political advisers have held serious discussions with leading Democrats about the upsides and downsides of coming out for gay marriage before the fall election.”

The same advisers told the Post that Obama would make the decision based on his gut, but that is an insulting way to refer to the vice president. There is no evidence that Obama planned to speak until Joe Biden said last weekend that he was for gay “marriage” and forced the issue.

Obama sent Biden out as a trial balloon. When NC went the way it did, and the far left backlash began, he had his move to make in his war on mainstream America.

Mr. Obama’s statement today is a marvel:

“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together; when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that ‘don't ask, don't tell’ is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”

Did you just read that? this imperial emperor wannabe says the troops fight for him? No sir, they fight for the whole country, for every man woman and child. Not for just "your behalf." This self serving two faced triple talker says his positions has evolved. In fact, his strategy is one of desperation:

In fact, Obama has not “evolved”—he has changed his position whenever his political fortunes required him to do so. Running for the Illinois state senate from a trendy area of Chicago in 1996, he was for gay marriage. “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages,” he wrote in answer to a questionnaire back then. In 2004, he was running for the U.S. Senate and needed to appeal to voters statewide. So he evolved, and favored civil unions but opposed homosexual “marriage.” In 2008, running for president, he said, “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.” Now in 2012, facing a tough reelection campaign where he needs energized supporters of gay “marriage” and has disappointed them with his refusal to give them his support, he is for it. To paraphrase John Kerry, he was for it before he was against it before he was for it again.

Talk about flip flops. Of course, I figured he was for gay marriage the first time I saw Michelle....Just putting it out there....

I love the way the Standard wraps it up:

But Mr. Obama actually did bare his soul unintentionally today (perhaps the Biden disease is catching) with his astonishing characterization of American fighting men and women, whom he referred to as “those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf.” Really?

Most Americans thought they were fighting for the country, not on Barack Obama’s behalf. Slip of the tongue, to be sure, but can one think of another president who’d have made it? They are fighting under his command, under his orders, to be sure, but this particular locution is offensive and solipsistic. Mr. Obama has switched his position on the sanctity of marriage back and forth and has a new one, again, today, revealed when politics made that advisable to him and to his campaign. Whether this is the end or he will “evolve” some more is anyone’s guess.

But let’s leave our soldiers out of this. They aren’t fighting for Mr. Obama and his campaign, and no one sent them out to risk their lives to win same sex “marriage.”

An egomaniacal, self serving hypocritical flip flopper who cares only for the perks of being the "preezy" and having his weekly concerts and biweekly vacations. Disgusting. A disgrace to the office not seen since Bill Clinton's monicagate.

Florida Dems Desecrate American Flag with Obama's Likeness

This is an outrage....from Ch 9 in florida:

Tempers are flaring over a version of the American flag flying in Lake County. A veterans group says the flag is an outrage.

The flag, which features a picture of President Obama, was taken down Tuesday afternoon.

Korean war veteran Don Van Beck said his blood was boiling.

"I can't describe how upset was because you just don't do that to the American flag," Van Beck said.

Van Beck found it flying outside Lake County Democratic headquarters under the stars and stripes. Marine Corps vet John Masterjohn was seeing red.

"Joseph Stalin, pictures of Mao, pictures of Adolph Hitler. The pomp, the ceremony -- the flags like that," Masterjohn said.

Nearly a dozen veterans went to the door and aimed to take it down.

"No. This is private property. This is private property. You're not allowed to touch anything. I'll call the police," Democratic Party chairwoman Nancy Hulbert said. "Just went online. Just went online and looked up the flag code. There is no higher-up in Lake County. I'm responsible. I take responsibility."

"If you've been a veteran and fought -- and some died for this flag -- you don't want to see it desecrated. That's how simple it is," Van Beck said.

Obama Holds Seniors and Dependents Hostage

President Obama is not only a liar, he is also a dedicated manipulator who plays on class, age, and race warfare. His latest: scaring seniors and dependents AGAIN regarding social security. This time, he is saying that debt deal that RAISES YOUR TAXES AND TAKES MORE MONEY OUT OF YOUR POCKET is not passed and the GOP House roll over and play dead, then maybe grandma won't get her ssi check. This is patently false. Here is the text and there is a video of the President saying this lie:

President Obama on Tuesday said he cannot guarantee that retirees will receive their Social Security checks August 3 if Democrats and Republicans in Washington do not reach an agreement on reducing the deficit in the coming weeks.

"I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it," Mr. Obama said in an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley, according to excerpts released by CBS News.

Lots of people are refuting Obama's lie and threat:
Rush Limbaugh
Human Events

Pathetic. This is what it has come to. He truly is a thug in chief. Here is what he is doing:

Weiner Update: Pelosi Loves the Weiner, and A New Weiner Examination

Nancy Pelosi refuses to take much of a stand on Anthony Weiner. She thinks he can stay:

Amid increasing calls for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says the decision should be up to the congressman and his New York constituents.

The former speaker said in San Francisco that she believes the decision should be made by "the individual member" and the people in his district.

Weiner, a seven-term Democrat, has admitted sending sexually explicit photos and messages over the Internet to a half dozen women over the past three years. Pelosi has asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate whether Weiner used any government resources.

But Nancy, do you love a weiner that shows itself to little girls? From Delaware:

NEW CASTLE, Del. -- Police here are investigating direct online communications between New York Rep. Anthony Weiner and a 17-year-old girl and are looking for any other young women who may be involved, though the nature of the communications wasn't immediately clear.

The police probe comes as Weiner, who is married, fends off calls from both sides of the aisle in Congress for him to quit after he admitted to lying about his inappropriate online and phone communications with a half dozen women.

Weiner's interactions with the Delaware girl "were neither explicit nor indecent," Weiner spokeswoman Risa Heller said Friday night.

Two officers from the New Castle County Police Department arrived at the high school junior's home around 4:30 p.m. Friday and asked to speak with the girl's mother about the daughter's contact with Weiner, the disgraced Democrat. Another officer appeared at the home a short time later. A FoxNews.com reporter was at the home when the police arrived.

The girl, whose name is being withheld because she is a minor, told FoxNews.com, "I'm doing OK."


The police left the home after about 30 minutes, followed by the daughter and mother, who left in a separate car. It was not clear if the mother and daughter were going to continue the conversation with police at another location.

Sources close the student said the girl followed Weiner on Twitter after seeing him speak during a school trip to Washington on April 1. Weiner, after signing on to follow the girl's Twitter feed, direct-messaged the girl on April 13, the sources said, though it is not clear what other communication the two may have had between or after those dates. Weiner no longer follows the girl on Twitter.

At a news conference Monday, Weiner responded to mounting reports of inappropriate online communications by admitting he had sent lewd photos and sexually suggestive messages to six women through social networking sites over a three-year period.

Busted! Hollywood Types Admit Liberal Bias

And it is all captured on tape! Check this out:

In clips that will hit the Internet to promote a new book, producers including "Friends" co-creator Marta Kauffman and "House" creator David Shore say Hollywood discriminates against and belittles conservatives.

Some of TV’s top executives from the past four decades may have gotten more than they bargained for when they agreed to be interviewed for a politically charged book that was released Tuesday, because video of their controversial remarks will soon be hitting the Internet.

The book makes the case that TV industry executives, writers and producers use their clout to advance a liberal political agenda. The author bases his thesis on, among other things, 39 taped interviews that he’ll roll out piecemeal during the next three weeks.

The Hollywood Reporter obtained several of the not-yet-released clips, embedded below. Each contains a snippet of an interview, usually some historical footage of the TV shows the interviewee was responsible for and, naturally, a plea to purchase the book, “Primetime Propaganda” by Ben Shapiro and published by Broad Side, an imprint of HarperCollins.

In one video, Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman says that when she cast Candace Gingrich-Jones, half-sister of Republican former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, as the minister of a lesbian wedding, “There was a bit of ‘fu** you’ in it to the right wing.”

Kauffman also acknowledges she “put together a staff of mostly liberal people,” which is another major point of Shapiro’s book: that conservatives aren’t welcome in Hollywood.

Maybe that’s because they’re “idiots” and have “medieval minds.” At least that’s what Soap and Golden Girls creator Susan Harris thinks of TV’s conservative critics.

However, the ranks of dumb right-wingers has dwindled, according to Harris, whose video has her saying: “At least, you know, we put Obama in office, and so people, I think, are getting – have gotten – a little bit smarter.”

Some of the videos have executives making rather obvious revelations, like when Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds talk about pacifist messages in M*A*S*H or when MacGyver producer Vin Di Bona says anti-gun messages were a recurring theme in that show.

But an additional video has Di Bona, who also created America’s Funniest Home Videos, becoming remarkably blunt about his approval of a lack of political diversity in Hollywood. When Shapiro asks what he thinks of conservative critics who say everyone in Hollywood is liberal, Di Bona responds: “I think it’s probably accurate, and I’m happy about it.”

Check out the link to the story for video of the scumbag liberals. Gee, these types of attitudes would be decried as fascist or bigoted or hatespeech if they were about GLBT or about ethnic groups. This type of lack of diversity would result in special set asides if the situations were reversed. Hollywood is not reflective of American values. It is high time we hold these clowns accountable. Disgusting and disturbing.

And the saddest part is these self important supposed best and brightest were suckered by their own arrogance and views of people:

Shapiro said the executives felt comfortable talking about politics with him because they assumed, incorrectly, that he is on the left.

“Most of them didn’t Google me. If they had, they would have realized where I am politically,” he said. “I played on their stereotypes. When I showed up for the interviews, I wore my Harvard Law baseball cap — my name is Ben Shapiro and I attended Harvard, so there’s a 98.7 percent chance I’m a liberal. Except I happen not to be.”

The New Civility: Joe Biden Compares GOP to Rapists, Rape Deniers

Yeah, thank goodness for that new tone. I am so glad that we are done with the tasteless comparisons, the straw men, and were just going to have civil debate. Oh wait, never mind. From the Hill:

In setting up his comparison, the vice president explained to the audience that before the Violence Against Women Act that he championed was passed into law, “there was this attitude in our society of blaming the victim," according to a press pool account of the event.



“When a woman got raped, blame her because she was wearing a skirt too short, she looked the wrong way or she wasn't home in time to make the dinner,” Biden said.

“We've gotten by that,” he said. “But it's amazing how these Republicans, the right wing of this party – whose philosophy threw us into this God-awful hole we’re in, gave us the tremendous deficit we’ve inherited – that they’re now using, now attempting to use, the very economic condition they have created to blame the victim – whether it’s organized labor or ordinary middle-class working men and women. It's bizarre. It's bizarre.”



Nice to know our VP is leading the charge in this new civility, isn't it?

Oh yeah, let's see, this is the same guy who was supposed to be watchdogging the stimulus, and we have seen all the waste going on with that.

Needless to say, the GOP was not very happy:

"As much as Vice President Biden should retract this specific statement, he should apologize for comparing our country’s dismal economic situation to such horrid acts as violence against women,” said Joanna Burgos, spokeswoman for the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC).

TSA vs. Baywatch Beauty: I Wonder What Caught Their Eye, Too

Donna D'Errico is a beautiful 42 year old woman. She was a former star on Baywatch and a 1995 Playboy playmate. She is the latest to be singled out for more "intense" screening. I guess maybe she had some weapons of mass discussion of her own that "caught the agents' eyes":

After waiting in a long line of holiday travelers, D'Errico and her son finally made it to the moving carrier where all the carry-on bags are placed. That's when a TSA agent took her by the elbow and told her she needed to "come this way.""I said I was traveling with my son, motioning to him, and the agent said he was to come along with me as well," D'Errico said. "I immediately asked why we were having to go through an extra search, and no one else was being made to do so, indicating the long line of other passengers in front of and behind where we had been in line. In a very sarcastic tone, and still holding me by the elbow, the agent responded, 'Because you caught my eye, and they' -- pointing to the other passengers -- 'didn't.'"

D'Errico is still wondering how she caught his eye while others didn't.

"My boyfriend and his partner sailed through with no problems, which is rather ironic in that my boyfriend fits the stereotypical 'look' of a terrorist when his beard has grown in a bit, which it was that evening," she said."I'm not sure whether they had recognized me or not," she admitted. "If they did, they didn't say anything. However, it is my personal belief that they pulled me aside because they thought I was attractive. My boyfriend, as I mentioned before, looks much more like a terrorist than either I or my son do, and he went through security with no problems."

The TSA rules regarding scans and searches dictate that passengers can select a scan or a search. D'Errico says that was never an option.

"They never even told me what they were doing at all, or that I had any choice," she said. "It was just, 'Stand here. Raise your arms above your head like this.' They never told me that they were going to be conducting a full-body scan, or that I had the option of being searched instead. Had they explained what they were doing, I would have opted for the search. As a matter of fact, my son was made to not only go through the full-body scan, but they also conducted a pat-down search on him as well.

"After the search, I noticed that the male TSA agent who had pulled me out of line was smiling and whispering with two other TSA agents and glancing at me. I was outraged."

OK, aside from the prejudicial statement about looking like a terrorist, this appears to be a case of an agent wanting to see Donna's goods, without paying for a magazine or looking up some pics on the net. What a disgrace!

TSA: Groping AND Stealing?

Yes, folks, the TSA agents, who aren't subject to psychological screening, apparently grope AND steal. From a Washington Examiner editorial:

If you've flown lately, the odds are good that you had a rubber-gloved Transportation Security Administration agent touch you in places that would otherwise result in the issuance of an arrest warrant for unwanted groping. Even so, despite years of imposing increasingly invasive new security procedures, the TSA has yet to catch one terrorist. By contrast, the Washington Post reported in May that "at least 23" TSA agents have been fired since 2007 for stealing from passengers. There were also "at least eight unrelated incidents involving practical jokes played on air passengers, drug use, leaving a security post and falling asleep on the job."

OUTRAGEOUS!

Senate Dems Endangering Children in Haiti for DREAM Amnesty

In other words, like Saddam and the terrorists, the Democrats are going to use poor children as human shields to get this shamnesty passed:

According to a letter written by Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.), House Democratic Leadership is thinking of attaching the DREAM Act Amnesty bill to an immigration-related bill he introduced. The Help HAITI Act would allow the Department of Homeland Security to offer permanent residency to orphaned children who came to the United States after the devastating earthquake earlier this year.

Rep. Fortenberry has earned an A-grade from NumbersUSA and is a cosponsor of four of our 5-Great Immigration Bills offered this Congress.

“I’m at a total loss. This is about helping the children in the wake of the earthquake,” Rep. Fortenberry wrote.

“After these families have opened their hearts and homes to some of the world’s most vulnerable children, this security is the least we can give them. The House of Representatives should affirm this by passing the Help HAITI Act, free of unrelated, controversial measures.”

According to Congressional Quarterly, a Capitol Hill publication, even though Rep. Fortenberry didn’t mention the DREAM Act in his letter, one of his aides said that was the controversial bill his letter referred to.

I thought Democrats were for helping people, not using them as human shields and political cover. Oh wait, this is reality, as opposed to the mainstream media smoke and mirrors. My bad. Here is a list of Dimocrap Senators who might be on the fence:

SEN. JIM WEBB OF VIRGINIA 202-224-4024; 703-573-7090. Staff says “he hasn’t made a public statement.”

SEN. KENT CONRAD OF NORTH DAKOTA 202-224-2043; 701-258-4648. Staff says “he hasn’t released a statement.” Conrad has voted against the DREAM Act in the past.

SEN. BYRON DORGAN OF NORTH DAKOTA 202 224-2551. He voted against the DREAM Act in the past. Staff says he “hasn’t taken a public position.”

SEN. MARK PRYOR OF ARKANSAS 202-224-2353; 501-324-6336. He voted no on the DREAM Act cloture vote in September. Staff says he is “likely” to vote no again, though he hasn’t made an official public statement yet.

SEN. JON TESTER OF MONTANA 202 224-2644. Staff says he has voted against the DREAM Act in the past and “he will probably vote against any bill that has amnesty in it.”

SEN. MAX BAUCUS OF MONTANA 202-224-2651. He has opposed the DREAM Act in the past and is a “likely no” again in this session.

SEN. CLAIRE MCCASKILL OF MISSOURI 202-224-6154. She opposed the DREAM Act in the past and staff says she has made no statement changing her position otherwise.

Melt those phonelines, people! Don't let this stand.

TSA: Even Suspects in Afghanistan Are Not Groped Like Airline Passengers

Something I just noticed from a earlier article I referenced:

In any case, such extreme, invasive searches are forbidden even for soldiers in Afghanistan searching citizens there, unprotected by the presumptions granted Americans in the US Constitution. TSA officials are not above the law, and they should not have full discretion to decide when they can violate American’s constitutional rights. Writes a US Army staff sergeant at The Atlantic:

At no time were we permitted or even encouraged to search children or women. In fact, this would have been considered an extreme violation of acceptable cultural practice and given the way word travels here, been a propaganda victory for the Taliban.

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

TSA: No Psychological Testing? Really?

You do not have to go through any psychological testing to be a TSA agent, at least that is what the Washington Examiner is reporting:

To become a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent fully empowered to aggressively pat down passengers -- even inside passengers' underwear -- applicants need not pass any psychological testing despite having full federal backing.

I spoke to TSA's Human Resources department to find out what is required to become an officer. “Cynthia” (no last name, though TSA requires callers to supply spelling of first and last names before anyone will speak to you) told me that applicants must pass a background check and credit check, and then they interview with the hiring office. “No psychological evaluation?” I pressed: “Absolutely none?” Absolutely none.

The background check currently required of TSA applicants merely clears TSA applicants from the possibility that they might be friendly with terrorists themselves or blackmailable. They might include questions like: "Do you love your country?" and "Do you have a history of violence?" Background checks do NOT include such questions as: "Do you have a history of sexual assault?"

I would think, if part of your job description is invasive body searches, one might ask some psych questions or get a psych profile. But, I guess that is too much to ask. I agree with the author on this point especially:

If TSA officers want to be given authority similar to exercise discretion like police officers can, they should also face the same screening process we use for police. Nearly every police jurisdiction requires officer applicants to undergo psychological screening.

Lawsuits against police officers also take place in the jurisdiction where the cop lives, before a jury of his or her peers. Liability for police exists on both the city, county, and state levels. Not so for suits against individual TSA officers, which contend with the legal morass that is federal indemnity, granting federal TSA officials even more procedural protections.

Cops are charged with doing what they deem necessary to stop alleged criminals from bad behavior and can face penalties if they violate the privacy of innocent citizens without cause. Meanwhile, TSA officials may do whatever they deem necessary to treat passengers however they want, including fining innocent Americans and ejecting them from airports should they refuse to comply with TSA’s determination to treat them like criminals -- a consequence of merely entering an airport.

For heaven's sake, these people are groping us and we don't find out if they get off on it or have some type of deep seated psychological disorder? Come on now.

More TSA Madness

Here are some more stories stumbled upon by the WMD staff and respectfully entered into the record about this madness:
Graphic Description by TSA Sexual Assault Victim

She says the airport official failed to tell her that she was going to be touched in private areas.

"She felt along my waistline, moved behind me, then proceeded to feel both of my buttocks. She reached from behind in the middle of my buttocks towards my vagina area.

"She did not tell me that she was going to touch my buttocks, or reach forward to my vagina area.

"She then moved in front of me and touched the top and underneath portions of both of my breasts...

"She then felt my inner thighs and my vagina area, touching both of my labia.

"She did not tell me that she was going to touch my vagina area or my labia."

Amarillo by Morning, Forced Exposure by Afternoon?

A WOMAN is suing over an incident where airport staff allegedly pulled down her top and joked about her breasts in public view.

The 23-year-old traveller, from Amarillo, US, is suing the US Government for the emotional distressed she says the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents caused.

The distraught woman left the screening area to be consoled but when she re-entered the boarding area employees allegedly started joking about the matter.

"One male TSA employee expressed to the plaintiff that he wished he would have been there when she came through the first time and that 'he would just have to watch the video,'" the suit said.

Sen. McCaskill's Sick Idea of Love
Sen. Claire McCaskill (Pervert, Missouri) said that she would rather be nekked scanned than get "love pats." Tell me, Madame Senator, does what has been described above count as love pats? Would you be willing to have your labia touched by a perfect stranger? Would you want your children's private parts to be exposed in public while TSA employees laugh and joke? What kind of a sick pervert calls this serious matter "love pats" and just says people are out to be "mini-celebrities." But wait, Claire is the same idiot who supported death panels and abortion paid for by federal funds and was a buddy of the former Groper in Chief, Bill Clinton. My bad.

At Least One Sane Person in California Found
A District Attorney, in the San Francisco area no less, has vowed to prosecute overly aggressive TSA gropers.

The San Mateo district attorney's office has a warning for all TSA personnel at SFO -- anyone inappropriately touching a passenger during a security pat down will be prosecuted.


Incoming San Mateo DA Steve Wagstaffe says any complaints of inappropriate touching during an airport security pat down will land on his desk.

"The case would be reviewed and if we could prove the elements of it, that it was inappropriately done with a sexual or lewd intent, that person would be prosecuted," he said.

The charge -- sexual battery.

"If it is skin to skin, if someone were to take their hand and put it underneath somebody's blouse and touch someone inappropriately and go skin to skin, that's a felony, and if it's done simply over the clothing, according to California law, that's a misdemeanor," Wagstaffe said.
