In the early 1970s with Republican Richard Nixon in the White House, the news media had wall-to-wall coverage of the Watergate Hearings, including live all-day radio broadcasts. With a Dummycrat in the White House they will try to divert our attention to other things.

GOP Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) Sternly Lectures Democrats on the Lessons He Learned in the Army During Impassioned House Floor Speech on Benghazi

“A couple lessons I learned in the Army were you moved to the sound of gunfire and the most important step in the troop leading procedures is to supervise the execution of your orders,” he said. “When Americans were fighting for their lives in Benghazi, Barack Obama did neither. He sent no quick reaction force and didn’t even stay in the situation room to supervise the execution of his orders. We expect more from the lieutenants in the army than our president gave us that night.”

How did this guy change the way Glenn Beck prays?

For weeks, Glenn Beck has wanted to have Pastor Mark Batterson, author of The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears, on his show. As Glenn has discussed on-air, Batterson’s book has really impacted the way he approaches prayer. Glenn and members of TheBlaze staff have implemented Batterson’s “circling” theory into their daily routines in an effort to work towards accomplishing God’s will. Watch the interview HERE.

Educator Reveals She “Cannot Avoid” Supporting Pedophile Teachers Due to Union Bullying

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2014/05/08/cali-teacher-reveals-union-bullying-i-cannot-avoid-supporting-pedophile-teachers-n1835378

Education is everything. So why are we ceding control of it to unions, special interests, and big business?

CONFORM, the second book in Glenn Beck’s “Control” series, dismantles 27 arguments about education that we’ve been hearing for decades: Teachers’ unions put KIDS FIRST . . . Homeschooled kids SUFFER. . . COMMON CORE is ‘RIGOROUS’ and ‘STATE LED’ . . . Critics of Common Core are just CONSPIRACY THEORISTS . . . Elementary school teachers need TENURE. . . SCHOOL CHOICE takes money away from PUBLIC SCHOOLS . . . and CHARTER SCHOOLS perform poorly.

The lies and excuses end here.

Arm yourself with the facts. Activate your friends and neighbors. Change our world.

Stop the educrats. Stop the controllists. #StopCommonCore

BILL CLINTON’S MILITARY CAREER

WHAT A HERO !

 

Bill & Hillary got about $12 million for their to-be written memoirs.

Here’s some help for them since their memories are getting old.  

 

Bill & Hillary, 1970

 

BILL CLINTON’S MILITARY CAREER

 

Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964, accepting

all contractual conditions of registering for the draft. Selective Service Number is 326 46 228.

 

Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.

 

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.

 

Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.

 

Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted into the military.

 

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States

Army Reserves on August 07,  1969, under authority of Col. E. Holmes.

 

Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.

 

Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the University of

Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.

 

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with

Army Reserves is revoked by Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2) (a) –

Registrant who has failed to report…remains liable for induction.

 

Bill Clinton’s birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!   Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.

 

Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a Fugitive from justice.

 

Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977, from President Carter.

 

Bill Clinton becomes the FIRST  PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President of the United States .

 

All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests, public

Laws, and various books that have been published, and have not been

refuted by Clinton .

 

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton promised

That those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

 

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia , which killed five U.S.

Military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be

hunted down and punished.

 

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia , which killed 19

And injured 200 U.S. Military personnel, Clinton promised that those

responsible would be hunted down and punished.

 

After the 1998 bombing of U.S. Embassies in Africa , which killed 224

And injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be

hunted down and punished.

 

After the 2000 bombing of  the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39

U.S. Sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible be hunted down

And punished.

 

Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in

New York and Washington , DC , who are now dead would be alive today.

 

THINK ABOUT IT! It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8

Million for her forthcoming memoir .

 

Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This

from two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall anything

about past events while under oath.

 

Sincerely,

 

Cdr. Hamilton McWhorter USN (ret)

 And this doesn’t even speak about Benghazi – but I forgot, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE ?

“I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.’ To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power not longer susceptible of any definition.” – Thomas Jefferson

“If you ever injected truth into politics you would have no politics.” ― Will Rogers

What does Mitch McConnell really believe?

The Republican Leader used to stand against ObamaCare. He told conservatives that Obama’s health care takeover should be repealed “root and branch.” 

But his opposition seems to be wavering. He refused to stand with real Conservatives like Ted Cruz to defund ObamaCare. He refused to fight to protect you from Obama’s train wreck. He helped the Progressives fund ObamaCare and destroy our health care system.

Now, Mitch McConnell doesn’t want to stop ObamaCare – he wants to “fix it.” He recently told Kentuckians that “we’re going to figure out a way to get this fixed.” 

McConnell doesn’t get it. Conservatives don’t want to “fix” ObamaCare. We want the federal government to get out of the health care business. We want real Conservatives in Congress to stand up against Obama. We want Conservatives who will fight to repeal ObamaCare and save the economy from radical progressive policies.

Mitch McConnell’s positions are like an Easter egg hunt: you never know what you’re going to get. First he’s against ObamaCare. Then he votes to fund it. Now he wants to fix it. Does that mean he’ll help save ObamaCare?

That’s not conservative. And it’s not real leadership.

We need to take action as American citizens before it is too late‏

The following is an essay on the current state of affairs in our country. What are our Republican representatives doing to stop this travesty? Our first defense against these transgressions must be at the polls, and we need to vote for candidates who will not sit idly by why these things are happening.

Notre Dame Professor on Obamacare – Everyone, and I mean everyone, needs to read this. 

She is right on target…hard to deny she is correct even if you are a liberal!

By Laura Hollis, a professor at the University of Notre Dame:

The unveiling of the dictatorial debacle that is Obamacare absolutely flabbergasts me. It is stunning on so many levels, but the most shocking aspect of it for me is watching millions of free Americans stand idly by while this man, his minions in Congress and his cheerleaders in the press systematically dismantle our Constitution, steal our money, and crush our freedoms.

The President, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid (with no small help from Justice John Roberts) take away our health care, and we allow it. They take away our insurance, and we allow it. They take away our doctors, and we allow it. They charge us thousands of dollars more a year, and we allow it.  They make legal products illegal, and we allow it.  They cripple our businesses, and we allow it. They announce by fiat that we must ignore our most deeply held beliefs – and we allow it.

Where is your spine,  America ?

Yes, I know people are complaining.  I read the news on the Internet.  I read blogs. I have a Twitter feed. So what? People in the  Soviet Union complained.  People in  Cuba complain.  People in  China complain (quietly). Complaining isn’t the same thing as doing anything about it.  In fact, much of the complaining that we hear sounds like resignation:  Wow. This sucks.  Oh well, this is the way things are.  Too bad.  Perhaps you need reminding of a few important facts. Here goes:

1. The President is not a king.  Barack Obama does not behave like a President, an elected official, or someone who realizes that he works for us.  He behaves like a king, a dictator – someone who believes that his own pronouncements have the force of law, and who thinks he can dispense with the law’s enforcement when he deigns to do so. And those of us who object?  How dare we?  Racists!  And while he moves steadily “forward” with his plans to “fundamentally transform” the greatest country in human history, he distracts people with cheap, meaningless trivialities, like “free birth control pills”! (In fact, let’s face it: this administration’s odd obsession with sex in general – Birth control!  Abortion!  Sterilization!  Gay guys who play basketball! — is just plain weird.  Since when did the leader of the free world care so much about how people have sex, who they have it with, and what meds they use when they have it? Does he have nothing more important to concern himself with?)
 
2. It isn’t just a failed software program; it is a failed philosophy. People are marveling that Healthcare.gov was such a spectacular failure. Well, if one is only interested in it as a product launch, I’ve explained some of the reasons for that here.  But the larger point is that it isn’t a software failure, or even a product failure; it is a philosophy failure.  I have said this before: Obama is not a centrist; he is a central planner.  And this – all of it: the disastrous computer program, the hundreds of millions of dollars wasted, the lies, the manipulation of public opinion, the theft of the public’s money and property, and freedom (read insurance, and premiums, and doctors) — IS what central planning looks like.  The central premise of central planning is that a handful of wunderkinds with your best interests at heart (yeah, right) know better than you what’s good for you. The failure of such a premise and the misery it causes have been clear from the dawn of humanity. Kings and congressmen, dictators and Dear Leaders, potentates, princes and presidents can all fall prey to the same imperial impulses: “we know what is good for ‘the people.’  And they are always wrong.  There is a reason that the only times communism has really been tried have been after wars, revolutions, or coups d’état. You have to have complete chaos for people to be willing to accept the garbage that centralized planning produces. Take the  Soviet Union , for example. After two wars, famine, and the collapse of the Romanov dynasty, why wouldn’t people wait in line for hours to buy size 10 shoes? Or settle for the gray matter that passed for meat in the grocery stores?  But communism’s watered-down cousin, socialism, isn’t much better. Ask the Venezuelans who cannot get toilet paper. Toilet paper. ¡Viva la Revolución!
Contrary to what so many who believe in a “living Constitution” say, the Founding Fathers absolutely understood this.  That is why the Constitution was set up to limit government power. (Memo to the President: the drafters of the Constitution deliberately didn’t say “what government had to do on your behalf”).  They understood that that was the path to folly, fear, and famine.
 
3. Obama is deceitful.   Just as the collapse of the computer program should not surprise anyone, neither should we be shocked that the President lied about his healthcare plan.  Have any of you been paying attention over the past few years?  Obama has made no secret of his motivations or his methods.  The philosophies which inspire him espouse deceit and other vicious tactics. (Don’t take my word for it: read Saul Alinsky.) Obama infamously told reporter Richard Wolffe,  “You know, I actually believe my own bullshit.”  He has refused to be forthcoming about his past (where are his academic records?).  His own pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, told author Ed Klein, that Obama said to him, “You know what your problem is?  You have to tell the truth.” Did Obama lie when he said dozens of times, “If you like your plan, you can keep it. Period!”?  Of course he did.  That’s what he does.
 
4. The media is responsible. And had the media been doing their jobs, we would have known a lot of this much, much earlier.  The press is charged with the sacred responsibility of protecting the people from the excesses of government. Our press has been complicit, incompetent, or corrupt.  Had they vetted this man in 2008, as they would have a Republican candidate, we would have known far more about him than we do, even now.  Had they pressed for more details about Obamacare, Congress’ feet would have been held to the fire.  Had they done their jobs about Eric Holder, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, NSA spying – or any of the other myriad betrayals of the public trust that this administration has committed, Obama would likely have lost his 2012 reelection campaign. (A fact that even The Washington Post has tacitly acknowledged.  Well done, fellas! Happy now?)  Instead, they turned a blind eye, even when they knew he was lying, abusing power, disregarding the limits of the Constitution.  It was only when he began to spy on them, and when the lies were so blatant that the lowest of low-information voters could figure it out that they realized they had to report on it. (Even in the face of blatant, deliberate and repeated lies, The New York Times has the audacity to tell us that the President “misspoke.”) They have betrayed us, abandoned us, and deceived us.
 
5. Ted Cruz was right.  So was Sarah Palin.  The computer program is a disaster.  The insurance exchanges are a disaster.  What’s left?  The healthcare system itself.  And this, of necessity, will be a disaster, too.  Millions of people have lost their individual insurance plans.  In 2015, millions more will lose their employer-provided coverage (a fact which the Obama administration also knew, and admitted elsewhere).  The exorbitant additional costs that Obamacare has foisted on unsuspecting Americans are all part of a plan of wealth confiscation and redistribution.  That is bad enough. But it will not end there.  When the numbers of people into the system and the corresponding demand for care vastly exceed the cost projections (and they will, make no mistake), then the rationing will start.  Not only choice at that point, but quality and care itself will go down the tubes.  And then will come the decisions made by the Independent Payment Advisory Board about what care will be covered (read “paid for”) and what will not.  That’s just a death panel, put politely. In fact, progressives are already greasing the wheels for acceptance of that miserable reality as well.  They’re spreading the lie that it will be about the ability of the dying to refuse unwanted or unhelpful care.  Don’t fall for that one, either. It will be about the deaths that inevitably result from decisions made by people other than the patients, their families, and their physicians. (Perhaps it’s helpful to think of their assurances this way:  “If you like your end-of-life care, you can keep your end-of-life-care.”)
 
6. We are not SUBJECTS. (or, Nice Try, the Tea Party Isn’t Going Away).  We have tolerated these incursions into our lives and livelihoods too long already. There is no end to the insatiable demand “progressives” have to remake us in their image.  Today it is our insurance, our businesses, our doctors, our health care.  Tomorrow some new crusade will be announced that enables them to take over other aspects of our formerly free lives.  I will say it again: WE ARE NOT SUBJECTS. Not only is the Tea Party right on the fiscal issues, but it appears that they are more relevant than ever.  We fought a war once to prove we did not want to be the subjects of a king, and the  Boston Tea Party was just a taste of the larger conflict to come.  If some people missed that lesson in history class, we can give them a refresher.  The 2014 elections are a good place to start. Call your representative, your senator, your candidate and tell them: “We are not subjects. You work for us. And if the word “REPEAL” isn’t front and center in your campaign, we won’t vote for you. Period.”

“I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.’ To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power not longer susceptible of any definition.” – Thomas Jefferson

“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” – Thomas Jefferson

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
