21 Virgins and a wheelchair

And throw in a couple of Guantanamo Alumni

It is always good news to hear that a few terrorists have achieve “room temperature” with the help of our intelligence community. The Obama Administration should be praised for this accomplishment wherever and whenever it occurs. There is a questionable aspect to the latest strike in Yemen that appears to have hit its target – The Imam that was the spiritual mentor (and literary resource for an article Hassan was writing) of the Ft. Hood terrorist was reportedly killed in this strike.


When the FBI answered press inquiries about the contact that Hassan had with the radical Imam, they said it was consistent with his research of an article he was writing for his job in the Army – move along….

This seemed to me fishy and did not pass any “smell test” that the FBI would be so “unconcerned” to the point of validating a terror suspect when he made multiple direct contacts with an al-Qaida terrorist. Nothing to see here, they said….

According to the NY Times

“A statement by the Yemeni Embassy in Washington said the target of the airstrike was a gathering of “scores” of Qaeda members from Yemen and other countries, including the network’s two top leaders in Yemen, in a remote corner of in the country’s south. The statement said the radical cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, was “presumed to be at the site.”

There, enough said if the NY Times reports it, the Imam was at an “al-Qaida get-together” so he must have direct ties and links to the organization (uhm, did have).

Two-fer Bonus:

Again, according to the NY Times:

“Yemeni officials said they had made targets of the leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Nasser al-Wuhayshi, and his deputy, Said Ali al-Shihri, who were believed to be at the meeting with Mr. Awlaki.

Mr. Shihiri was held for five years in the American detention camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and after his release in 2007 went through a Saudi rehabilitation program. But he joined Al Qaeda after his return to Yemen, a notable failure for the Saudi program, which American officials admire.”

Oh, and were you aware that this rehab program that American Offials admire is partly funded by your tax dollars?

How’s that Saudi “rehabilitation” program going for us. At least the alumni from Guantanamo Bay won’t be coming to a spa in Illinois in 2011 with the rest of their brothers in arms.

So the news has probably hit Hassan pretty hard as he points his wheelchair to the East 5 times each day knowing that he won’t be meeting his mentor in the afterlife any time soon.

Like I said, the Obama Administration should be commended on a job well done in taking out the two embarrassments to his administration (A Guantanamo Alumni that after release went on to become the #1 al-Qaida leader in Yemen and the spiritual mentor of a non-terrorist who shot up an Army base because he was taunted and bullied).

Like the FBI said – move along, nothing here to see…….

Canaries in the Coal mine

Ex-Clinton Commerce Secretary rings warning bell for Democrats


William Daley wrote an opinion piece in the Washington Post lamenting the recent defection of Representative Parker Griffith as the latest “warning sign” that the Democrats had better chart a more moderate course or risk electoral disaster?

I wonder if it was the 8+ million “pink slips” that Griffith’s Congressional Office was flooded with or perhaps his constituent’s angry phone calls.

It is amazing how the Liberals were saying the same about the Republican Party just a year ago. They went even farther than “Republicans had better abandon the sharp veer to the right” language and proclaimed the “Republican Party” was dead.

If, for once the socialists that harkened the “death” of their opposition (like doctors calling the time of death of a patient) were actually true then it is obvious that their (left) behavior over the last year is so horrendous that it actually brought something back from the dead. A “sort of like” Republican Frankenstein with the mad doctor screaming “its alive, its alive”..

Let us set aside the fact that Americans do not want this Healthcare Bill which passed last night in the Senate. It is the fact that this country is predominantly Christian (80%+) and that they chose the holiest night, Christmas eve, to shove this down our throats is symbolic of the Democrats disregard for all constituents and this Abortion laden bill that will force Christians to pay for procedures that their belief system is diametrically opposed to. Terrorist love to employ their acts on dates with meaning just as the Democrats have done, coincidence?

According to Daley he states “All that is required for the Democratic Party to recover its political footing is to acknowledge that the agenda of the party's most liberal supporters has not won the support of a majority of Americans -- and, based on that recognition, to steer a more moderate course on the key issues of the day, from health care to the economy to the environment to Afghanistan.

For liberals to accept that inescapable reality is not to concede permanent defeat. Rather, let them take it as a sign that they must continue the hard work of slowly and steadily persuading their fellow citizens to embrace their perspective. In the meantime, liberals -- and, indeed, all of us -- should have the humility to recognize that there is no monopoly on good ideas, as well as the long-term perspective to know that intraparty warfare will only relegate the Democrats to minority status, which would be disastrous for the very constituents they seek to represent.

In order for the Democrats to pass this bill we, the American public witnessed to overt bribery of certain “centrists and Blue Dogs”.

That fact has not gone un-noticed by certain powerful Democrats as Charles Schumer held a press conference after the vote last night to proclaim that “every state got special treatment in the Obamacare legislation”.

States aren’t buying what Schumer is selling. They are angry that certain legislators received a “free ride” while the majority of States will have to absorb the up tick in Medicaid costs due to this bill. Not only, will the other states have to foot this bill, but will also have to pay for those who got the special treatment (bribe) that they did not.

According to the Bloomberg interview “The Medicaid deal hasn’t been well received in some corners. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina called the agreements “backroom deals that amount to bribes.”

New York Governor David Paterson said today the Senate legislation would cost the state more than $1 billion a year in lost Medicaid reimbursements. “It’s not fair,” he said at a news conference at his Manhattan office.”

GOP to sue:

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said Tuesday that he and top prosecutors in a half-dozen other states plan to challenge the constitutionality of a health care compromise that exempts Nebraska from paying billions in Medicaid expansion costs, forcing other states to shoulder a bigger burden for the low-income insurance program.

Abbott, a Republican, announced the plan just hours after filing to seek re-election to a third four-year term as the state's top legal officer. Abbott's decision prompted his friend and former deputy Ted Cruz to scrap what had been a high-profile bid to succeed him.

The Texas attorney general said he will join with Republican counterparts in up to six other states to challenge what they call the "Nebraska Compromise," the political deal that secured Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson's crucial vote on a massive health care package in exchange for concessions for his state.

The op-ed by Daley insists that the Parker defection is the proverbial “canary” in the coal mine for the Democrats, but I believe the actual canary was Democrat Senator Zell Miller in 2004. The anti-war, pre-9/11 mentality of the Democrats was the impetus that was followed by years of Democrat campaign lies leading up to this disastrous bill passed on Christmas Eve. Whatever shred of credibility any Democrat has had up until today has just been lost forever with the American public. I also believe that there will be multiple states that will pass Constitutional amendments to reject this Federal grab for power and a grassroots upswing that will decimate them once and for all. If the GOP is unwilling to go back to its conservative roots, the very roots of the so-called “astro-turf” tea party espouse, then they too will be listening to canaries of their own.

Is Marshall Law in the US pending?

The US Government is ready, are you?


FBI Infraguard Program - Est 1996 Pres William Jefferson Clinton

”Tasked by the FBI to provide "informational analysis" on conditions which could be construed as potentially harmful to civil order and national security, InfraGard, of the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC), issued an unclassified Protective Intelligence Communication report in March 2009 regarding the "crescendo" of public concern about Obama's presidential eligibility.


Authored by Dr. Lyle J. Rapacki, Protective Intelligence Specialist and Agent, the report summarizes the substance of legal challenges to Obama on the question of his constitutional eligibility and concludes that if it "should be discovered Mr. Obama is ineligible, a constitutional crisis would ensue attempting to determine which of his executive branch orders should be valid." It goes on to warn that "if...Mr. Obama fights revealing his documentation, there is growing concern of civil unrest, or worse, being unleashed in the streets of our nation. The economic crisis coupled with this type of a constitutional crisis could prove to be a flashpoint that would test conventional law enforcement and elements of homeland security."

The stream of law suits, the most recent of which have been tendered by high ranking military officers and state legislators, to compel Obama to prove his eligibility have been unremitting and increasingly vocal. A request for "quo warranto" action, an apparent last-ditch legal remedy, was recently delivered to both the US Attorney for the District of Columbia and to the Attorney General.


Dovetailing with this unsettling assessment, and pretty much out of public view, are the following national security developments which, in their totality, could well signal acute domestic instability in the period ahead.


Upon the recommendation of the Army's Strategic Studies Institute, The Army Times reported that a somewhat euphemistically dubbed "Consequence Management Response Force (CCMRF)," currently the role of the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team, but which, reportedly, might eventually comprise upwards of 80,000 troops, is being trained and readied to deal with what could be widespread civil disorder resulting from an "unforeseen economic collapse" or "loss of a functional political and legal order."

Symptomatic of festering civil unrest are the many "tea parties" springing up around the country, growing fears of economic disintegration and of both crippling terrorist attacks and even of perceived federal overreaching. Add to this the very real threat of a rogue nuclear EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) attack on the homeland which could instantaneously reduce the country to a paralytic pre-industrial condition, plus the unrest on our southern border, and there appears to be ample and justifiable cause for concern and appropriate contingency planning at every level of government.”

So the real question is will local, State and Federal law enforcement personnel turn their firearms against their neighbors and family. The same question is asked about active duty military personnel do the same? Infraguard is a tool that the Government has in place to enforce their domestic homeland Marshall Law plans but how will everyday Americans who believe in the Constitution react to them in a time of perceived crisis?

There are many groups mentioned above (i.e., tea parties, birthers and returning vets) that are viewed as an impetus to civil unrest due to concerns about the motive of these groups.

Infraguad boasts membership of 34,000+ members in all 50 states but there are other groups out there that are educating everyday Americans (especially active duty military, veterans and law enforcement who have taken their “constitutional oaths”) about their solemn commitments to the Constitution of the US to prevent the trampling of individual liberties in a time of civil unrest or extreme Constitutional crisis or economic meltdown. These groups are asking each member to not get caught up in turning their sights on their own countrymen, but on those who are the true “domestic enemies of our Constitution”.



The two groups that come to mind, who boast membership increasing by the day due to these concerns are “Oath Keepers” and Resist.Net.

The exceptional American Political Corruption!

Bribes in the open, backroom deals and arm twisting!


There are many that say when Obama won the White House, so did “Chicago Style” politics. Many instances of paybacks for political favors or quid pro quo paybacks are more transparent than those in power have promised during the elections.

The American Heritage dictionary:

Bribe – “Something, such as money or a favor, offered or given to induce or influence a person to act dishonestly”.


There have been a number of investigations, indictments and convictions that have occurred in Illinois recently that involve much the same “modus operendi.” Tony Rezko, Rod Blagojevich and many others in Chicago (Mayor Daley’s office) that have direct connections to Obama’s name and in fact his name is mentioned in many of the indictments as well as Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emanuel and others in his Administration.

While these convictions and jail sentences are handed out to those involved directly, our Congress is virtually doing the same illegal things.

Listed below are some of the bribes the Democrats have received for their States for their support of a bill that the majority of American Taxpayers DO NOT WANT. To add insult to injury, the bribes to those listed below will also come out of your pocket to make up for the “Medicaid passes” those States are to receive.

The “Louisiana Purchase” as it was dubbed was breathtaking in its covert openness (how is that for an oxymoron?). The legalese written for this bribe to being eligible for this $300 million for “hurricane relief over the past 7 years” assured that only Louisiana could collect. Mary Landrieu received $300 million (Medicaid relief) for her State when she sold her vote for cash, your (taxpayer) cash by the way.

Ben Nelson sold his soul for future exemptions for his States Medicaid expenses.

Harry Reid, the author and coordinator of this criminal enterprise called “Health Care Reform” cut a deal for Nevada to get in on the action.

On September 22nd, the Las Vegas Sun reported “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid secured a deal today that would give Nevada full, 100 percent funding in the Senate health care bill for an initial expansion of Medicaid.”

On September 22nd, Propublica reported that Congressman Mike Ross and his wife sold an Arkansas property to “big pharma” for hundreds of thousand dollars more than it was worth.

On November 20th, Michelle Malkin compiled the “bribe list”. It includes the following:

AARP - $18 million in stimulus money & Medi-gap Royalty/kickback Scheme

California Rep. Sam Farr’s $300 million dollar exception

The Abortion Lobby

Big Labor (Unions)

$10 million to big labor’s mismanaged pensions bailout.

The question being floated out in cyberspace is (with so few getting inducements) “is your Congressman too stupid to get a bribe?”

Glen Reynolds said it best

"Every election is an advance auction of stolen goods." This is just dividing the loot. It should remind people that the more power and money they give to the government, the more power and money will be spent in the purchase of . . . yet more power and money for the government.”

Just like “Operation Board Games” investigation in Chicago, the “Healthcare bribe bill” is similar to the illegalities of the massive fraud perpetrated by those politicians using their influence and power for personal gain.

The real reason Obama delayed on Afghanistan!

He was having another “Honduran” moment!


Obama's First failure was his attempt to circumvent the Honduran Constitution and re-seat the facist dictator Zalaya.  Then Obama's failed Olympic bid for his Chicago thug friends. Next, it was Hopenhagen and the frigid response he received from developing countries and the weather.

Now, we learn he has failed in an attempt to overthrow the Karzai Administration earlier this year. That’s right, you heard me right, he attempted another coup d’tat in yet another country and it received little or no press coverage.

Unlike Bush, Obama has absolutely nothing to do with creating freedom for millions, instead he is about reversing freedoms to back oppression. I give the example of Obama’s “Honduran” moment as the impetus for my argument.

By now, many Americans saw first hand how the Obama Administration attempted to reseat the former President, and Hugo Chavez buddy, Zalaya of Honduras after their Supreme Court ousted him for his breaching of their constitution regarding his attempt to remain in perpetual power. The message the Obama Administration sent was one of contempt for their constitution as was as their internal sovereignty by backing the radical.

American’s have already witnessed this Administrations contempt and disregard for our constitution, but the overt attempt to reseat a radical in another country was a portent for things to come here.

Obama has been criticized by many in America for his “foot dragging” on the issue of providing a surge of more troops in Afghanistan. This troop surge was a basic framework that the outgoing Administration advised as well as Obama’s hand pick General that is responsible for that arena.

While troops were being killed as violence from Taliban and al-Qaida loyalists escalated their attacks, Obama gave many different reasons for the delay in decided “which way he would go”.

At first his Administration blamed the Bush Administration for not having a plan (which was revealed as false by the media on the right) then he blamed the foot dragging on the corruption of Karzai and the voter fraud of Afghanistan’s election as another excuse. I have a different reason and it has nothing to do with troop surges, but more in line with toppling the elected leader (Karzai) and replacing him with Obama allies.

Enter Peter Galbraith!

Peter Galbraith was an outspoken critic of keeping Iraq whole and openly advocated partitioning Iraq into three separate countries. This strategy was endorsed by Joe Biden as well as many Democrat leaders in the Senate.

“From 2003 onwards, Galbraith acted as an adviser to the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq. As an author and commentator, he argued that Iraq has broken up and that the US occupation authorities should not try to build a strong central government over Kurdish objections.”

Galbraith Business interests in Iraqi oil

In October 2009, Dagens Næringsliv (a Norwegian tabloid) published a series of articles alleging that Galbraith was a paid consultant for the Norwegian oil company DNO (which is currently engaged in exploring oil reserves in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq). This charge was investigated by the New York Times which concluded that Galbraith "received rights to an enormous stake in at least one of Kurdistan’s oil fields in the spring of 2004. He stands to earn perhaps a hundred million or more dollars. Feisal al-Istrabadi, also a participant in the Iraqi constitutional negotiations, has said that the revelations "implicates the legitimacy of the entire constitutional process in Iraq. We shouldn't have had an oil company drafting the Iraqi constitution."

Abdul-Hadi al-Hassani, vice chairman of the Oil and Gas Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, said that Mr. Galbraith’s "interference was not justified, illegal and not right, particularly because he is involved in a company where his financial interests have been merged with the political interest."

Mr al-Hassani does not explain how offering advice could possibly be illegal under Iraqi law. Galbraith responded in a letter to the Rutland Herald that "even a superficial analysis would show that [the allegations] could not be true. At the time the Iraqi Constitution was negotiated in 2005, I was a private citizen with no connection whatsoever with the U.S. government. (See Delwareonline which refutes this response of Galbraith).

In short, I was in no position to push through anything. At the request of Kurdistan's leaders, I did offer them advice on how to negotiate best to achieve their goals. But I never participated in any negotiations and was never in the room when they took place."'Galbraith also noted the benefits that the DNO deal brought to Kurdistan: "Until 2005, most Kurds saw Iraq’s oil as a curse and wish the country had none. Iraqi oil financed the armies that oppressed the Kurds and purchased the weapons, including poison gas, that Saddam Hussein used to commit genocide. DNO pioneered the creation of a Kurdistan oil industry that today has more than 30 companies operating in the region. Oil revenues give Kurdistan the means for real self-government, including the ability to defend itself. Today, Kurdistan is experiencing unprecedented prosperity financed in part by Kurdistan’s oil and in stark contrast to recent decades when Iraq’s oil paid for mass murder and the physical destruction of more than 5000 villages.

Here is how Galbraith influenced Joe Biden through another person:

“Les Gelb had eased into his seat on a jet from New York to Washington late in 2005 when US Sen. Joe Biden unexpectedly plopped down next to him. Biden, then gearing up for a presidential run, was just the man Gelb -- a veteran journalist and diplomat -- needed to see. For more than two years, Gelb had been pushing a plan that would split Iraq into three self-governing regions -- Kurd, Shiite and Sunni -- with a limited central government in Baghdad overseeing border defense, oil revenues and matters such as health.

Despite publishing pieces in major newspapers and delivering numerous speeches, Gelb's plan had languished. "I was pitching it all over the place, making no converts among foreign policy people," Gelb said. "Running into Biden was like a dream."

A relative handful of the party's foreign policy mavens -- most prominently, Les Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, and Peter Galbraith, former U.S. ambassador to Croatia -- have a more chastened perspective. Heirs of such Vietnam-era realists as Sen. J. William Fulbright and political scientist Hans Morgenthau, they argue that Iraq is more nearly three countries than one -- a Shiite south inclined toward some form of Islamic rule, though not necessarily a theocratic republic; a democratic Kurdish north; and a Sunni-dominated middle with large non-Sunni minorities. No region will accept the domination of another, and striking a politically acceptable balance between majority rule and minority rights under these circumstances is all but impossible. You can't do nation-building, they conclude, when the nation doesn't want to be built.

Gelb has argued for letting Iraq devolve into three separate states. Galbraith, fearing that an independent Kurdistan would soon be invaded by a Kurdophobic Turkey, calls for establishing one state with a common foreign policy but consisting of three largely autonomous regions in all other matters."

As you can see, Gelb and Galbraith were united in their aims to split Iraq into three and a per chance (more like fat chance of the per chance) meeting on a plane with Biden roused his support. Galbraith is dishonest in his denials that he was a mere citizen with no connection to the US Government. Mr. Galbraith had a very powerful voice that many democrats listened to in their pursuit to have Bush’s Iraq venture fail. This gave him the inside track to make $100 million in personal oil money as a result of his Northern Iraq, DNO consulting and influence in the process of drafting the Iraq Constitution in late 2005 that enabled his windfall (Can you say US war for oil).

DNO’s chief executive, Helge Eide, confirmed that Mr. Galbraith helped negotiate the Tawke deal and advised the company during 2005. But Mr. Eide said that Mr. Galbraith acted solely as a political adviser and that the company never discussed the Constitution negotiations with him. “We certainly never did give any input, language or suggestions on the Constitution,” Mr. Eide said.

Obama and the cast of the coup:

Richard Holbrook, Peter Galbraith, Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai & Ali Ahmad Jalali and Joe Biden:

Deputy UN Chief, Afghanistan Peter Gabraith was recently fired (by his UN boss, Kai Eide) from the highest US Diplomatic position in the UN for Galbraith’s attempt (With the Obama Administrations blessing) to remove Afghan President Karzai from office.

“According to Eide, Galbraith was plotting with the Obama Administration to replace Karzai with Ashraf Ghani, one of the lesser candidates in the vote. Galbraith confirmed discussing the idea within the UN, but insisted the talk never went beyond that."

President Obama was reportedly in favor of replacing Karzai shortly after taking office, but he decided in September that Karzai would remain in power, despite widespread poll fraud.

The plot by the Obama Administration by extra-constitutional means reminds me of his attempt to replace the “Honduran Constitutional removed Honduran President Zalaya”.

According to the NY Times:

“Mr. Eide, who is set to leave his job as head of the United Nations mission in Afghanistan by early next year, said Mr. Galbraith’s departure from Afghanistan in early September came immediately after he rejected what he described as Mr. Galbraith’s proposal to replace Mr. Karzai and install a more Western-friendly figure.

He said he told his deputy the plan was “unconstitutional, it represented interference of the worst sort, and if pursued it would provoke not only a strong international reaction” but also civil insurrection. It was during this conversation, Mr. Eide said, that Mr. Galbraith proposed taking a leave to the United States, and Mr. Eide accepted.”

“Vijay Nambiar, chief of staff to the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, said that he was aware of Mr. Galbraith’s proposal to go to Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and develop support for the plan, and later learned of Mr. Karzai’s anger over the episode. Mr. Nambiar said it played a role in Mr. Galbraith’s firing.”

OK, so here you have Galbraith involved in two separate incidents of controversy.

One in Iraq that enriched him with a $100 million dollars from a private Norwegian Oil company and the other in Afghanistan with his attempt to circumvent elections and the constitution by unseating Karzai to replace him with a socialist (I will get into that later) that was handpicked by the Obama Administration.

The one thing I need to point out is the Norwegian Oil Company’s (DNO) Chief Executive Officer is a man named Helge Eide and the man that fired Galbraith from his UN position is a man named Kai Eide (who is from Norway).

The questions I need to pose are these:

Are Helge Eide and Kai Eide related?

One the one hand Galbraith receives $100 million from an Eide (CEO, DNO) and on the other hand he is fired by another man named Eide (UN Boss of Galbraith).

It is apparent that the Obama Administration, through Richard Holbrook and Peter Galbraith (both friends and allies since Bosnia) attempted to unseat Karzai and put in place a Obama friendly, Keynesian finance man in Ashraf Ghani despite all of the public denials. Every denial about this plot can be replaced with earlier news accounts of efforts that were entirely coordinated and purposefully executed by and for Obama.

Terminally ill terrorist disappears from Hospital!

Lockerbie bomber apparently well enough to “walk about”!


Something is “rotten in Denmark” as the man who was convicted to life in prison for the deaths of 270 souls was released from his prison “on humanitarian grounds, due to his terminal state.

“Following the release, doubts were expressed whether Megrahi was as ill as claimed by MacAskill in his statement to the Scottish Parliament. The guidance on compassionate release of a terminally ill prisoner under Scottish law specifies that death must be likely to occur "soon"; there is no fixed time limit but a life expectancy of three months is suggested as "appropriate". The Labour MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife and a Minister in the previous Labour administration, Dr Richard Simpson, accused the Scottish justice minister of failing to conduct sufficient checks before deciding to release Megrahi. Dr Simpson, a former member of the British Association of Urological Surgeons' prostate cancer working group who specialised in prostate disease research, expressed doubt that Megrahi would die within the next three months and claimed that Megrahi could live for eight months.”

Well surprise, surprise he has survived his terminal cancer past the three month stage as well as the eight month stage. It appears that “freedom” is the best medicine after all.

Not only is he well enough to keep on breathing in his terminal state, he has disappeared from the hospital in which he is being comforted in his impending death.

“Libyan officials could say nothing about the whereabouts of Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, and his Scottish monitors could not contact him by telephone. They will try again to speak to him today but if they fail to reach him, the Scottish government could face a new crisis.”

It appears that perhaps he was depressed that his journey to collect his 72 virgins was taking so long that he decided on finding a few living ones in the meantime.  Then again, maybe he has simply been "misplaced" because after all it is a "State run hospital like the ones Democrats are trying to bring to America"?

Democrats have “astro-turf burn scars”

I bet they wish they were playing on “real turf” -- oops, they are!


John Kerry – Fundraising letter sent out on 12/15/09

““Think GOP obstruction is bad now?” Senator Kerry asks in a fundraising letter sent out Tuesday morning by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “Just imagine what Washington would look like if a bunch of new senators – inspired by Sarah Palin and the tea party crowd – took over.”

Note: First, GOP obstruction? Democrat socialists have supra-majorities and do not have any fear of obstruction what-so-ever. Second, they can imagine what Washington IS going to look like come 2010 and they are fearful though deny any fear openly in the MSM who have their collective backsides covered.

“Either we match the passion and activism of these new forces in the Republican Party or they’ll be choosing who’s sitting in the Senate, steering our country’s course,” Kerry writes. “If we don’t match them dollar-for-dollar, we will lose Senate seats in 2010."

Note: First, the passion and activism is not coming from the Republican Party, it’s coming from the “grassroots tea party movement” who have overtaken both Democrats and Republicans as the “dominant ideology in the US”. Second, Kerry seems to think that all they need is more money (I’m glad he is so ignorant of the seriousness of the Democrats situation in 2010).

“If you think this movement is more circus sideshow than actual threat, you’d be mistaken.”

Note: Finally the truth come out of his and the Democrats mouth.

Republicans such as Mark Kirk, who is running for Mr. Obama's former Senate seat in Illinois, are “contorting themselves to appeal to the new Sarah Palin Republicans,”

Note: Once again Kerry is misguided! Sarah Palin may have run on the 2008 Republican Presidential ticket but has since embraced the “tea party” crowd as evidenced by her endorsement of Doug Hoffman in the NY23rd race.

He also mentions GOP Senate candidate Rob Simmons in Connecticut, who “has been running around the state with a tea bag hanging from his rearview mirror.”

Such tactics, Kerry warns, “might seem silly. But they’re working.”

Note: I thought that the MSM, Democrats and Obama supporters all dismissed the “tea party” crowds as “right wing extremists, nazi’s, thugs and paid for by big insurance”.

History of MSM coverage of this non-grassroot movement:

April 15th, 2009 on ABC’s show “Good Morning America”, Dan Harris said:

"The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties and will hold his own event today"

Quotes from Business and Media Institute article:

“In CNN’s case, the network also became the story when one of its reporters showed contempt for people at the Chicago Tea Party, calling the protests “anti-government” and “anti-CNN.” One night earlier, Anderson Cooper repeated the offensive sexual term “teabagging,” which had been the favorite anti-tea party slur of “liberal” MSNBC since April 9.

National broadcast or print media used the term “AstroTurf” at least 12 times since April 10 to attack the idea that the protests were a grassroots movement of conservatives. Left-wing bloggers at BuzzFlash used that term to label the tea party movement as early as March 24.”

“Of course on April 15, some in the media were still doing their best to downplay the thousands of protesters rallying across the country. The New York Times buried its tea party follow up on April 16 at the bottom of page A14. But a protest of Afghan women in Kabul secured the below-the-fold front page spot.

NBC’s Chuck Todd wrote off the protests for “Today” viewers April 15 saying, “There’s been some grassroots conservatives who have organized so called ‘tea parties’” around the country. “But I tell you, the idea hasn’t really caught on.”

Perhaps Todd should have been attending a tea party himself, like the one in Atlanta that was estimated to have 15,000 people. According to the San Francisco Chronicle a Sacramento rally drew about 5,000, and Associated Press reported that 1,000-2,000 attended a D.C. rally. According to CNN.com “tens of thousands of people spent part of April 15” at tea party demonstrations.”

“Both the Times and MSNBC covered the tea parties with mockery, skepticism and in the case of the cable network – dirty sex jokes."

Between Santelli’s outburst Feb. 19 and April 14, the Times mentioned tea parties six times (several mentions were in columns) and disparaged or undermined the protests in five of those instances.

The Times went after Santelli on March 3 claiming he was “on the defensive.” That article by Brian Stetler described the CNBC’s reporter’s commentary saying it “appeared spontaneous to viewers.”



At least Stetler acknowledged that since the rant “dozens of ‘tea party’ protests have taken place in cities across the country, and some conservative groups are planning a Tax Day Tea Party for April 15.” That was more information than the networks provided.

But it was Times’ columnists Paul Krugman, Frank Rich and Lawrence Downes who provided the main attacks. Downes mocked a Northport, N.Y. tea party on April 7 as “a day for brandishing signs, shouting imprecations, and donning silly clothing.” Rich claimed the Santelli “bonfire fizzled” and Krugman called them “AstroTurf (fake grass roots) events.”



Krugman tied the tea party events directly to the GOP in his April 13 column “Tea Parties Forever.” The tea parties, according to Krugman, “have been the subject of considerable mockery, and rightly so.”



Questioning the motivation and sincerity, Krugman wrote that “it turns out that the tea parties don’t represent a spontaneous outpouring of public sentiment. They’re AstroTurf (fake grass roots) events, manufactured by the usual suspects.”



MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and David Shuster stooped even lower than the Times by repeatedly calling tea party protesters the offensive term “teabaggers.” One MSNBC guest cited the Urbandictionary.com definition for viewers unfamiliar with the term.



On April 13, Shuster discussed the tax day protests in a soliloquy that contained about a dozen separate oral sex puns. “But in our fourth story tonight: It’s going to be teabagging day for the right-wing and they’re going nuts for it. Thousands of them whipped out the festivities early this past weekend, and while the parties are officially toothless, the teabaggers are full-throated about their goals,” Shuster said in part.



But even Shuster’s filthy monologue was tame compared to Maddow’s April 9 exchange with Air America radio contributor (and former Wonkette) Ana Marie Cox. The duo used the word “teabag” at least 51 times in a in a 13-minute long segment of bad “teabag” puns.



Both Shuster and Cox were lost in juvenile criticism and ignored the reason there is discontent from the conservative base.”





So, now Kerry and the Democrat Senatorial Campaign are sending out fundraising letters that acknowledge the dangers of the movement against them. The only thing is, they think that it is coming from the Republicans which it is not. It is coming from conservative individuals who are not aligned with big business lobby groups or insurance companies. Both Republican and Democrats should be worried, very, very worried in the next 10 months because they are all dead “politically”, they just don’t realize it.

Rick Santelli started the phenomina on Febuary 19th, 2009 and in 10 months time has eclipsed the "two party" monopoly that the Democrats and Republicans have held for over 200+ years.  What the left and their allies have ignored (in hopes it would just go away) has blossomed into a political class of Americans that do not know the word "political party" and are following their conservative principles that dominate the landscape.  They are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters of all colors, shapes and sizes.  They are Conservative Americans first and foremost who believe the Constitution to be a sacred document not a living breathing on to change or ignore at will.  The sleeping giant has truly awakened and is about to crush anyone or anything in their way to recapturing the greatness of this country that results in freedom from tyranny.
