 WE FIGHT BACK... NOW... CHANGE THE WHOLE SYSTEM TO OUR WAY !!

100 YEARS IN THE MAKING!!

Did You know that the Muslim Brotherhood & the Nazi party have a long forgotten Connection. Obama knows this. The History of anti Jew HATRED goes back a long ways!

The Muslim groups which today threaten the West with terrorism, subversion and insurgency are not only “fascist” in the broad sociological sense, but can trace their literal historical origins to Nazism and its genocidal ambitions. 

The ideology of the Islamists whose ranks today include not only al-Qaeda but also Hamas and Hezbollah, originated with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded in 1928 by Sheikh Hassan al-Banna. The Muslim Brotherhood finds not just its roots, but much of its symbolism, terminology, and political priorities deep within the heart of Nazi fascism.

For al-Banna, as for many other Muslims worldwide, the end of the caliphate, although brought about by secular Muslim Turks, was a sacrilege against Islam for which they blamed the non-Muslim West. It was to strike back against these evils that al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928.

Al-Banna’s antipathy towards Western modernity soon moved him to shape the Brotherhood into an organization seeking to check the secularist tendencies in Muslim society and return to traditional Islamic values. Al-Banna recruited followers from a vast cross-section of Egyptian society by addressing issues such as colonialism, public health, educational policy, natural resources management, social inequalities, Arab nationalism, and the weakness of the Islamic world. Among the perspectives he drew on to address these issues were the anti-capitalist doctrines of European Marxism and especially fascism.

As the Muslim Brotherhood expanded during the 1930s and extended its activities well beyond its original religious revivalism, al-Banna began dreaming a greater Muslim dream: the restoration of the Caliphate. He would describe, in inflammatory speeches, the horrors of hell expected for heretics, and consequently, the need for Muslims to return to their purest religious roots, and resume the great and final holy war, or jihad, against the non-Muslim world.

The first big step in the international jihad al-Banna envisioned came in the form of trans-national terrorism during the Great Arab Revolt of 1936-39, when one of the most famous of the Muslim Brotherhood’s leaders, the Hajj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti (Supreme Muslim religious leader) of Jerusalem, incited his followers to a three-year war against the Jews in Palestine and against the British who administered the Palestine Mandate. In 1936 the Brotherhood had about 800 members, but by 1938, just two years into the Revolt, its membership had grown to almost 200,000, with fifty branches in Egypt alone. By the end of the 1930s, there were more than a half million active members registered, in more than 2,000 branches across the Arab world.

To achieve that broader dream of a global jihad, the Brotherhood developed a network of underground cells, stole weapons, trained fighters, formed secret assassination squads, founded sleeper cells of subversive supporters in the ranks of the army and police, and waited for the order to go public with terrorism, assassinations, and suicide missions. It was during this time that the Muslim Brotherhood found a soul mate in Nazi Germany.

The Reich offered great power connections to the movement, but the relationship brokered by the Brotherhood was more than a marriage of convenience. Long before the war, al-Banna had developed an Islamic religious ideology which previewed Hitler’s Nazism. Both movements sought world conquest and domination. Both were triumphalist and supremacist (in Nazism the Aryan must rule, while in al-Banna’s Islam, the Muslim religion must hold dominion). Both advocated subordination of the individual to a central power. Both were explicitly anti-nationalist in the sense that they believed in the liquidation of the nation-state in favor of a trans-national unifying community. And both rabidly hated the Jews and sought their destruction.

As the Brotherhood’s political and military alliance with Nazi Germany developed, these parallels facilitated a full-blown alliance, with all the pomp and panoply of formal state visits, de facto ambassadors, and overt as well as sub rosa joint ventures. Al-Banna’s followers easily transplanted into the Arab world a newly Nazified form of traditional Muslim Jew-hatred, with Arab translations of Mein Kampf (translated into Arabic as My Jihad) and other Nazi anti-Semitic works, including Der Sturmer hate-cartoons, adapted to portray the Jew as the demonic enemy of Allah.

When the Second World War broke out, Al-Banna worked to firm up a formal alliance with Hitler and Mussolini. But the best known Nazi sympathizer in the Muslim Brotherhood was the Hajj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and one-time President of the Supreme Muslim Council of Palestine. The Grand Mufti was a bridge figure in terms of transplanting the Nazi genocide in Europe into the post-war Middle East and creating a fascist heritage for the Palestinian national movement.

Al-Husseini used his office as a powerful bully pulpit from which to preach anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist, and (turning on his patrons) anti-British vitriol. He was directly involved in the organization of the 1929 riots which destroyed the 3,000-year-old Jewish community of Hebron. And he was quick to see that he had a natural ally in Hitler. As early as spring 1933, he assured the German consul in Jerusalem that "the Muslims inside and outside Palestine welcome the new regime of Germany and hope for the extension of the fascist, anti-democratic governmental system to other countries."

The youth organization established by the Mufti used Nazi emblems, names and uniforms. Germany reciprocated by setting up scholarships for Arab students, hiring Arab apprentices at German firms, and inviting Arab party leaders to the Nuremberg party rallies and Arab military leaders to Wehrmacht maneuvers. Most significantly, the German Propaganda Ministry developed strong links with the Grand Mufti and with Arabic newspapers, creating a propaganda legacy that would outlast Husseini, Hitler, and all the other figures of World War II.

In September 1937, Adolf Eichmann and another SS officer carried out an exploratory mission in the Middle East lasting several weeks, and including a friendly productive visit with the Grand Mufti. It was after that visit, in fact, that the Mufti went on the Nazi payroll as a Nazi agent and propagandist. During the Great Arab Revolt of 1936-39, which al-Husseini helped organize and which Germany funded, the swastika was used as a mark of identity on Arabic leaflets and graffiti. Arab children welcomed each other with the Hitler salute, and a sea of German flags and pictures of Hitler were displayed at celebrations.

After meeting with Hitler on November 21, 1941, Husseini praised the Germans because they “know how to get rid of the Jews, and that brings us close to the Germans and sets us in their camp.” On March 1, 1944, the Mufti called out in a broadcast from Zeesen: “Arabs! Rise as one and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. Kill them with your teeth if need be. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor.” His own memoirs, and the testimony of German defendants at the Nuremberg trials later on, showed that he planned a death camp modeled on Auschwitz to be constructed near Nablus for the genocide of Palestine’s Jews.

It was the Mufti who urged Hitler, Himmler, and General Ribbentrop to concentrate Germany’s considerable industrial and military resources on the extermination of European Jewry. The foremost Muslim spiritual leader of his time, he helped in this effort by lobbying to prevent Jews from leaving Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, even though those governments were initially willing to let them go. As Eichmann himself recounted: “We have promised him [the Mufti] that no European Jew would enter Palestine any more.”

GOTCHA !! CAUGHT ON TAPE.....THE BIASED LEFT WING MEDIA' does a COORDINATED ATTACK ON ROMNEY

MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER EXPOSES THE BIASED LEFT WING MEDIA'S COORDINATED ATTACK ON ROMNEY! ITS TIME TO START FIGHTING BACK INSTEAD OF WHINING....

BOZELL RIPS COVER UP OF OBAMA'S JIMMY CARTER MOMENT

ALEXANDRIA, VA - Amidst ongoing riots in Cairo and Yemen, and a deadly attack in Libya, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney leveled a devastating critique of the Obama Administration for initially siding with the protesters in Cairo. Realizing how damaging the Obama Administration's mistake was, the liberal media turned on Romney, demanding he declare that his campaign had reacted too swiftly and rudely in the wake of this terrible crisis.

- NBC's Chuck Todd kicked things off at the top of MSNBC's Daily Rundown stating that Romney's, "statement looks crass and tone deaf in the light of this day."

- CNN's and Newsweek's Howard Kurtz carried the ball claiming Romney had "given the appearance of exploiting an international tragedy” in an article for The Daily Beast

- Kurtz's Newsweek compatriot Christopher Dickey lamented, "Obama's impossible task of dealing with the mob, those who incited them, and those who exploited that incitement for their own end."

- Caught on a hot mic, CBS reporter Jan Crawford and NPR's Ari Shapiro were heard coordinating with the press corps to pin Romney with the demand that he declare he regretted his statement.

- At that same press conference, Romney was asked by journalists seven different times about the statement. Not one reporter asked a substantive policy-based question.

- In a snarky piece for the LA Times, media reporter James Rainey suggested "a joint rally featuring Christian Pastor Terry Jones and his proxy, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney."

"Barack Obama has morphed into Jimmy Carter before our eyes, but the liberal media have refused to report on the Obama Administration's failed foreign policy of apologies and appeasement. Terrified to hurt Obama's chances of re-election, they are shamelessly seizing on this horrific attack on Americans abroad to push their go-to narrative that Mitt Romney is tone deaf.

"Romney rightly criticized the Obama Administration for its spineless apology to thugs whose idea of 'diplomacy' is intimidation, violence and murder. As the façade of the 'Arab Spring' continues to fracture and crumble away, the media have shifted to a strategy of distraction and omission.

"These are the same media that hailed Obama's Libya policy as 'deft' and proclaimed that his 'victories' in the Middle East would 'burnish his credentials as a world leader.' NBC's David Gregory said Obama would 'use experience as a club against Republicans.' Instead of letting Obama club the Republicans, the media administered a beating on Romney.

"There were two political stories to report yesterday, and the liberal media deliberately chose to amplify the insignificant one because it damaged Romney and helped Obama's chances to win re-election."

Did you Know... that while we are distracted....Obama continues to Desecrate Official WH Presidential Biographies....by adding his name into historic activities! that have nothing the hell to do with him?? THIS IS HOW HE IS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING THE TRUE HISTORY OF AMERICA.... SHARE THIS OUTRAGE ! WE MUST STOP THIS NOW! THE ASSHOLE KEEPS US OUT OF THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE WHILE HE DESECRATES IT LIKE AN INNER CITY HOODLUM SPRAY PAINTING HIS CRIB!

When you have a man who has no worth. He inflates his own value with bullshit conveniently interpolated in factual information on official sites!
This is what this Muslim Interloper does! Obama Desecrates Official WH Presidential Biographies

There nothing sacred to a democrat president!

When Bill Clinton FINALLY left the White House you may remember him and Hillary packing up furniture and even paintings that didn’t belong to them (you may also remember him pardoning 200+ notorious criminals upon his exit too, but that’s another story). This was a self centered act of narcissism by a president that had managed to escape every trial and judgement that had come his way, hence the nickname ‘slick willy’ or ‘the teflon president.’ Nothing he did wrong ever mattered and this eventually led to him being convinced that he could take whatever he wanted and do whatever he wished without consequence.

That same self centered, above reproach,”ME ME ME” syndrome  seems to run through our current democrat president as well and is obvious when you consider that he has actually taken our country into war in Libya without congressional approval thereby flipping them and subsequently the American people the middle finger in response. The guy has even gotten away with not providing a valid certificate of birth for nearly four years now. All things considered,  it’s pretty damned obvious that Barack Obama is doing whatever he pleases and this latest story of amending the Official White House Presidential Biographies to include his own “accomplishments”, and I use that word very “liberally” in the sense that his accomplishments have bankrupted our country and basically turned our once thriving City on a Hill into a ghetto in the slums, is a very very disturbing glimpse into the mind of a class A narcissistic, self centered, above reproach, know-it-all who desperately needs to be taken down  a few rungs from his pie in the sky mental state and back down to earth with the rest of us.

First reported by Commentary Magazine and The Washington Examiner this latest slap in the face of all things American is bordering on Historical Desecration and is absolutely vandalism at the very least. According to the reports,  team Obama has went into every single Presidential Biography since Calvin Coolidge (with the exception of Gerald Ford which remains untainted) and amended the entries with bullet points notating Obama’s accomplishments (snicker, sorry can’t help it).  Some of the highlights, beginning with the sacred bio of Ronald Reagan:

• In a June 28, 1985 speech Reagan called for a fairer tax code, one where a multi-millionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary. Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffett Rule.

• On Feb. 22, 1924 Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people. President Coolidge later helped create the Federal Radio Commission, which has now evolved to become the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). President Obama became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls using Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, etc.

• In a 1946 letter to the National Urban League, President Truman wrote that the government has “an obligation to see that the civil rights of every citizen are fully and equally protected.” He ended racial segregation in civil service and the armed forces in 1948. Today the Obama administration continues to strive toward upholding the civil rights of its citizens, repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, allowing people of all sexual orientations to serve openly in our armed forces.

• President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare signed (sic) into law in 1965—providing millions of elderly healthcare stability. President Obama’s historic health care reform law, the Affordable Care Act, strengthens Medicare, offers eligible seniors a range of preventive services with no cost-sharing, and provides discounts on drugs when in the coverage gap known as the “donut hole.”

• On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act. Today the Obama administration continues to protect seniors and ensure Social Security will be there for future generations.

Keep in mind, these are historical biographies that children use to do research for school reports and as such have a direct bearing on their beliefs of American History. They should be free to do research and learn without being bombarded with election year propaganda from “The One.”

In his attempt to extract the best of each president and portray himself as the embodiment of each one’s most highlighted and notable legacies,  Barack Obama is digging up the corpses of some of the most beloved American Presidents in history and spitting on them. Barack Obama needs to realize that his little presidency is just that to most people, a four year span of American history (hopefully) that, in the grand scheme of things, really doesn’t matter. After he’s gone we’ll clean up his messes, undo his ridiculous healthcare laws, and move on.

I think it’s safe to say that no future presidents will be amending Obama’s official white house bio with bullet points of their similar accomplishments because there are none. Barack Obama has used the pulpit of President of The United States as a way of accomplishing his own personal agenda which includes supporting and even in some cases defending the Muslim Brotherhood; not supporting nor defending the agenda of the American People.

Chicago teachers union bosses sacrifice children for Politics of SOCIALIST POWER!

CHICAGO TEACHER UNION TYRANTS PLAY THEIR UNION CARD AND STRIKE. THESE TEACHERS ARE THE HIGHEST PAID IN THE COUNTRY!

BTW: Obama Clan... Occupiers support strike of nation’s highest-paid teachers!  BUT OF COURSE!!

The average teacher who retired in 2011 after 30 or more years of employment—what passes for a full career in the public sector—had a final salary of $105,888 and will receive an annual guaranteed pension of $78,576,” Biggs wrote. “The salary puts the average Chicago teacher in the top 5% or so of workers nationwide, while even fewer private sector workers will receive a pension that generous.”

But Rachel Unterman, a member of Occupy Chicago, said that public teachers in Chicago have neither fair compensation nor adequate working conditions.

“They are being asked to work a longer day and they have not been offered appropriate compensation for that,” she said in an interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation. “What they are striking for now is better working conditions and better learning environments for the students.”

When told that Chicago Public Schools teachers were highly compensated when compared to not just other teachers, but all employees nationwide, she responded that this was just evidence that public teachers everywhere were insufficiently compensated.

While children across the country have returned to school for another year, approximately 400,000 students in Chicago have been forced out of the classroom for four days -- and counting -- as a result of a union-boss-ordered teacher strike in the country's third largest school district.

The strike has forced parents and guardians to scramble to find adequate supervision for their children by taking unscheduled time out of work or making last-minute arrangements with relatives, churches, or daycare centers -- if they're lucky.

And if the union power brokers' strong-armed tactics succeed, it's not just today's children who will suffer.

Union bosses reportedly ordered the strike not primarily over salaries, but to protest modest reforms to make bad teachers more accountable to parents and principals.

Imagine what the union bosses would do if their iron-clad grip on schools were truly in jeopardy.

Of course, school-age children in Chicago have long suffered as a result of the Chicago Teachers Union hierarchy's iron grip on city and state politics.

Even 25 years after U.S. Secretary of Education Bill Bennett named the Chicago public school system the worst in the country, reading scores for elementary and middle school students haven't budged.

The strike comes at a time when local budget problems have driven some cities and towns to bankruptcy.

That's why reform-minded legislators and governors across the country are looking to reign in union bosses' monopoly bargaining powers that corrupt our politics.

And make no mistake, this strike is enabled by the teacher union hierarchy's forced unionism powers.

By extracting forced fees from teachers and funneling that cash into city and state politics, teacher union bosses will threaten to withhold their massive electioneering warchest from politicians who would stand up to them.

It's no wonder the Chicago Democrat political machine has long worked hand-in-hand with union bosses.

If Chicago and Illinois elected officials ever want to pass meaningful education reform or restore fiscal sanity to their budgets, they ought to take a long, hard look at the corrupting effects of monopoly bargaining.

Reform will only be possible by breaking the teacher union hierarchy's special privileges that empower them to corrupt our politics and crush local and state budgets.

First, teachers -- and other civil servants -- should have Right to Work protections.

A Right to Work law would protect teachers who don't want to abandon their students and don't support the teacher union hierarchy's radical political agenda.

Second, the government-sector monopoly bargaining powers that drive this madness ought to be curtailed.

Just like in Wisconsin -- where teacher union militants staged a "sick-out" to protest these very reforms.

We're seeing again in Illinois what happens when the union tyrants are in charge. It's time to fight back.

Senate Dems urge Obama to EO lockdown of Internet

Obama plans to issue cyber security regulations on American businesses before the election? This may stop Patriots from Communicating freely without intervention and propaganda from the Government Media. THE OMG GROUP...

from: gradegovfounder 7:56AM

"Never let a serious crisis go to waste"--Rahm Emanuel

First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of those embassy employees who lost their lives in the riots in Libya. May God wrap His loving arms around all those effected by the violence in Libya.

CONCLUSION:

Many watching the cyber security legislation believe that the President will use a 2003 Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 7 issued by former President Bush to make the rulemaking changes on America's business community in the name of "national security." In light of the death of our Ambassador in Libya last night, in part sparked by an Internet movie ridiculing the Islamic religion, President Obama could issue this new order within the next couple of weeks--before the Nov. election.

Several Democratic Senators are urging the President, in the name of national security, to do as much as he can to advance the goals of the Senate's Cyber security Act (S. 3414), which includes controversial private sector provisions. These private sector provisions are strong incentives for businesses to share internet information with the Federal government.

The Senate failed to advance the Senate Cyber security bill on Aug. 2, 2012. The action required 60 affirmative votes to move the bill forward in the Senate. The vote was 52 to 46. (Link to the vote: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=112&session=2&vote=00187)

Sens Feinstein (D-CA) and Rockefeller (D-WVA) sent letters to the President on Aug. 28 & Aug. 13 in which they urged him to act on cyber security provisions since the bill failed in the Senate. Part of the letter reads like this:

“I therefore urge you to issue an Executive Order, or take other appropriate action, to advance the cyber security of our Nation's critical infrastructure.”

Sen. Lieberman (I-CT), the main author of the Senate cyber security bill, also endorsed the idea of an executive order.

“If Congress cannot get its act together to protect our nation from the real, urgent, and growing threat of cyber attack, then the president must do everything he can by executive order,” the statement said.

Senator Collins (R-ME) has rejected the executive order idea, saying that it should not be used as a substitute for legislative action.

The Senate cyber security bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to develop strong voluntary cyber security standards for information sharing for all operators of “critical infrastructure,” such as power plants and water systems. Many in the business community fear that these standards would lead to cumbersome and burdensome government regulations on ALL American businesses.

Remember what the President did earlier this year---

The President ordered DHS to take steps that were almost identical to the proposed Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act (S. 3992), an immigration bill that had been defeated in the Senate.

Back in 2011, the White House unveiled a comprehensive cyber security proposal that was similar to the Senate's original cyber security bill. It called for DHS to be granted new strong rulemaking authority.

Remember the full quote of the then chief of staff to President Obama, it goes like this: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."--Rahm Emanuel

Stay tuned!

How unions became so powerful, Unions and Democrats an UNHOLY EVIL alliance,

How Public Unions Became So Powerful!  The Democratic Cash cow !!|

By 1970, nearly 20% of American workers were employed by government.

By PAUL MORENO

The Chicago teachers strike has put Democrats in a difficult position. Teacher unions are the most powerful constituency in the Democratic Party, but their interests are ever more clearly at odds with taxpayers and inner-city families. Chicago is reviving scenes from the last crisis of liberalism in the 1970s, when municipal unions drove many American cities to disorder and bankruptcy. Where did their power come from?

 

Before the 1950s, government-employee unions were almost inconceivable. When the Boston police unionized and went on strike in 1919, the ensuing chaos—rioting and looting—crippled the public-union idea. Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge became a national hero by breaking the strike, issuing the dictum: "There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, any time." President Woodrow Wilson called the strike "an intolerable crime against civilization."

President Franklin D. Roosevelt also rejected government unionism. He told the head of the Federation of Federal Employees in 1937 that collective bargaining "cannot be transplanted into the public service. The very nature and purposes of government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer" because "the employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws."

FDR pointed out the obvious, that the government is sovereign. If an organization can compel the government to do something, then that organization will be the real sovereign. Thus the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act of 1935 gave private-sector unions the power to compel employers to bargain, but the act excluded government workers. It declared that federal and state and local governments were not "employers" under its terms.

Postwar prosperity and the great increase of public employment revived the public union idea. By 1970, nearly 20% of American workers worked for the government. (In 1900: 4%.) The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees led the effort to persuade a state to allow public-employee unionization, and Afscme prevailed in Wisconsin in 1958. New York City and other cities also permitted their workers to unionize.

President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order 50 years ago that broke the dam. The order did not permit federal employees to bargain over wages (these are still set by Congress), or to force workers to join a union or to strike (no state or city allowed that), but Kennedy's directive did lead to unionization of the federal workforce. And it gave great impetus to more liberal state and local laws. Government-union membership rose tenfold in the 1960s.

Things soon got ugly. The Wagner Act had fomented labor militancy, notably sit-down strikes in 1937 that disrupted manufacturing and retarded the economy. But in the late 1960s and 1970s, federal and state union-promoting laws produced unprecedented strikes by teachers, garbage collectors, postal workers and others, even though every state prohibited strikes by public employees.

Striking Chicago public-school teachers on Monday.

Afscme began to arouse resentment from other union federations—especially the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union. Afscme's abrasive president, Jerry Wurf, became an easy target for his opponents. He was said to have advised Baltimore firefighters to "let Baltimore burn" if union demands were not met; Wurf was subsequently regarded as generally having a let-it-burn attitude.

In 1976 the Supreme Court derailed a movement to enact the National Public Employment Relations Law ("a Wagner Act for public employees," as supporters described it) led by Rep. William Clay of Missouri. The court held that Congress could not apply federal labor laws to state employees. The justices stated the obvious, that "the States as states stand on a quite different footing from an individual or a corporation."

By the end of the 1970s, the budgetary burdens imposed by public unions had helped revive conservative movements, leading to the elections of Margaret Thatcher in 1979 and Ronald Reagan in 1980. Undeterred, William Clay told the Professional Air Traffic Controllers at Patco's 1980 convention to "revise your political thinking. It should start with the premise that you have no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, just permanent interests. It must be selfish and pragmatic." He told them to "learn the rules of the game," which were "that you don't put the interest of any other group ahead of your own. What's good for the federal employees must be interpreted as being good for the nation." The take-no-prisoners message helps explain why President Reagan fired and replaced the striking controllers, and why the public overwhelmingly supported him.

Historians tend to depict the Patco strike as a replay of the 1919 Boston police strike, with Reagan as the new Coolidge. But breaking the Patco strike had zero impact on public unionism. It may have cooled the willingness to strike, but unions continued to flourish. Public employment and government unionism have grown more than the population since 1980. The Patco replacements soon joined the National Air Traffic Controllers Association and carried on Patco's work.

Nor did the breaking of the strike "send a signal" to private employers to take a hard line against their unions, as some historians of the time have suggested. The factors responsible for private-union decline antedated the Patco strike and continued after it. Reagan ultimately may have even helped the public-employee union movement: By stoking the nation's economic revival in the 1980s, he made the costs of public unions begin to seem less onerous, and polls suggested that American worries about the matter declined.

Public unions do well in flush times like the 1950s and 1960s, but they suffer when taxpayers feel their true cost, as in the 1970s—and today.

Mr. Moreno, a professor of history at Hillsdale College, is the author of "The American State from the Civil War to the New Deal," forthcoming from Cambridge University Press.

A version of this article appeared September 12, 2012, on page A15 in the U.S. edition of The Wall Street Journal, with the headline: How Public Unions Became So Powerful.

Ambassador Chris Stevens was first sodomized and raped before he was killed..Obama has blood on his hands !! SCREW THIS ARAB SPRING SHIT!!

Libya ambassador Chris Stevens was sodomized and raped before he was killed: Islamic Beast/Al-Qaeda terrorist in Libya may have used riot over anti-Muslim movie as a diversion to pull off 9/11 anniversary attack.

It all starts with Obama's love affair with the MAD MUSLIM WORLD! ENOUGH THIS MUST END !!

U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens killed in a rocket attack during protests over an anti-Muslim film in Libya.

The Arabic language website known as Lebanon News (Tayar.org) has just reported the horrific claim that the heavily armed mob responsible for the murder of U.S. Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, 52, actually raped him before he was killed.
The Google Translation of the report follows:
-"The U.S. ambassador to Libya was raped sexually before killing by gunmen who stormed the embassy building in Benghazi last night to protest against the film is offensive to the Prophet Muhammad"
-"The sources told AFP said that 'Ambassador was killed and representation of his body in a manner similar to what happened with Gaddafi, such as murder.'"
Ambassador Stevens was killed on Tuesday along with three other embassy staff as a group of terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate office in Benghazi, where Stevens was hold up.
The mob fired countless gunshots and rocket propelled grenades at the U.S. compound, eventually setting the consulate ablaze.
Also on Tuesday, a violent mob scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, replacing the U.S. flag with that of al Queda's.
Over his career, Stevens served two diplomatic tours in Libya, and was confirmed as ambassador to that country by the Senate in May.

President Obama denounced the wave of violence that swept through the Middle East and claimed the lives of four Americans in Libya  including U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens. 

But Obama was not even at his own security briefings the week leading up to anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. What kind of a shit does that?
The envoy was killed after gun-toting protesters stormed the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city.
The attack, and a related embassy-storming in Egypt, was seemingly sparked by fury over a low-budget film produced in California that some found offensive to Muslims, but federal sources told CNN that an  Al-Qaeda-affiliated group responsible for a previous armed assault on the consulate may have taken advantage of the demonstration to attack on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks of 2001.
KILLED U.S. AMBASSADOR CHRIS STEVENS WAS A DEDICATED DIPLOMAT
“The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack,” Obama said Wednesday morning from the Rose Garden, joined by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“Since our founding the U.S. is a nation that respects all faiths,” the president added. “There is no justification of this type of senseless violence. None.”

Right !!! LIP SERVICE !!! NOW HE WILL APOLOGIZE TO THE TURBAN HEADS!!

The Blasphemy of False Prophets

I was watching the "news" accounts of the ongoing Obama-fiasco in Libya and Egypt this morning, and I couldn't help but come to one headline/twitter friendly conclusion:
"Obama Apologized. American Ambassador Eulogized. First Amendment Marginalized."
Perhaps I should add a subsidiary clause to the phrase: maybe something like "Media Sanitized" in reference to the way they are scrambling to protect their precious president as he speaks softly and stumblingly slams his little stick in the Muslim Brotherhood's front door.
But I'm not writing this post to focus on media bias. Others do that, and they do it better than I do. I'm writing this post for a different reason.
I'm angry.

I'm angry at a hypocritical, feckless President who personally spikes the football over Bin Laden's death while his state department apologizes to Islamists for the exertion of similar First Amendment rights by other Americans who aren't lucky enough to be anointed god-kings.
I'm angry that a posturing, empty-suit of a president lectures Americans on "denigrating religious views" when he is on record as referring to Americans of faith as "bitter clingers", and when he has campaign surrogates attacking his opponent for being a Mormon.
I'm angry that our stroke-addled, possibly brain-damaged Vice President describes 9/11 as a "bittersweet" day, as our embassies are burning and Americans are being killed.
I'm angry over the fact that we spent blood and treasure in Obama's "Lead from Behind Libyan Adventure" only to see our Ambassador murdered and dragged thru the streets by the very people Obama placed in power.
I'm angry that we helped force an ally out in Egypt knowing he'd be replaced with an Al-Qaeda friendly government that enjoyed watching its minions take the first symbolic opportunity they had to burn our flag and replace it with Al-Qaeda's.
I'm angry that at a time when Al-Qaeda's flag flies over the Cairo embassy, the mis-administration prepares to forgive over $1 BILLION in Egyptian debt.
I'm angry that "Pimp With A Limp" gets to talk to the president, while Bibi Netanyahu, whose allied country faces a potential nuclear annihilation, gets to talk to the hand.
I'm angry that the gut instinct of this mis-Administration is to sympathize with and excuse those who hold our fundamental values in contempt as those same people actively seek any pretext they can find to slaughter us where we stand.
I'm angry that the mis-Administration's paltry response to a region-wide attack on America, which is, incidentally, what this is, is to deploy 50 Marines to Libya and jet-off to a Vegas fundraiser while preparing a top-ten list for Letterman's show.
I'm angry that the cornerstone freedoms of speech and religious liberty enshrined in our Constitution are so routinely dismissed and mocked by this mis-Administration. 1st Amendment freedom of speech? "Not if it hurts feelings" we are told. Freedom of religion? "Not if it stands between our mis-Administration and giving Sandra Fluke a free abortion should she want one" we are hectored.
But with four Americans dead, our flag burning, and our embassies trashed, you know what really makes me angry?
Our president isn't.
Think about that fact.
Our president isn't. He read a bland and bloodless set of prepared remarks for 10 minutes, hid behind Hillary Clinton's ever-widening skirt, took no questions, and then thought the best thing he could do would be to hit the Vegas strip.
The truth is this: yesterday I read that the President's team came out swinging against the "2016:Obama's America" movie.
They didn't like the way the president was portrayed. So they attacked Dinesh D'souza and, for some reason, Tea Partiers.
Here is the language they used on BarackObama.com:
“It should say enough about D’Souza’s credibility that a movie catering to the Tea Party attacks someone for allegedly ‘anti-colonial’ views,” the entry reads. “His attempts to hide his lies behind pseudo-scholarly presentation and glossy production values cannot withstand basic scrutiny. The facts show that 2016: Obama’s America is nothing more than an insidious attempt to dishonestly smear the President by giving intellectual cover to the worst in subterranean conspiracy theories and false, partisan attacks.”
That's tougher than anything Obama said in response to the death of an American ambassador, his staff, or the attack on our embassy grounds.
Which I guess suggests a lesson of sorts. Like those who attacked our embassies and killed our personnel, Obama seems to get riled up by movies that make a point of smearing a self-proclaimed false-messianic prophet.
We can do better. We have to do better. I'm doing all I can to vent my anger into something constructive. I hope you'll join me.

Obama's Record on Private Sector Jobs, dismal growth and the bullshit about doing better than all other Presidents. He is a LIAR!

Barack Obama and a tutorial on manipulating economic statistics! (Video)

September 11, 2012 By Michael Haltman 

The statistic in question here is the creation of jobs in the United States during the first term of Barack Obama compared to a specific period of time during the Bush administration!

Numbers are a funny thing in that what you see is not always what you get.

Of course if you add 1+1 the answer will always be 2, but if instead you are making a comparison between different numbers and varying time periods the outcome can sometimes be manipulated to achieve whatever the desired result the presenter may want.

And nowhere are numbers,specifically jobs, more critical than in the case of the presidential election between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

The state of the economy, jobs creation and the unemployment rate will likely prove to be among the major factors deciding who will be the next President of the United States.

With that in mind the Obama administration claims that it has helped to create over 4 million jobs during the last 27 months, more than in the 7 years prior to the start of the crisis.

Is this fact true, false or maybe technically true while being extremely misleading?

Jobs creation information without the OBAMA BULLSHIT...watch the video and understand the scam he is pulling on us!

Obama skips intelligence meetings most of the time to make time for Fund Raising and Golf and Vacations.

White House Admits Obama Skips Most Intelligence Briefings

President Barack Obama has missed more than half of his daily intelligence briefings since he came into power, a new report shows.

Obama has been to less than 44 percent of the vital meetings, the White House admits, with his attendance reaching a low spot towards the end of 2011 and the start of this year.

His predecessor, George W, Bush made a point of having the meetings six days a week, and attending as many as possible, the American Enterprise Institute fellow, Marc Thiessen reports in the Washington Post.

Obama’s attendance figures were prepared by the conservative Government Accountability Institute, and were not disputed by the White House. At one point he was attending fewer than two meetings out of five.

National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Thiessen that Obama’s attendance at the meetings was “not particularly interesting or useful,” as he received written daily briefings. “The president gets the information he needs from the intelligence community every day,” Vietor said.

However, in January, the Post published an article, in which security officials stressed the importance of the daily meetings. “One regular participant in the roughly 500 Oval Office sessions during Obama’s presidency said the meetings show a president consistently participating in an exploration of foreign policy and intelligence issues,” that piece said.

Thiessen’s Op-Ed says that the president’s personal attendance at the briefings “is enormously important both for the president and those who prepare the brief.”

“For the president, the meeting is an opportunity to ask questions of the briefers, probe assumptions and request additional information,” Thiessen writes.

“For those preparing the brief, meeting with the president on a daily basis gives them vital, direct feedback from the commander in chief about what is on his mind, how they can be more responsive to his needs, and what information he may have to feed back into the intelligence process.”

Thiessen adds, “This process cannot be replicated on paper.”

Mitt Romney a Real Good Man.... We need Integrity and Honesty in the White House after almost four years of a CROOK running things!

What Mitt Romney Left Behind: The People Who Bought His House Tell Their Story

September 9, 2012 By Nancy French 7 Comments

Buying a house is usually an impersonal transaction.  The buyer sees a scrubbed version of the home, artfully “staged,” possibly with a fresh coat of paint and flowers on the table.  Once a purchase price has been negotiated, the buyer and the seller sign legal papers in triplicate, and the new owner gets a set of keys and – if lucky – an extra garage door opener. So, when Hal and Corinne Prewitt decided to buy Mitt and Ann Romney’s Park City, Utah home in spring of 2009, they figured they were in for another paperwork hassle.  What they got, however, was a great house, interesting interactions with the man who’d just lost a bid to be the previous election’s GOP nominee, and some insight into the character of the possible next President.  In fact, their interaction with Romney was so different than what the Prewitts expected, Hal decided to write down his experience in a Google document which has since been downloaded over 100,000 times.
First of all, the Prewitts were impressed – and a little shocked — when Mitt Romney met them at the property on moving day. There were no brokers or anyone there at the house – just the former governor walking around the house to make sure the new owners were comfortable and familiar with their purchase. “He spent as much time as we needed showing us around, answering our questions and explaining how to use and service the home’s equipment,” Hal wrote.  “And when he was done, he gave us his direct contact information should we have problems.
Secondly, the Prewitts were fascinated by the way Gov. Romney – worth, by some calculations, hundreds of millions of dollars – decided to move his things.  Some people hire professional movers to pack their things, others hire them to transport them, and others prefer a do-it-yourself approach.  Gov. Romney fit into the last category.  He went to Home Depot, bought wood, and built the necessary containers to transport his possession from the house.  Then, he asked a friend and some family to help him pack his family photos, mementos, and grandchildren’s toys. Then, they carried his things into a U-Haul, which he drove to his new home in California.
The home, according to the Prewitts, was built with a focus on their family, even though it had “no swimming pool, tennis court or movie theater. There are no maid, butler or nanny quarters. Clearly Ann and Mitt raised their kids. No gold faucets, no fancy silverware. The kitchen was simple and typical of an average three bedroom home, very much like those in which we were raised.”  Because the Prewitts bought much of the home’s contents, they also got to see the way the family really lived in their home: the linens didn’t have the highest thread count, the master bedroom pillows had tags from a discount store, and almost everything — the art, furniture and drapes — were American made.
Plus, there were lots of toys for the grandchildren.  Also, in the Romney’s former mud room, Hal and Corinne found the former governor’s ski gloves with holes in the fingers. Apparently, one of Mitt’s sons had suggested he replace the gloves, but Gov. Romney, whom his sons have described as “frugal” and even “cheap,” thought he could salvage them.  When Hal and Corinne found the gloves, they’d been altered.
“Mitt had gone to the garage tool box and wrapped them with duct tape. Thrifty? Yes, and the repair provided an immediate practical solution rather than traveling to the store to buy a new pair,” Hal wrote.  “His indifference to appearance demonstrated his confidence, true character and priorities. Good qualities, but easily misunderstood because they are quite different from those displayed by many famous people and certainly politicians, who highly protect and prize their appearance.”
In the Romney’s master bedroom, was a prominent painting of Jesus Christ.  “Most Americans know little about Mormonism and we didn’t either,” Hal wrote. “But Mitt Romney clearly had a home of faith and family just like the rest of us.”
“One of the most interesting questions many have asked is, ‘as president will he impose his beliefs on others?’” Hal wrote.  “Many claim that a President Romney would take away rights and impose his beliefs on all Americans.”  However, possibly the most surprising discovery was a small stash of alcohol in the house, which – the Prewitts were told – was for guests only.  Mormonism prohibits drinking alcohol, of course, and the Romneys are teetotalers.  However, they kept a few drinks on hand to be good hosts and make sure their guests felt comfortable. Hal believes this stash shows the Romneys wouldn’t impose their beliefs on others from the White House, because they didn’t even impose their beliefs on others in their own house.
The Prewitts didn’t support Romney in the 2008 election. Neither Republicans nor Democrats, they knew very little about Romney, Utah, or his former Presidential bid when they looked for a winter home.  However, they felt they needed to speak out, because the caricature of Romney on television is such a far cry from the real man who showed him around the house and packed his own boxes that day.
“Mitt Romney… is not aloof or out of touch. He is a man of faith, family and American values. A guy who is well-grounded. It is not beneath him to roll up his shirt-sleeves and get the job done,” Hal wrote.  “The fact that he has allowed this to be kept so very private is a true testament to his character and shows how different he is from many other politicians.”
If Romney wins in November, he’ll be faced with yet another move. Will the new President show up at the White House in a U-Haul? With $16 trillion of national debt, it just might be a move in the right direction

Barack Obama was a 19-year-old student at Occidental College, he published two poems in the Spring 1982 issue of Occidental’s literary magazine

Obama’s disturbing poem on man-boy relationship: Disgraceful thing is that this Usurper is the 'Seated" President of the United States!

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Dr. Eowyn

When Barack Obama was a 19-year-old student at Occidental College, he published two poems in the Spring 1982 issue of Occidental’s literary magazine, Feast. One is the cringe-worthy “Underground” about “apes that eat figs.” The other poem, “Pop,” is much more interesting, biographical, and disturbing.

“Pop”
Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken
In, sprinkled with ashes,
Pop switches channels, takes another
Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks
What to do with me, a green young man
Who fails to consider the
Flim and flam of the world, since
Things have been easy for me;
I stare hard at his face, a stare
That deflects off his brow;
I’m sure he’s unaware of his
Dark, watery eyes, that
Glance in different directions,
And his slow, unwelcome twitches,
Fail to pass.
I listen, nod,
Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,
Beige T-shirt, yelling,
Yelling in his ears, that hang
With heavy lobes, but he’s still telling
His joke, so I ask why
He’s so unhappy, to which he replies…
But I don’t care anymore, cause
He took too damn long, and from
Under my seat, I pull out the
Mirror I’ve been saving; I’m laughing,
Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face
To mine, as he grows small,
A spot in my brain, something
That may be squeezed out, like a
Watermelon seed between
Two fingers.
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine, and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem
He wrote before his mother died,
Stands, shouts, and asks
For a hug, as I shrink, my
Arms barely reaching around
His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; ‘cause
I see my face, framed within
Pop’s black-framed glasses
And know he’s laughing too.

The poem reads autobiographical — about a young Obama’s relationship with a much older man whom he calls Pop. In his article for WND on March 7, 2012, Dr. Jack Cashill singles out this passage from the poem:

“Pop takes another shot, neat/ Points out the same amber/ Stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine, and/ Makes me smell his smell, coming/ From me;”

Cashill writes that the most innocent explanation for the “amber stain” on the shorts of Pop and young Obama or “his smell, coming/ From me” is that Pop got the teenaged Obama drunk, and they both spilled whiskey (Seagrams) on themselves. But that interpretation does not explain why the spill is specifically on their shorts and not on their shirts or how Pop’s smell is also on (“from”) Obama.
A marriage and family therapist who blogs under the tag “Neo-Neocon” senses a darker relationship. She writes:
“The lines that begin ‘points out the same amber stain…Makes me smell his smell, coming/
From me’ may be describing outright sexual abuse. But perhaps not; we don’t know, and we’ll never know. But there is no question that the poem is describing a boundary violation on several levels: this child feels invaded—perhaps even taken over—by this man, and is fighting against that sensation.
[...] The poem describes a boundary violation that is both physical and mental. The physical is obvious: he is forced to hug the man who repels him, and as he does so he feels himself shrinking. But the violation is mental, too; earlier in the poem, Obama has described “Pop” as a person who has actually gotten into his brain, and whom he wishes to eliminate from it:

as he grows small,

A spot in my brain, something

That may be squeezed out, like a 

Watermelon seed between

Two fingers.

This mental and emotional usurpation of the young Obama is echoed in the last image of the poem, in which the boy sees his own tiny image framed in ‘Pop’s’ eyeglasses.
 The poem describes a struggle against an attempt at identity takeover, a rejection of being reduced to a reflection in the eyes of the stronger, older, more experienced mentor, who has tried to make Obama over in his own image:

I see my face, framed within
Pop’s black-framed glasses
…

The sight is chilling to Obama, who is trying to break free. One wonders if he ever fully succeeded.”

So who was Pop?

There were two older men in teen Obama’s life:
1. His maternal grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham, with whom Obama had lived from age 10 to 18 in Honolulu. When Obama was ten years old, his mom, Stanley Ann Dunham, had sent him back to Hawaii to live with her parents while she remained in Indonesia.
2. Frank Marshall Davis, a black long-time friend of Stanley Armour Dunham, whom Dunham had introduced to young Obama to be the latter’s African-American mentor. Davis was a member of the American Communist Party, a writer of poetry and books, including the pornographic novel, Sex Rebel: Black, using the pseudonym “Bob Greene.” Cashill states that there is no doubt Davis wrote Sex Rebel because Davis admitted as much in his memoir, Livin’ the Blues: “I could not then truthfully deny that this book, which came out in 1968 as a Greenleaf Classic, was mine.”
During the presidential campaign season in 2008, I read Sex Rebel, which is out of print, by borrowing the book from the library of the University of California, Berkeley. I therefore can testify from having read the book that Sex Rebel is an account of the unorthodox sexual exploits of a black man “Bob Greene”. Those sexual exploits included marrying a white woman (just as Davis himself did, which was uncommon in the 1960s); “swinging” or wife-swapping with other couples; picking up prospective couples in public parks; sexual orgies; voyeurism; exhibitionism; bisexualism (Greene wrote that “under certain circumstances I am bisexual”); and the seduction by “Greene” and his white wife of a 13-year-old girl named Anne.
(It is the pedophilia that has prompted increasing speculation on the net that “Anne” was actually Stanley Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother; and that Frank Marshall Davis had sired Obama. That’s the reason why Obama conceals his birth certificate. This is the subject of a documentary movie that will come out this summer. For more information, go here.)
Update (Aug. 21, 2012): Joel Gilbert, the maker of the documentary “Dreams From My Real Father,” has uncovered handwritten letters by Davis to Margaret Burroughs, the well-known African-American artist, in which Davis refers to his book “Sex Rebel: Black” as his “thoroughly erotic autobiography.” Davis had a sexual affair with Burroughs which, Davis explains, was included in the novel autobiography. [Read more, here.]
In the introduction to Sex Rebel, an alleged Ph.D. named Dale Gordon goes further. He describes the pseudonymous author, Bob Greene, as having “strong homosexual tendencies in his personality.”
There are those, like Rebecca Mead of The New Yorker, who say “Pop” is a “loving if slightly jaded portrait of Obama’s maternal grandfather.”
But both Jack Cashill and Neo-Neocon point out that Obama, in his memoir Dreams From My Father, called Stanley Armour Dunham not “Pop” but “Gramps.”

There are other reasons pointing to Frank Marshall Davis as “Pop”:

1. “Pop” wrote poetry: Dunham was a life-long furniture salesman whose literary efforts, if any, were confined to making up dirty limericks. In contrast, Davis had written several books of poetry — Black Man’s Verse (1935), I Am the American Negro (1937), Through Sepia Eyes (1938), 47th Street (1948), Awakening and Other Poems (1978).
2. A line in Obama’s poem “he switches channels, recites an old poem/ He wrote before his mother died” also points to Davis as “Pop”. Dunham’s mother died when he was 8 years old, whereas Davis’ mother died when he was 20 and already established as a poet of promise.
3. In his memoir Dreams From My Father, Obama’s description of a seedy and dissipated older man named Frank is strikingly similar to “Pop” in his poem:

“…by the time I met Frank [Obama was around nine years old] he must have been pushing eighty, with a big dewlapped face and an ill-kempt gray Afro that made him look like an old, shaggy-maned lion. He would read us his poetry whenever we stopped by his house, sharing whiskey with gramps out of an emptied jelly jar. As the night wore on, the two of them would solicit my help in composing dirty limericks. Eventually, the conservation would turn to laments about women.

“They’ll drive you to drink, boy,” Frank would tell me soberly. “And if you let ‘em, they’ll drive you into your grave.”

I was intrigued by the old Frank, with his books and whiskey breath and the hint of hard-earned knowledge behind the hooded eyes. The visits to his house always left me feeling vaguely uncomfortable, though, as if I were witnessing some complicated, unspoken transaction between the two men, a transaction I couldn’t fully understand….”

4. Davis fits the “seedy old man” description more than Dunham: Born in 1905, Davis was 56 years older than Obama and would be 66 years old when Obama was ten. Born in 1918, Dunham was 43 years older than Obama and would be a youngish 53 years old when Obama was ten.
Here are some photos I’ve found of Stanley Armour Dunham and Frank Marshall Davis. Decide for yourself which man better fits the physical description of Pop in Obama’s poem: “dark watery eyes”; “ears that hang with heavy lobes”; “thick, oily neck”; “broad back”; “black-framed glasses”.

 

Stanley Armour Dunham with child Obama (l); Dunham with 19-year-old Obama (r)

 

Frank Marshall Davis as a young man (l); as an old man (r)

Whether Pop was Davis or Dunham, this much is certain: His relationship with young Obama, as the latter described it in the poem “Pop,” was creepy and disturbingly suggestive of pederasty.
