Perhaps DNC Chairman (yes I said man because she’s no lady), Debbie Wasserman Schultz should have concluded here interview shown below when she spoke of Congresswoman Giffords. 

Perhaps she might follow Giffords lead and resign her seat as on her best day she is nothing but a  tired, partisan, hack with the same old sound bites. “The Republican’s are going to take Social Security away, privatize Medicare benefits?   And you whine about an RNC add as being “unfair, there you go again with using that word, “unfair,” when you orchestrated this complete lie?

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on Fox and Friends to tackle some attacks from the Right, including a new RNC ad that uses clips of her voicing support for Hillary Clinton back in 2008. The Florida congresswoman shot back by defending Barack Obama’s record during his presidency and reiterating her support for him.

Wasserman Schultz called Hillary Clinton an “amazing Secretary of State under President Barack Obama” and said she was raised to believe that “a little girl in America could grow up and be anything she wanted to be, even president of the United States.”

When asked about comments made by RNC chairman Reince Priebus in which he compared President Obama to Captain Schettino, the captain of the wrecked Costa Concordia, she said, “The captain of the Costa Concordia has been charged with manslaughter, and for the RNC chairman to compare the President of the United States to someone who has been charged with manslaughter shows a dramatic level of insensitivity to the families of those victims. Unbelievable comparison.”

Only those with in a Obama led administration that has no coherent foreign policy would believe that any agreements made with the Taliban would result in any different outcome than in our departure from Iraq. 

Thanks again for losing another war Obama. Significant gains toward a democracy in the area were made by  sacrificing gains on behalf of the Afgan people, blood spilled, limbs lost and those who gave their lives of  US and coalition troops who follow a washed up politician rather than a Commander-in-Chief.

Once again Obama pandered for votes putting his election ahead of a foreign policy that would have led to a different outcome.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

The Taliban’s leadership council has decided against holding peace talks with Hamid Karzai’s regime under any circumstances, unnamed Taliban sources said Jan. 30, Afghan Islamic Press reported.

The Taliban will only hold prisoner exchange talks and will not accept a ceasefire or the current Afghan constitution, the sources said.

 Taliban leadership remains united on the issue, but the Taliban would split into two groups if its leaders held peace talks with the Karzai regime, a Taliban military commander said. Current peace talks with the United States have failed to establish a Taliban office or allow Taliban representatives who have travelled to Qatar to move about freely, a source said.

Soros: Not much difference between Romney and Obama

Sounds like he is calling Romney Obama light.  All of Romney’s money couldn’t have been spent to block this endorsement.

Any doubt where Boy George’s hand would be in a Romney Presidency?

The biggest revelation here was Soros the ultimate man of principle his hedge funds buddies have positioned their funds for a Obama lost.  Soros’ assertion that a Santorum win would mean a Gingrich or Santorum vice presidency is as absurd as many of the comments he make in this interview.

George Soros would suggest that there isn’t a lot of difference between Obama and Romney and that if Romney were the nominee, there wouldn’t be a lot of enthusiasm on either side of the aisle.

However if Newt or Santorum wins, Soros believes just the opposite would be true:

As the posting following this one will show, Eric Holder knew the night that Agent Terry was killed by Holder’s ill advised plan. 

We must never forget that the entire fiasco was designed to institute gun control. Of course with this administration doing any thing constitutionally would never enter their minds.

Committee Chairman Darell Issa has at carefully asked the proper questions that gave Holder to hang himself.

Soon to make the climb, former Attorney General Eric Holder

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

Key Goals of Investigation

1. Expose the full scope of Fast and Furious
2. Deliver the Fast and Furious facts to the American people
3. Eliminate the program’s dangerous investigative techniques
4. Discover who is responsible for starting Fast and Furious
5. Discover who is responsible for implementing Fast and Furious
6. Discover which high-level government officials knew about Fast and Furious
7. Discover which high-level government officials approved Fast and Furious
8. Expose high-level government officials who failed to stop Fast and Furious
9. Hold accountable those responsible for Fast and Furious
10. Protect taxpayers’ rights to Congressional oversight of the Executive Branch

There is no question that this newest revelation must land Holder in federal prison.  The only question remaining seems to be if Barack Hussein Obama will be his cell mate. 

Perhaps Holder has taken obstruction, perjury and lawlessness to a new level and our Constitution has been desecrated  because the cowards on both sides of the aisle, more interested in protecting their own grip on power and perks will once again sit on their hands and do nothing. 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I prove this message.

The Daily Caller

WASHINGTON, DC – NOVEMBER 08: U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testifies during a Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing about the controversial the “Operation Fast and Furious” gun running program on Capitol Hill, on November 8, 2011 in Washington, DC. “Operation Fast and Furious” was set up to be a sting set up by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that allowed weapons to be purchased from Arizona gun shops by Mexican drug cartels to trace cross boarder gun trafficking.

Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice dumped documents related to Operation Fast and Furious on congressional officials late Friday night. Central to this document dump is a series of emails showing Holder was informed of slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s murder on the day it happened – December 15, 2010.

An email from one official, whose name has been redacted from the document, to now-former Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke reads: “On December 14, 2010, a BORTAC agent working in the Nogales, AZ AOR was shot. The agent was conducting Border Patrol operations 18 miles north of the international boundary when he encountered [redacted word] unidentified subjects. Shots were exchanged resulting in the agent being shot. At this time, the agent is being transported to an area where he can be air lifted to an emergency medical center.”

That email was sent at 2:31 a.m. on the day Terry was shot. One hour later, a follow-up email read: “Our agent has passed away.”

Burke forwarded those two emails to Holder’s then-deputy chief of staff Monty Wilkinson later that morning, adding that the incident was “not good” because it happened “18 miles w/in” the border.

Wilkinson responded to Burke shortly thereafter and said the incident was “tragic.” “I’ve alerted the AG [Holder], the Acting DAG, Lisa, etc.”

Then, later that day, Burke followed up with Wilkinson after Burke discovered from officials whose names are redacted that the guns used to kill Terry were from Fast and Furious. “The guns found in the desert near the murder BP officer connect back to the investigation we were going to talk about – they were AK-47s purchased at a Phoenix gun store,” Burke wrote to Wilkinson.

“I’ll call tomorrow,” Wilkinson responded.

Commentary by Jim Campbell

When you hear the words fair or fairness one thought comes to mind; ‘caveat emptor’ as in buyer beware.  Nothing to  fear as you have been tipped off that you are reading or talking to a misinformed individual or group that love their own politically correct language and I’ve just given you the code.

Indeed the concept of “fairness” is an oxymoron, but more important it’s the socialist/progressives that believe they have been somehow endowed  with some right to define the term. 

Lost upon them as are most things, is the truism  that to redistribute wealth from one person to another by extortion deprives those extorted from their freedom and liberty both inalienable rights granted to us by our creator and written into the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights by our Founding Fathers.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

Economic fairness is impossible: an oxymoron. Since economic activities are inherently varied and often competitive and since one size doesn’t fit all and not everyone can win in a competition, no such thing as fairness is possible unless it simply means no one may be prevented from taking part. Certainly, however, the outcome will most likely be very different for different participants.

How to sink an entire nation?  It’s the Obama Way!

The sort of fairness and equality President Obama and his supporters are after may be achieved around a family or fraternity dinner table or in a last will and testament where goods are being distributed among family members who each expect the fulfillment of an implied promise from elders to receive a “fair share” of the wealth left to them. “Fair” here makes sense since the idea is that no one is going to get much less or more than another. But no such expectation makes any sense throughout a country! The government owns nothing and can thus leave nothing to the citizenry without engaging in massive redistribution of wealth it doesn’t have any authority to distribute or redistribute.

When fairness is demanded, it implies that the government does have the authority to assign winners and losers in the economic sphere, as if we still lived in a monarchy awaiting the decision of the king as to who will be the beneficiary of his largess. All the subjects can hope they will receive a fair share of the wealth of the country.

But in a free country, with the principle of private property rights as the law of the land, the king or government has no business engaging in wealth distribution so the issue of fairness is entirely moot. It’s a dream and where attempted, it leads to a police state. All that Mr. Obama needs to do to appreciate this is to read George Orwell’s Animal Farm, a wonderful parable about what happens when equality is demanded and government tries to produce it. He might also check out the late Robert Nozick’s famous Wilt Chamberlain example, from this book Anarchy, State, and Utopia(1973) where he shows that when goodies are fairly distributed among people they will turn right around and rearrange it all so the “fair” distribution is completely upset.

Or if he wants real life cases from which to take lessons, Obama & Co. might remember the Soviet Union and investigate how things are panning out in that heavenly egalitarian country, North Korea. They could perhaps consider that in Cuba the rulers are finally realizing the futility of the socialist-egalitarian ideal and are making changes to turn the place into more and more of a free-market system.

Still, there will always be those who want to level the economy. The main reason is the misguided conviction that we are, after all, in the same boat, just as are the children in a family. But the government isn’t like our parents who have made a promise to care for all their children. We aren’t the children of Mr. Obama and his administration! To try to serve us all with all the benefits that parents owe to their offspring would be futile and invites totalitarianism.

Parents, after all, own their resources and owe some of it to their children; this is not the case with governments and the citizenry. They don’t own anything at all without confiscating it. At most they may do this up to what is needed for administering the laws of the land − providing the citizenry with national defense and a sound legal system and its maintenance. Even some of this can be achieved without much government management. After all, who is the government but other citizens who have been hired to do a rather limited job in the country? It is up to the citizenry to secure for themselves economic growth, solvency, innovation, investment, etc. To attempt anything more would involve the government in tasks that free citizens aren’t entitled to.

Sadly, Obama & Co. see the country as it if were some club or team where everyone is part of it and needs the same treatment as everyone else. But a country is not a club or a team − those are the results of free men and women coming together voluntarily for a great variety of purposes. The government of such free men and women must not get involved with what the clubs are embarking upon, be it business, athletics, education, entertainment or whatever else peaceful such folks will embark upon. Like the proverbial cop on the beat, the government isn’t there to pick the goals and tasks of those whom they serve in a limited capacity of securing their rights. It’s there to keep the peace. That is all!

Big Government

Commentary by Jim Campbell

He did what?  Romney backed a Marxist and he should become the next President of the United States?  Wake up America, we have had our turn with “The Manchurian Candidate,” Enough is enough!.

As I continue to dig through distortions about the record of Willard “Mitt” Romney, this is an individual that never ceases to amaze.

Perhaps he has a long form birth certificate from Hawaii he can show us?

That’s my story and I’m sicking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

Town Hall

Well now there you are!

Get ready for the all new GOP, under the lead of Mitt Romney.

It’s a GOP where the Tea Party won’t be welcome, where the federal government will continue to bailout out banks and unions and everyone who’s anyone will continue to make money- except of course you and me.

We’ll just continue to get stuck with the 100 year mortgage payment, as the GOP continues to be the “tax collector for the welfare state,” in the WSJ’s apt phrase.

That’s the takeaway from Florida where Florida Representative Will Weatherford, a Romney proxy, helped redistrict Tea Party favorite Congressman and retired Col. Allen West into a much more liberal district than he previously represented.

I guess Tea Party ideas of limited government and fiscal responsibility aren’t wanted in the GOP under Mitt.

Writes the Florida political blog the Shark Tank:

West’s congressional district inexplicably sheds the most out support as compared to all other incumbent Republican and Democrat Congressman. A few weeks back we quoted an unnamed legislator saying that, “Allen West was screwed”, a statement which was originally made about made five months before the purposed maps were made public, leading insiders to believe that the fix was in against Allen West. But in light of Weatherford’s comment, it is increasingly clear that this is a fait accompli.

Republicans control both houses of the Florida state legislature plus the governor’s office and could have written the new congressional districts however they wanted. But they decided to throw a bone to liberals in the state by redistricting Allen West out of a job.

Why should that surprise anyone?

Throwing a bone to liberals is the thing that Romney, McCain, Dole, Bush and company do best. They recoil under the assault of the left-wing media in this country, seeking refuge in the “bipartisan” label, reaching across the aisle to “get things done” so that they can hit the cocktail circuit and make jokes about guys like Col. West…oh, and you too.

This is the same GOP gang that gave us Charlie Crist, Romneycare, real estate bailouts, automaker bailouts, abortion bailouts, assault weapon bans.

Yeah, yeah, Obama is the Devil, but Mitt and company have been willing accomplices.

And because of that complicity, conservatives will under-vote for president in 2012 rather than support another Bush-Dole-Bush clone in the White House. Heck, there are lots of positive things to say about the Bushes and the Doles, but little good to say about Romney.

He’s Bush-Dole without character.

But give him this: The guy really, really wants to be president. Toward that end, he’ll say anything you want to hear just as soon as he knows what you want to hear. So don’t believe anything that comes out of Romney’s mouth. When he says “read  my lips,” you should plug your ears- and just imagine Mitt saying whatever you want to hear.

It won’t matter anyway.

As Romney advisor, former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman- you know, the guy who lost to Al Freakin’ Franken?- admitted recently, Romney is not going to repeal Obamacare no matter what he says on the campaign trail.

Observes the Wall Street Journal:

It was a remarkable admission, especially given the aspiring Republican President whose ear Mr. Coleman happens to have. Then again, it may also be evidence of his kind of crack political thinking that couldn’t outwit Al Franken of all people in the 2008 race and again in the 2009 recount and thus provided the 60th Senate vote for ObamaCare.

The larger point is that the path of least political resistance for the GOP would be to revert to its historic minority role as tax collectors for the welfare state, and this temptation is especially strong for health care. No one doubts that repealing and replacing ObamaCare will be a hard slog if the party does take the White House and Senate in 2012, namely because the American political system is designed to make change hard (even if those controls failed in 2010 amid Democratic abuses). Mr. Coleman’s advice is, essentially, why bother trying.

But that hasn’t stopped Romney from bravely telling us that Obamacare’s individual mandate is unconstitutional, while Romenycare’s individual mandate is not.

The Obamacare repeal will be Mitt’s 0-97 vote in the Senate, just the way Obama’s budget was an oh-fer in 2011.

Oh-well-they-tried.

And here it is: Romney is lying to you one way or another.

He’ll keep one big, fat Obamacare or he’ll try to foist on you 57 varieties of Romneycare that add up to the same thing.

But in either case, like Allen West, the rest of us will pay the price for Romney’s intellectual inconsistencies in pursuit of the great, white house.

Because if Romney wins the nomination, expect neither hope nor change for the GOP.

Expect four more for Obama or in the best case scenario, Obama lite.

The email function at the top of the page is working. So, let the Hate Mail begin!

There has never been a time when an individual could do more for his country than would Allen West if he chose to run for president. He made a commitment to his constituents in Florida to serve his entire term.  Bummer!

Please see comment at the bottom* He isn’t telling anybody to go to hell he told them to take their message there among other places.

Allen West is a Republican U.S. Representative who represents Florida’s 22nd congressional district, serving since January 2011. He is the first African-American Republican Congressman from Florida since Josiah T. Walls left office in 1876 near the end of Reconstruction.

 West served in the United States Army in Iraq and was a civilian adviser in Afghanistan. With 20 plus years of active duty service in the United States Army, he achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel.

*Once again, is this clear enough?  “Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America,” Rep. Allen West (R-FL) said at the Palm Beach County Republican Party Lincoln Day dinner. West represents the district in the U.S. Congress.
