Biden's Big Blunder

Last night’s vice-presidential debate was interesting, to say the least.  For those who chose to continue to watch and endure the laughs, giggles, smirks, smiles, interruptions, and unbelievable rudeness and condescension of Joe Biden, Vice-President of the United States of America, it was a look into the soul of the Democratic Party. 

In 2003 the United States invaded Iraq to rid that country of a despot by the name of Saddam Hussein.  The main reason we needed to take out that dictator was not, as the liberals say of George W. Bush, that we did it for oil (if that was the case, we wouldn’t have rising gas prices in America today).   It was because Saddam Hussein had WMDs (weapons of mass destruction) which he had used on his people before, and we didn't want him to use them again or, God forbid, have them land in the hands of terrorists.   This was the conclusion of the INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY of not only the USA but also Great Britain. 

Now, you might be asking, “why in the world are you bringing this up” in relation to the vice-presidential debate last night?  I am bringing this up PRECISELY because of Vice-President Joe Biden’s response to the question about Libya last night during the debate.  Biden was asked about the attack on our consulate in Libya and what was known about the attack.  Biden refused to admit that the Obama administration suffered a massive intelligence failure in the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
Debate moderator Martha Raddatz explained that the State Department has now “made clear” that there were no protesters outside the U.S. Consulate in Libya. Further, the assault was a premeditated assault by heavily armed men – an act of terrorism.
“Wasn’t this a massive intelligence failure?” Raddatz asked.
“What it was, was a tragedy,” Biden said. “We will find and bring to justice the men who did this.”
He also claimed that they were never told that there were repeated requests for more security at the American Embassy in Benghazi, Libya. 
Obama and Biden don’t want to take responsibility for the intelligence failures in Libya.  These are the same two men, who when they were senators during the term of President George W. Bush, castigated him for the perceived intelligence failures in Iraq and blamed him for not finding the WMDs that Saddam Hussein had stockpiled.  They DID NOT BLAME THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY!  THEY BLAMED PRESIDENT BUSH (seems like they want to blame him for everything doesn’t it).  Well, it’s time to step up and take RESPONSIBILITY for your administration JUST LIKE YOU WANTED PRESIDENT BUSH TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for what you call intelligence failures in Iraq.  Oh, but it’s different when a liberal Democrat gets in the White House, isn’t it.
Biden was so quick to throw the intelligence community under the bus about Libya.  Yet he says, “this is the intelligence community which will warn us beforehand if Iran acquires the capabilities to launch a nuclear warhead.” 
Mr. Vice-President, I’d like to know if you “inhaled” before you went onto the debate stage last night.

What Barack Hussein Obama Will Do If He Gets a Second Term

If you love this country like I do, this article by Steve McCann will scare the pants off of you.  I don't normally post articles from other people but this is an eye-opener.  And yes, it will scare you and should scare you.  This is why we need to do all that we can to prevent Barack Hussein Obama from getting a second term.  If you love your country, and don't want to see it transformed into a utopian socialist country like Barack Hussein Obama wants, PLEASE read this article and forward it to others who will help vote this sad excuse for a president out of office.

Obama's Second Term Transformation Plans

The 2012 election has often been described as the most pivotal since 1860.This statement is not hyperbole. If Barack Obama is re-elected the United States will never be the same, nor will it be able to re-capture its once lofty status as the most dominant nation in the history of mankind.

The overwhelming majority of Americans do not understand that Obama's first term was dedicated to putting in place executive power to enable him and the administration to fulfill the campaign promise of "transforming America " in his second term regardless of which political party controls Congress. That is why his re-election team is virtually ignoring the plight of incumbent or prospective Democratic Party office holders.

The most significant accomplishment of Obama's first term was to make Congress irrelevant. Under the myopic and blindly loyal leadership of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have succeeded in creating an imperial and, in a second term, a potential dictatorial presidency.

During the first two years of the Obama administration when the Democrats overwhelming controlled both Houses of Congress and the media was in an Obama worshipping stupor, a myriad of laws were passed and actions taken which transferred virtually unlimited power to the executive branch.

The birth of multi-thousand page laws was not an aberration. This tactic was adopted so the bureaucracy controlled by Obama appointees would have sole discretion in interpreting vaguely written laws and enforcing thousands of pages of regulations they and not Congress would subsequently write.

For example, in the 2,700 pages of ObamaCare there are more than 2,500 references to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. There are more than 700 instances when he or she is instructed that they "shall" do something and more than 200 times when they "may" take at their sole discretion some form of regulatory action. On 139 occasions, the law mentions that the "Secretary determines." In essence one person, appointed by and reporting to the president, will be in charge of the health care of 310 million Americans once ObamaCare is fully operational in 2014.

The same is true in the 2,319 pages of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act which confers nearly unlimited power on various agencies to control by fiat the nation's financial, banking and investment sectors. The bill also creates new agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, not subject to any oversight by Congress. This overall process was repeated numerous times with other legislation all with the intent of granting unfettered power to the executive branch controlled by Barack Obama and his radical associates.

Additionally, the Obama administration has, through its unilaterally determined rule making and regulatory powers, created laws out of whole cloth. The Environmental Protection Agency on a near daily basis issues new regulations clearly out of their purview in order to modify and change environmental laws previously passed and to impose a radical green agenda never approved by Congress. The same is true of the Energy and Interior Departments among many others.

None of these extra-constitutional actions have been challenged by Congress. The left in America knows this usurpation of power is nearly impossible to reverse unless stopped in its early stages.

It is clearly the mindset of this administration and its appointees that Congress is merely a nuisance and can be ignored after they were able to take full advantage of the useful idiots in the Democrat controlled House and Senate in 2009-2010 and the Democrat Senate in the current Congress.

Additionally, Barack Obama knows after his re-election a Republican controlled House and Senate will not be able to enact any legislation to roll back the power previously granted to the Executive Branch or usurped by them. His veto will not be overridden as there will always be at least 145 Democratic members of the House or 34 in the Senate in agreement with or intimidated by an administration more than willing to use Chicago style political tactics.

The stalemate between the Executive and Legislative Branches will inure to the benefit of Barack Obama and his fellow leftists.

The most significant power Congress has is the control of the purse-strings as all spending must be approved by them. However, once re-elected, Barack Obama, as confirmed by his willingness to do or say anything and his unscrupulous re-election tactics, would not only threaten government shutdowns but would deliberately withhold payments to those dependent on government support as a means of intimidating and forcing a Republican controlled Congress to surrender to his demands, thus neutering their ability to control the administration through spending constraints.

Further, this administration has shown contempt for the courts by ignoring various court orders, e.g. the Gulf of Mexico oil drilling moratorium, as well as stonewalling subpoenas and requests issued by Congress. The Eric Holder Justice Department has become the epitome of corruption as part of the most dishonest and deceitful administration in American history. In a second term the arrogance of Barack Obama and his minions will become more blatant as he will not have to be concerned with re-election.

Who will be there to enforce the rule of law, a Supreme Court ruling or the Constitution? No one. Barack Obama and his fellow-travelers will be unchallenged as they run roughshod over the American people.

Many Republicans and conservatives dissatisfied with the prospect of Mitt Romney as the nominee for president are instead focused on re-taking the House and Senate. That goal, while worthy and necessary, is meaningless unless Barack Obama is defeated . The nation is not dealing with a person of character and integrity but someone of single-minded purpose and overwhelming narcissism. Judging by his actions, words and deeds during his first term, he does not intend to work with Congress, either Republican or Democrat in his second term but rather to force his radical agenda on the American people through the power he has usurped or been granted.

The governmental structure of the United States was set up by the founders in the hope that over the years only those people of high moral character and integrity would assume the reins of power. However, knowing that was not always possible, they dispersed power over three distinct and independent branches as a check on each other.

What they could not imagine is the surrender and abdication of its constitutional duty by the preeminent governmental branch, the Congress, to a chief executive devoid of any character or integrity coupled with a judiciary essentially powerless to enforce the law when the chief executive ignores them.

Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney must come to grips with this moment in time and their historical role in denying Barack Obama and his minions their ultimate goal. All resources must be directed at that end-game and not merely controlling Congress and the various committee chairmanships.

The Liberal Media's Attack on Mitt Romney

The Liberal Media’s Attack on Mitt Romney

There is no such thing as unbiased journalism anymore among the liberal media.  And there hasn’t been for a long, long time.  This bias among the liberal left  has never been more clear than in the last couple of days as evidenced by their incessant attacks on Gov. Mitt Romney.  Gov. Romney criticized the American Embassy in Cairo for their placating statement to the Muslims for attacking the embassy.  Gov. Romney also criticized the President for such a statement of weakness.  And instead of covering the murders of our American citizens and the blatant attacks by these radical Muslim extremists, the media has been fixated for the last 48 hours on Mitt Romney and his statement.  Even the Democratic pundits are blasting the media for not covering the attacks on our American embassies.   

Appearing on Fox News's America Live on Thursday, Daily Beast columnist and Democratic pundit Kirsten Powers ripped the liberal media for expressing more outrage over Mitt Romney's reaction to Tuesday's embassy attacks, than toward the attackers themselves: "I mean, it is just absolutely utterly insane the way that they have elevated this.”  Acknowledging the Democratic perspective, Powers explained: "...let's just stipulate that, for the sake of argument, that Romney shouldn't have done it [criticized Obama] – I don't agree with that – it still would not explain the obsession with Romney's statement over these horrific events that are unfolding in front of us."

Later in the discussion, host Megyn Kelly asked Powers: "You always have to look back at, you know, when detecting media – you know, potential media bias, you look back at what would the media have done if this had happened on George Bush's watch?"

Powers denounced the double standard:

Yeah. It would have been completely radically different. Look, like I said, even if you agree that Mitt Romney did something wrong, okay, look at that, but let's also look at the Obama administration. It was just radio silence....why didn't they know that these attacks were coming? Was Obama getting his intelligence briefings? I mean these are the issues that should be being asked and would be being asked if this had happened on George Bush's watch.

Now there is a statement from an unbiased journalist.  I can listen to someone like that even though they are a Democrat.

To win this election on November 6, 2012 Gov. Romney will not only have to defeat Barack Hussein Obama, he will also have to defeat the liberal media who are in Obama’s coat pocket.
