June unemployment rate 8.2 percent, Labor force participation rate 63.8 percent, Manufacturing and Wages Drop, Waxman Declares a Depression

“The United States economy has lost more jobs than it has added since the recovery began over a year ago.”…NY Times Sept. 20, 2010.

“Guilford (Large NC County) appears on it’s way to a third consecutive year with annual jobless rates in double digits. Economists say that likely hasn’t happened since the Great Depression.”…Greensboro News Record December 2, 2011

“the Times of the nineteenth of December had published the official forecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in the fourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. Today’s issue contained a statement of the actual output, from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grossly wrong. Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones.”…George Orwell, “1984″

From Philly.com July 7, 2012.

“U.S. unemployment rate stays at 8.2 percent”

“Three years after the official end of the recession, the nation’s payrolls added 80,000 jobs in June, well short of the 100,000 to 150,000 jobs that economists say are necessary each month to keep up with population growth.

The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 8.2 percent, the U.S. Labor Department reported Friday.

The recession, which rocked the nation’s economy and is still influencing business and consumer spending, began in December 2007 and ended, officially, in June 2009.

“We’re three years past the end of the recession, and for many Americans, the recovery has never shown up,” said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities in Charlotte.

“We’ve been consistently adding jobs,” said Heidi Shierholz, a labor market economist at the Economic Policy Institute in Washington. “But we’ve been adding what we need to roughly tread water. It’s not what we need to dig out. It’s just what we need to hang on.”

Stock markets fell in response to the news. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 124.20 points at 12,772.47.”

“Retailing declined, with the biggest drops in department and general merchandise stores, reflecting a general cutback in consumer spending.

To Kurt Rankin, an economist at the PNC Financial Services Group, the drop in retail spending is emblematic of what has been happening since the recession ended.

“Consumer psychology was impacted dramatically and is still suffering from the lingering aftereffects,” he said. Scared by what they saw, Americans are putting their money into reducing their personal debt, rebuilding retirement nest eggs, and increasing their savings, he said.

“We’re stuck with a slow-stall speed recovery,” Rankin said, “and that’s kept hiring and consumer spending from breaking free.”

Friday’s results were particularly disappointing after Thursday’s optimistic trio of portents:

There was the survey from the ADP payroll company showing the addition of 176,000 jobs in June, outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas’ news that June’s announced job cuts were the lowest in a year, and the report that first-time claims for unemployment had dropped for the week ending June 23.

The bad news in June’s Labor Department report included an increase in the “U-6” statistic – the measurement of the miserable – to 14.9 percent. That’s all the unemployed, plus discouraged workers, plus part-time workers who would like full-time work, and others marginally associated with the labor force.

The “U-6” rate is down from 16.2 percent a year ago, but up from 14.8 percent in May.

“We may be suffering through a major heat wave, but the economy is cooling off,” said Bucks County economist Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisers. “With so much uncertainty about the world economy and politics, businesses have decided the best course is to do very little.”

The average length of unemployment grew to 39.9 weeks, up from 39.7 in May and virtually unchanged since 39.8 weeks in June 2011, a testimony to the unrelenting difficulty that the long-term unemployed have in finding jobs.

The median length of unemployment, which is the amount of time it takes most people to find work, has fallen a little more than two weeks in a year, from 22.1 weeks to 19.8 weeks.

Of the 12.7 million unemployed, up 29,000 from May, 41.9 percent have been out of work for more than 27 weeks. Federal emergency unemployment benefits are due to expire at the end of the year, meaning that those who now become unemployed can expect to receive only 26 weeks of benefits, assuming that they qualify.”

From Rush Limbaugh July 03, 2012.

“Manufacturing, Wages Drop. “Nostrilitis” Waxman Declares a Depression. Who’s to Blame? Democrats Say…Walmart!”

“BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Well, folks, I hate to be the bearer of this kind of news, but the news is what it is. And this news is from the Washington Examiner: “Wages Drop, Only 5th Time in 33 Years … Average weekly wages fell in 2011, one of only five declines since the category was created in 1978 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In a just-released review of employment in the nation’s largest 322 counties, BLS found that weekly wages dropped over the year by 1.7 percent to $955 in the fourth quarter of 2011 from a high of $971 in the fourth quarter of 2010. … The wage drop comes as employment has increased in a majority of the counties in the last quarter of 2011.” Employment has increased? “That irony makes it the only quarter in history where wages shrunk while employment grew.”

I’m telling you, if the election were today, it would be a landslide defeat for Obama. I don’t care who Romney picks as his veep, it isn’t gonna matter, if the election were held today.

In manufacturing news. “US manufacturing shrank in June for the first time in nearly three years, adding to signs that economic growth is weakening.” That’s how the AP chose to characterize it. Production declined. The number of new orders plunged. Good Lord, folks. After three-and-a-half years of being told by this administration that they have the answers for this, that they have the answers and we’re on the rebound, we’ve turned the corner, we’re coming back from the brink. Every policy that this administration has instituted has done great damage. They talked about the manufacturing. We have a little montage of media Drive-Bys talking about it.
SANTELLI: Holy smokes. We haven’t been under 50 since July of ’09.

LIESMAN: The softness in the economy is evident in the ISM’s.

VARNEY: The ISM report for the month of June came in weak. That’s taken the market down.

SCHATZKER: A dismal picture this morning.

PAYNE: Below 50 means contraction, not expansion. Manufacturing is the thing that’s supposed to be the game-changer for our economy.
RUSH: That was Charles Payne, Fox Business Channel there, the last comment you heard, and he’s exactly right. Henry “Nostrilitis” Waxman was on C-SPAN Newsmakers on Sunday morning. They’re talking about the economy. One of the panelists was a woman named Kate Hunter from Bloomberg, and she said to “Nostrilitis” Waxman, “Most people seem to think that, you know, passage of the health care law in 2010 contributed to Democrats losing control of the House that year in midterm elections. I’m wondering, do you think that tradeoff was worth it, getting the health care law passed and losing the House?”

WAXMAN: If that were the tradeoff. But, look, the president inherited a terrible economy. We were hemorrhaging jobs in 2008 when he got elected, so by the time he took office in 2009, we had over 10% unemployment. We had the banks frozen. They couldn’t deal with their assets. The economy has not recovered. Some people call it a recession. I think it’s a depression.

RUSH: It’s a depression. The Democrats are tweeting about manufacturing, I kid you not: “Ten Reasons Walmart is responsible for the decline of American manufacturing.” That’s what the Democrats are tweeting. Walmart’s responsible for it. How can that be? Walmart depends on people manufacturing stuff so they can stock it. But I thought the private sector was doing fine. That’s what Obama said. Private sector’s doing fine. Now it’s Walmart’s fault.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Here’s Henry Waxman, “Well, you know, he inherited a horrible economy, hemorrhaging jobs in 2008.” They started hemorrhaging jobs in this economy after Obama was elected in 2008. Go back and look at the monthly unemployment numbers and then take a look at November and December and then January. The bottom fell out, the Wall Street bottom fell out. And it hasn’t recovered. But these people had all the answers. Hope and change. Everything was gonna be better now. They had miracles waiting to enact. Everything they have done has brought great damage to this economy under the guise of fixing it.

  1. coldwarvet2's avatar coldwarvet2

    Someone should remind Waxman that the Dems controlled the congress for two years prior to bo becoming president. No one ever mentions this. The damage though, began in the Clinton administration….not to say that Bush didn’t make a few mistakes of his own. bo has merely finished off the system with his giant communist hammer. Keynesian economic theory will always render the same result. It’s not the first time it’s been tried after all.

  2. CitizenWElls's avatar citizenwells

    coldwarvet2.
    Thanks for mentioning that.
    You hear it here (Dems controlling congress Jan 2007).
    Keep this message going.

  3. Citizenwells and coldwarvet2,
    They didn’t just control congress in 2007, they had their fingers on Fannie Mae and Freddie for years before that. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac gave the government backing that directly led to the real estate speculation, repackaged loans, and ultimately to the housing bubble and collapse. This is all about ACORN (and it’s noble peace prize winning lawyer), Democrats, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and Frank Raines. The economic collapse wasn’t caused by this entirely, it was the set up but not the cause of the bleeding. The real cause was the dramatic fuel price increases that occurred in Sept of 2008, with oil speculation almost doubling the price of gasoline and diesel. Then, the final nail was the sudden run on the banks.

    The economy collapsed because of: 1) Democrats running Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and refusing to allow regulations that prevented them from backing junk loans. 2) Fuel price Spike, likely initiated by China as a means to help usher in a POTUS that would weaken us, by ‘ordering’ fuel and then turning back the tankers. 3) Run of the banks, likely perpetrated by Muslim countries and their rulers as well as George Soros. 4) Democratic Congress that couldn’t understand how to balance a budge or help US industry grow.

    To any of our liberal readers, don’t believe for a second that I don’t blame republicans, whom KNEW full well of the games that Frank Raines were playing and cashed in on the scams just as well. I could go on but in the interest of brevity it’s really time to consider how to fix it, and I’m already certain that Obama has failed. The good news is that I can now say with certainty that FDR’s policies resulted in a prolonged world depression once before, just as they have failed with Jimmy Carter and Obama.

  4. Five major ObamaCare taxes that will hit your wallet in 2013

    While the individual mandate tax gets most of the attention, the ObamaCare law actually contains 20 new or higher taxes on the American people. These taxes are gradually phased in over the years 2010 (with its 10 percent “tanning tax”) to 2018 (when the tax on comprehensive health insurance plans kicks in.)
    Six months from now, in January 2013, five major ObamaCare taxes will come into force:

    1. The ObamaCare Medical Device Manufacturing Tax
    This 2.3 percent tax on medical device makers will raise the price of (for example) every pacemaker, prosthetic limb, stent, and operating table. Can you remind us, Mr. President, how taxing medical devices will reduce the cost of health care? The tax is particularly destructive because it is levied on gross sales and even targets companies who haven’t turned a profit yet.
    These are often small, scrappy companies with less than 20 employees who pioneer the next generation of life-prolonging devices. In addition to raising the cost of health care, this $20 billion tax over the next ten years will not help the country’s jobs outlook, as the industry employs nearly 400,000 Americans. Several companies have already responded to the looming tax by cutting research and development budgets and laying off workers.

    2. The ObamaCare High Medical Bills Tax
    This onerous tax provision will hit Americans facing the highest out-of-pocket medical bills. Currently, Americans are allowed to deduct medical expenses on their 1040 form to the extent the costs exceed 7.5 percent of one’s adjusted gross income.
    The new ObamaCare provision will raise that threshold to 10 percent, subjecting patients to a higher tax bill. This tax will hit pre-retirement seniors the hardest. Over the next ten years, affected Americans will pony up a minimum total of $15 billion in taxes thanks to this provision.

    3. The ObamaCare Flexible Spending Account Cap
    The 24 million Americans who have Flexible Spending Accounts will face a new federally imposed $2,500 annual cap. These pre-tax accounts, which currently have no federal limit, are used to purchase everything from contact lenses to children’s braces. With the cost of braces being as high as $7,200, this tax provision will play an unwelcome role in everyday kitchen-table health care decisions.
    The cap will also affect families with special-needs children, whose tuition can be covered using FSA funds. Special-needs tuition can cost up to $14,000 per child per year. This cruel tax provision will limit the options available to such families, all so that the federal government can squeeze an additional $13 billion out of taxpayer pockets over the next ten years.
    The targeting of FSAs by President Obama and congressional Democrats is no accident. The progressive left has never been fond of the consumer-driven accounts, which serve as a small roadblock in their long-term drive for a one-size-fits-all government health care bureaucracy.
    For further proof, note the ObamaCare “medicine cabinet tax” which since 2011 has barred the 13.5 million Americans with Health Savings Accounts from purchasing over-the-counter medicines with pre-tax funds.

    4. The ObamaCare Surtax on Investment Income
    Under current law, the capital gains tax rate for all Americans rises from 15 to 20 percent in 2013, while the top dividend rate rises from 15 to 39.6 percent. The new ObamaCare surtax takes the top capital gains rate to 23.8 percent and top dividend rate to 43.4 percent. The tax will take a minimum of $123 billion out of taxpayer pockets over the next ten years.
    And, last but not least…

    5. The ObamaCare Medicare Payroll Tax increase
    This tax soaks employers to the tune of $86 billion over the next ten years.
    As you can understand, there is a reason why the authors of ObamaCare wrote the law in such a way that the most brutal tax increases take effect conveniently after the 2012 election. It’s the same reason President Obama, congressional Democrats, and the mainstream media conveniently neglect to mention these taxes and prefer that you simply “move on” after the Supreme Court ruling.

  5. One of the worst parts of this healthcare vehicle of control is the gov. owning your bank accounts. Some will go for the imbedded RFID/chip; others will have some other mechanism but all will be required to have that tracking personal ID where funds for payments will be automatically debited from you personal account/s for procedures given. And any type of rationing that will go into effect will another excuse for that personal ID. And if the dollar crashes, cash won’t be accepted. I’ll never understand why even now anyone would use a debit card. Heck….why allow someone to take your money before you even get home with purchased product to see if it even works. Not only could you have a dud but you’ve already paid for the dud!!

  8. The Drone Zone

    If the American people could know the type of program our U.S. Air Force is involved in, there would be great astonishment.

    How about a pilot who sat in a New Mexico control station thousands of miles away from a battlefield, and flew a U.A.V. (unmanned aerial vehicle) over Afghanistan in the morning, ate lunch, then fought the Iraq war in the afternoon and drove home in time for dinner?

    Today many of our Air Force pilots seldom get off the ground, because they are enrolled in the drone program; they often use civilian cars to practice their skills.

    The drone programs are a very secret op of our country. The publicly acknowledged one is run by the Pentagon, but there are two classified programs run by the CIA and the military’s Joint Special Operations Command, which has separate lists of targeted people for killing.

  13. Libor Rate-Fixing Scandal Spotlight Now Shining On … Citigroup And JPMorgan

    Date: Sunday, 8-Jul-2012 01:03:24

    NEW YORK — The harsh light of the Libor rate-fixing scandal has crossed the Atlantic, with both Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase saying regulators and investigators have requested information from them in a so-far preliminary probe of the case.

    Share prices for both — as well as Bank of America, which has not said if it was asked for information — have fallen sharply this week amid worries they could be in line for the type of heavy fines laid on Britain’s Barclays Bank, at the center of the scandal.

    Barclays has been fined $452 million (360 million euros) by British and US regulators for attempted manipulation of the markets for Libor and Eurobor benchmark interest rates between 2005 and 2009.

    Three top Barclays executives have resigned and on Friday Britain’s Serious Fraud Office said it would formally investigate the case, which has dented London’s reputation as a top financial center.

    But speculation runs to other banks because the Libor rate is set based on information from 16 international banks, and many think that manipulating it would take more than one bank.

    The issue affects not just banks but commercial and retail borrowers around the world — in the United States, the payments of a floating rate home mortgage loan are often tied to the Libor base rate.

    Citi, JPMorgan and Bank of America are three of the 16 banks that fix the rate, as an average of what they say they pay for funds in London’s interbank market.

    All three have declined to comment on the scandal.

    But JPMorgan and Citi have said that they had received requests for information from regulators and were cooperating.

    Citigroup noted in its reports that the Japanese Financial Services Agency, among several regulators involved in the cross-border investigations, had taken administrative action against its Citigroup Global Markets Japan unit over “certain communications” made by two CGMJ traders about Libor and the Euroyen Tokyo interbank rate, or Tibor.

    The unit was given a two-week suspension from trading in yen-linked derivatives in January.

    JFSA also took administrative action against Citibank Japan in part related to the handling of the communications made by the CGMJ traders.

    “The inquiries by government agencies into various interbank offered rates are ongoing,” the bank said in a report to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Citigroup and JPMorgan also acknowledged private civil and class-action lawsuits filed against the Libor-setting banks beginning in April over the issue.

    The suits have been assembled together into one action proceeding in the New York federal district court.

    Even if there is not yet any formal investigation of the US banks over the Libor rate manipulation, their shares have already taken falls over worries they could be involved.

    JPMorgan shares were off 5.1 percent for the week in afternoon trade Friday; Citi shares were down 4.4 percent and Bank of America 6.5 percent.

  14. Industry Veteran Closely Involved in the Libor Process Says that the Rate Has Been Manipulated for 15 Years

    We’ve previously noted that Libor manipulation has been going on since at least 2005 … and continued long after the manipulation was first reported.

    The Financial Times started reporting on the manipulation in 2007, and the Wall Street Journal in 2008 (see this, this, this, this and this).

    But as the Economist reports today, the manipulation probably goes back a lot further:

    The FSA has identified price-rigging dating back to 2005, yet some current and former traders say that problems go back much further than that. “Fifteen years ago the word was that LIBOR was being rigged,” says one industry veteran closely involved in the LIBOR process. “It was one of those well kept secrets, but the regulator was asleep, the Bank of England didn’t care and…[the banks participating were] happy with the reference prices.” Says another: “Going back to the late 1980s, when I was a trader, you saw some pretty odd fixings…With traders, if you don’t actually nail it down, they’ll steal it.”

    Given that homeowners, students, credit card holders, and other borrowers pay more when rates are higher, the banks appear to have fleeced consumers for 10 years during the entire bull run leading up to the financial crisis.

    We predict that lawyers can prevail in huge class action lawsuits based on that theory alone.

    As Yves Smith writes:

    I expect the firms involved to face a locust swarm of litigation. Lawyers may accomplish what regulators and politicians refused to do: strip the banks of ill gotten gains and bring their preening CEOs and “producers” down a few notches. A day of reckoning may finally be coming.

  15. Derivatives Domino Chain Exploding?? IT “ATM Bank Glitch” Has Spread to Gemany’s Largest Bank
    Date: Sunday, 8-Jul-2012 00:58:29

    The IT ‘glitch’ that has entirely shut down RBS’ NatWest Bank and halted ATM transactions at Russia’s largest bank Sberbank, has now spread to Germany’s largest bank, Deutsche Postbank.
    Deutsche Postbank Friday reported its own IT glitch that has completely paralyzed its ATM’s nationwide.
    While this entire string of 21st Century Bank Holidays has received zero MSM coverage, it is appearing more and more likely that the derivatives domino chain known as insolvency has been triggered.

    Due to technical maintenance work, with the following restriction on the supply of cash would be raised:

    Withdrawals and deposits with the postal savings bank cards are expected on Sunday, 07/08/2012 from 00:00 to 06:00 clock in not at home and abroad possible.

    Important:
    The supply of cash in the mail Bankcard at the ATM is not affected.
    We ask our customers for their understanding.

    And From Google Translate:
    A line problem, Deutsche Telekom has paralyzed the postal bank ATMs nationwide. The problem has occurred early Friday morning and would last for a Postbank spokesman said tonight.
    Technicians were trying to fix the problem. There was hope that the devices could be in the course of Saturday returned to service. Customers could, however, the machines in the financial centers, post offices, the use of cash to the Group and Shell gas stations.
    The problems of the post-bank customers at ATMs are thus apparently not directly related to the introduction of new technology in the retail business of the parent company, German bank. Starting this week, where more than five million savings accounts run on the new platform “Magellan” together.
    The aim of the change was to simplify many steps in the banking business and to accelerate Germany’s largest bank had declared major step. The platform is the core of the integration of Postbank in the group. By 2015, all accounts and business processes to be migrated to the new system. Then it will use 24 million residential and business customers.
    The German bank put around one billion euros in the construction of “Magellan”. Already this year, the Institute promises of simplification and standardization of IT processes and management savings of 200 million €.

  17. Any ideas why, Huckabee missed deployment for Terry Lakin, last night on his show. Had, no TV here last night. Huckabee’s feedback page has no mention of his being a guest on the show this morning.

  18. James……………
    I too expected Lakin to be on the Huckabee show. Otherwise I wouldn’t have even tuned in. You are right there is NO EXPLANATION ANYWHERE. Do you suppose that a SUPERIOR FORCE interceded?

  19. James…………..
    I belong to a Veteran’s organisation who has been making repeated efforts via JAG to pursue the expungement of the entire Lakin trial,conviction,and penalty from the mitilitary archives. They are also seeking the REINSTATEMENT of all BENEFITS and retirement earnings which Lakin would have been receiving. It was an ILLEGAL and otherwise KANGAROO TRIAL. Every COMMISSIONED OFFICER SWEARS ALLEGIANCE TO the CONSTITUTION, and swears to uphold the Constitution. That said Lakin was completely justified in questioning the legality of the authority who ordered his deployment. In fact, as a commissioned officer he is REQUIRED to do exactly that, whenever there is substantial suspicion that certain orders are NOT LEGALLY VALID. I for one am 100% behind our organisation, and we ALL have sworn to pursue the issue until the entire matter is completely expunged from the US Army archives, and Lakin is COMPLETELY exonerated of ALL CHARGES. This might take a very long time, but we are all prepared to pursue it NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES, NOR DO WE GIVE A DAMN WHO IS subsequently charged with the perpetration of the illegal general courts martial. In fact this is our pursuit as well. We will NOT REST until every one of the BASTARDS are brought to justice,including the CHILD JUDGE…..MMMMMSSSSS. LIND. She voluntarily chose to obey illegal orders for her to sit as judge, but she could have refused on the same grounds as did Lakin, but she didn’t. This was a criminal act on her part and she IS going to answer for it, just as all the rest of the perpetrators will be held to account. They may attempt to twist the laws,and otherwise INTERPRET the laws but NONE OF THE PERPTERATORS will be successful. We have sworn to pursue this matter to fruition,and we WILL do so.

  20. ……….I should also add that we are planning to investigate MMMMSSSS. Nishimura who sat at an important trial in Hawaii. She was a puppet, and in supporting an ILLEGAL POTUS she is an ACCESSORY to TREASON.

    oldsalt79,
    Lakin is a hot potato, and where he goes so goes the usurper and his ineligibility problems. FOX probably just put two and two together and figured out they were about to dis the usurper if they had Lakin on their show. It’s always the same politically correct crap, don’t rock the boat and cover for the usurper, or the dems may go to jail, and they will lose their competition at the other alphabet media propaganda centers.

  22. ………..now that there has been a couple of changes made at the top brass echelon, there might now be room for such a reversal. I for one will not stop supporting the reversal of the charges against Lakin,nor will I stop supporting the prosecution of each and every perpetrator who participated in the illegally executed General Courts Martial against him.

    FELONY: No Proof Barry Soetoro Ever Legally Changed His Name to Barack Hussein Obama – Details His Fake Life
    http://commieblaster.com/index.html

    Alias Barack Hussein Obama Exposed As A fraud

    The Power Hour radio show Joyce Riley, exposes the FACTS they have uncovered about Obama’s past that “may be surprising, even shocking, to some”. Obama is really Barry Soetoro. Barack Obama is a fabricated name. Riley reveals how Obama got a Connecticut Social Security number using the fabricated name Barack Hussein Obama.

    Saudi Arabia (the nationality of the majority of 9/11 hijackers and of bin Laden) donated $20 million to Harvard to buy an admission for hooked on drug Barry Soetoro under the fictitious name of Barack Hussein Obama. Even though Barry attended Harvard he has no bar license. Barry never filed a case or a motion. Barry rescinded his law license as to not be disbarred for fraud. No evidence exists that Barry Soetoro ever legally changed his name to the assumed fictitious name of Barack Hussein Obama.

    America’s Top Conservatives Politically Battle-Ready to Defeat Obama’s Tyranny
    Lloyd Marcus

    On July 4th, I co-hosted the Campaign To Defeat Obama Telethon. We raised funds to wage campaigns in four states which Obama won last election: Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, and Nevada. Our goal is to win those states, delivering 50 electoral votes to Mitt Romney. Patriots across America responded well, making the telethon a success.

    I thought it might be interesting to share a little behind-the-scenes info with you.
    After the broadcast, a few of our staff who were taking donations over the phones said they were shocked at the number of hate-filled, emotion-driven, idiotic calls from Obama supporters.
    Obama-brain-dead callers expressed outrage that we would dare oppose America’s first black president on Independence Day. A caller said, “I’m gonna find out where that traitorous n—–, Lloyd Marcus, lives and kick his a–! I will go to a Tea Party and punch him in the face!”

    Other Obama callers were equally vile, expressing their anger at Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., for her appearance on the telethon. An Obama caller absurdly claimed that Obama was responsible for Dr. King and me having the freedom to be on the telethon. Another Obama caller said that if Republicans had their way, African-Americans would still be slaves. Patriots, can you believe they believe such nonsense?

  29. I commented yesterday that:
    In 1967 through 1971, while our school children were reciting the Pledge of Allegiance every morning, Barack Hussein Obama was in Indonesia reciting the Islamic call to prayer in perfect Arabic. Patriotism was not instilled in his heart as a child like American children, but instead he was instructed on devotion to Allah.….

    Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

    Well let’s see…the black segment of American society is most certainly NOT being mentored to by the white segment, nor will the black segment even consider such a thing. This would tend to beg the question then of who, exactly, is mentoring to them, and what do they have to gain by it?
    There is a saying that states,”you tend to become like who you hang around with”. Theoretically then, if you hang with gangs, you absorb a gang mentality. If you hang with a militant black nationalist element likewise, you will be affected. If you happen to be running a predominantly black church, that teaches class hatred and militancy against a predominantly white country, you stand to make a LOT of money…Likewise, if you happen to be a black politician, and can convince this very same segment of the population that these things are so, you also, by exploitation of a lie, will get filthy rich and stay that way a long time.
    What then, happens to that exploited segment of the population in the long run? They keep on supporting those that are exploiting them, and by so doing, continue to relegate themselves to the fate of high unemployment and essentially lower class status as, because of this exploitation which promotes this militancy, they are no longer trusted by their white contemporaries. They think that their plight is caused by the white segment, and, because that thought is reinforced by their mentors, they continue this viscious cycle, further alienating themselves from the equal footing they desire. This is not really even a black issue when one considers the source of those who are supporting the current socialist bent in this country today.
    This is the long way of saying that, it is not really that surprising that these obots think the way they do.

    provocative posts this morning…
    Just thinking about within what framework our Constitution was conceived, that being a generally righteous-thinking Christian colonial assemblage. From a standpoint of religious thinking, there are no more devout Christians anywhere than you will find in the black American population. The problems arise when there is a mass falling away of their Christian demographic component. Couple that with what is happening within the white community and it is easy to see the problem we are dealing with. Thanks Hollywood!
    The bible tells us that the spirit of the law brings life, where the letter of the law brings death. The Constitution was built upon biblical concepts. Since it’s inception, it has been so legalistically interpreted and skewed, primarily to satisfy the egos of greedy men, as to severely stress it’s original intent as a document.
    If this Constitutional Republic is to be saved, it will necessarily require the full participation of both Christians and righteous thinking persons everywhere. Because it fits. I believe that Christians and the Constitution are, out of necessity, inseparably tied together and THAT will become our nation’s’ greatest strength.

    Is Your Computer Infected with DNSChanger Malware?

    Approximately 64,000 Americans could lose Internet access on Monday thanks to a criminal organization that infected millions of computers around the world with malware called DNSChanger. This malware was used to direct unsuspecting users to rogue servers controlled by the cyber thieves, where they manipulated users’ web browsing activity and used it for ad hijacking, allowing them to make millions of dollars in illicit fees.

    DNS (Domain Name System) is an Internet service that converts user-friendly domain names, such as http://www.fbi.gov, into numerical addresses that allow computers to talk to each other. Without DNS and the DNS servers operated by Internet service providers, computer users would not be able to browse websites, send e-mail, or connect to any Internet services.

    After announcing criminal indictments and seizing the rogue servers last November, the FBI obtained a court order and worked with a non-profit to set up temporary clean DNS servers for victims affected by the DNSChanger malware. But, says Supervisory Special Agent Thomas Grasso of our Cyber Division, “On July 9, we’re going to be turning off those servers. We’ve been using the last eight months to go out and clean up the infected computers, but we don’t have everybody.” Grasso says he hopes that people “follow our recommendations to: one, determine if they’re affected by this; and then two, fix the problem.” For more information, visit the links below or http://www.dcwg.org.

    I ‘ve been thinking the same thing Jonah. We’ve been directed to an FBI sight to see if we are infected. Does anyone here actually trust the government? When we go there, will we be infected by something far worse? Unless someone changes my mind with some very persuasive arguments between now and midnight, I will simply take my chances.

    How come we can’t go to a more neatral sight (not govt. sponsored) to see if we are infected?

  40. We all know this stuff but when anyone tries to get any of the agencies involved to fork over the truth they hit up against a brick wall. I think folks should have made a bigger deal out of the ONLY official form that somehow didn’t get scrubbed at the time it was discovered….the Indonesian school entry form with the listed Indonesian citizenship, other name, religion/muslim, and the adoption. It’s this info that points to his non-U.S. citizenship currently. Force Soetoro’s atty to show any naturalization forms SINCE the time of the info on this school form.

    **************************************
    What you are saying is actually more than my sincerest hope, in that the religious community is already established, cohesive and singular in purpose. They are a truly powerful political force if need be, which has been brought to light by the fact the left has been so dogged in their pursuit of them. It almost goes without thinking, that whatever the left doesn’t want the most, is that which they feel the most threatened by. bo himself has made more than a passing comment concerning God and guns…well, I think it is safe to say that we all know beyond a shadow of a doubt which way NRA members will be voting this next election…
    My point is that, true Christians (meaning Christ-like), will automatically embrace other Christians regardless of color, and their beliefs, and their tenets. To my knowledge, there was never a black Christ and a white Christ.

    The religious right, I believe, can indeed move in lockstep this election. Who could possibly benefit more? This is for them, and that should go without saying. The only problem I see is that they are only a segment of interested parties, therefore, they absolutely must be of like mind.

    Unemployment Rate Dropped In Every State That Elected A Republican Gov. In 2010

    In 2010, influenced by the Tea Party and its focus on fiscal issues, 17 states elected Republican governors. And, according to an Examiner.com analysis, every one of those states saw a drop in their unemployment rates since January of 2011. Furthermore, the average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 1.35%, compared to the national decline of .9%, which means, according to the analysis, that the job market in these Republican states is improving 50% faster than the national rate.

Personally, Huckabee turns my gut. Very seldom do I listen to him and I’ve never watched his show. So with the TV signal gone, it’s all just as well. Though I read he had Allen West on I’m still neither here or there with him, for this and that. I can’t seem to get the comment box to accept a link without always the intended page opening. I’d just read an article about the mosque slum-lord muslim on Atlas Shrugs. Some good news for the victims of 9/11. He’s been ordered to pay Con Edison 1.7 million for rent he owes on the building he intended to be a tribute to the muslim hijackers, and sort.

    “For 46 years, I taught political history, diplomatic history and one of the pioneering courses on presidential history, and every future politician of note who went through Columbia in those years took one or more of my classes – every one, that is, except Barack Obama.”

At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, 20th reunion, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! Who was he, and five years ago, nobody even knew who he was.

    As a veteran myself I am really steamed by what was done to Lakin. I personally have pledged to pursue the exoneration of this fine and upstanding officer no matter HOW LONG IT TAKES to achieve it. Further I have pledged to help with the CONTINUING investigation in any way I can. I have certain physical infirmities which prevents me from actively participating in the ONGOING investigation, but the infirmities have not yet invaded my mind. I know how to use my computer and I try to do as much special research as I can. Our group has so far amassed thousands of pages of documents which are being certified for accuracy. There is not a day that passes that I am not doing special research part of the day. Sometimes it is successful,and sometimes I am no successful. As was the case with the year and a half which I spent assisting in the Superior Court Documents search for a copy of a Petition for Name Change filed by Barry Soetoro. We went into ALL of the Superior Courts in the US, Hawaii,and Alaska. As you might already know a Petition for name change if granted legally becomes PUBLIC INFORMATION,and is accessable by literally anyone simply for the asking. We did carry it a bit further though by also searching all of the Superior Court databases, in the US. The results ARE that there has NEVER BEEN A PETITION FOR NAME CHANGE LEGALLY FILED ANYWHERE ON THE US MAINLAND OR IN HAWAII, OR ANYWHERE ELSE. The search was conducted using the Barry Soetoro name,and was searched for the interim period from 1980-2000. Had the Petition been legally filed we would have found the exact date,geographic location,and the Superior Court in which it was adjudicated. I am confident that there was NEVER a LEGAL name change adjudicated for Barry Soetoro, and as such he is still legally Barry Soetoro. Therefore he is NOT legally Barack H.Obama,nor is he legally the POTUS. Just simple reasoning,be that as it may!

  50. James……………
    We long ago supplied our findings to Globe Publishing for FREE. So far they have chosen NOT to use the information…..but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they WON’T. I believe that they may have commissioned the same exact search for their own CONFIRMATION. We also supplied all of our material to Arpiao,as well as all of our copies of court documents. So we have taken steps to make everything PUBLIC, and I am praying that both Arpiao and Globe publish every word of all of the pages which we supplied to them, so that the otherwise uninformed public will be finally INFORMED!

  51. I also took the precaution of making special note of the public records sequence in the event that the WH SLIME try to make certain changes in the records. They will be too late, and it will show like a smashed thumb in the court records.

  52. If the total number of words on any sequential document is changed by somebody tampering with the text we will see it immediately, simply because we already have the documents in sequence, and the number of words on each already recorded and certified. Should anybody attempt to delete, or otherwise wordsmith any of the existing court documents we will see it immediately when compared.

    Soros Promotes UN Control Over Gun Ownership

    http://www.infowars.com/soros-promotes-un-control-over-gun-ownership/

    In order to avoid being labeled a “human rights abuser,” the United States (along with all member states) is ordered by the UN to comply with the ATT. To compel this compliance, the ATT empowers the UN to force Congress to:

    • Enact internationally agreed licensing requirements for Americans

    • Confiscate and destroy unauthorized firearms of Americans while allowing the U.S. government to keep theirs

    • Ban the trade, sale, and private ownership of semi-automatic guns

    • Create and mandate an international registry to organize an encompassing gun confiscation in America

    snip….

    Sadly, officials of our own federal government, including President Obama, are pushing Congress to sign off on this treaty.

    Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that the Obama administration is working with the UN to lean on Congress to consent to the ATT.

    Clinton has pushed the treaty as an “opportunity to promote the same high standards for the entire international community that the United States and other responsible arms exporters already have in place to ensure that weaponry is transferred for legitimate purposes.”

    Great to see your few comments.

    Are you, or have you been affected by the fires out there?

    All,

    Can someone explain to me where these “right wing religious” folks are? Seems to me that being religious isn’t right or left, it’s MORAL and JUST. And why don’t we ever hear Jackson or Sharpton (both are pastors or reverends aren’t they?, yes with a small “p” and/or “r”, because they do not deserve my respect) LABLED with the “left wing religious” moniker?

    Just seems fair to me that if someone who wants to teach morals and the Good Book is labled “right wing”, then those who condone promiscuity and other IMmoral behavior should be labled as “left wing”.

    It also seems to me that if your don’t teach BOTH sides of the story of creation/evolution, then we are doing our young a DISservice. The only way to LEARN is to be given the WHOLE story. When only one side is given as FACT, then it becomes INDOCTRINATION, there’s just no two ways about it.

    And this is coming from an AGNOSTIC, who has looked at both sides of the issue, and believe that anyone who dismisses the existence of a “higher being”, is living with their head in the sand.

    ===============================

    People are getting paid to post here? Awwwww! If I’d known that I would have chimed in more often instead of just reading the comments.

    oldsalt, you comment often and always have a lot to say. And Starla too. You two must be making a lotta money here!

  66. Good Morning CW et. al.!

    Good morning Zach, et al.

  68. Jonah,
    I haven’t seen my check yet, but I think my taxes are going up again. The rest of the country can say the same. I haven’t been paid for posting here either. I guess talking about the current disaster is ‘shilling’ for republicans, not trying to wake up good Patriots to care about their country.

    JS,
    See you are following the “light.” Many signs as to some truth to it… crazy as it all seems. Afraid everyone at this paid shill site is ignoring your posts… quite the deep rabbit hole this journey has been. Ignore this place, find peace with yourself… this site will continue chumming the water for the republicans and leading the sheep to war in the middle east. It was never meant for truth… it is a circle of propoganda and an extention of the msm. You can’t wake them JS, for they are not sleeping… shills never rest, never sleep, just change shifts. Peace out friend.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    WOW Prairie…..I haven’t seen one of your posts here in a long while….yeah I hear you girl…….many brain dead here still……I don’t give up easily as you can see….even though many of my comments never see the light of day thanks to CW putting them all in moderation….this one will most likely stay there too! I hope all is well in your neck of the woods and I miss some of that GREAT poetry you used to write…..are you still writing it? Peace and LOVE to you and yours! LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN 🙂

  71. Hey folks! Must have been a few more people than just myself who sent the link to Drudge since it’s now at the top of his middle column for the world to see:

    OBAMA’S ‘MISSING YEAR’ AT COLUMBIA FOUND?

    ‘COMPUTER ERROR’…

    Sorry. I hit post before I was.done. I was saying that Putin is not somebody who I would promote as an enlightened leader. He kills his political enemies, squashes protests and jails people who disagree with him. I shill for no one, but I can’t let some of these idiotic posts slide.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Well that’s what the MEDIA WHORES tell you anyway…..try thinking for yourself PACMAN…..you and several others here are a bunch of BRAINWASHED ZOMBIES…….I’m sure this comment won’t see the light of day either…..it is amazing how CW allows others to smear me yet he continues to put nearly every comment I make to defend myself in moderation……Prairie is right about you CW……. you and your blog sheep are just an extension of the MSM BULLCRAP!! I would think people would be fed up by now with discussing the same old BO not eligible crapolla everyday of the week…..NO WONDER YOU DON’T have a clue what is really going on!! You all are part of the problem and why our country is in such dire straits today……LET THE TRUTH FLOW for a change instead of stifling it!

  73. WOW…..CW grew some balls! NOW take off the moderation and let my comments flow like you do with the others here!

  74. JS. Have you considered the fact that you are now promoting Vladamir Putin? You may want to analyse where you get your information.

  75. The ALLEGED people who refer to others as shills etc, accomplish NOTHING,and in the process confirm their OWN STUPIDITY for the WORLD to READ. I always scroll past such CHILDISH PLAY GROUND PRODIGIES. I would be remiss if I didn’t advise everybody else to do the same.

  76. BTW…………I did not experience any connectitity problems this morning. I have been online since a few minutes before 7:00 AM. What happened to the FBI SHUTDOWN of all IP services? As I stated yesterday people who post this sort of information only fire torpedos at themselves. There are people on the internet who do in fact have the brainpower,and experience to know the truth as to what is going on with the various IP services. Yes there are those who attempt to operate ROGUE servers etc, but their operations are soon discovered and are soon thereafter electronically blocked by the IP services which they are trying to invade. These are the people who are trying 24 hours a day to install malware (KEYLOGGERS) in everybody’s computers. Yes they are difficult to detect,and they are also difficult to get rid of. Next to IMPOSSIBLE! But that is not to say that you can’t circumvent them. There are certain keyboards being developed that use a filtered RF connection to the pc and the keystrokes are filtered out, but the PULSE remains and is used. If these are successful then the hackers will have to find some new playthings, because their “keylogger” malware will become a useless entity. By utilising varying RF frequencies the keyloggers cannot operate because the malware has no provisions to detect the RF frequency that a specific victim keyboard is operating at. That is what is nice about RADIO FREQUENCY,it can be produced at thousands of different frequencies.

  77. Old Salt,
    With a few (very few) here, up is down and down is up. Truth is passe and error is in vogue. Sad.

  78. …………and like the doorlocks on your car, your tv remote,or your garage door remote,they all have one thing in common,they operate by emitting a RF SIGNAL at a SPECIFIC FREQUENCY which the receptors are tuned to. Otherwise you would not be able to get into your car,or garage,nor would you be able to activate your TV, etc.

    BYE BYE for NOW!

    Wonderful observation.

    The paid shills are outing themselves, in their desperation to change the subject.

    David Maraniss and Obama’s Communist Mentor
    By Paul Kengor

    It’s interesting that not only does Barack Obama need continued vetting, but so do his biographers. The culprit is the same: the liberal bias that dutifully protects Obama like white knights guarding the king’s castle, shamelessly tossing journalistic objectivity right out the window. As Sean Hannity likes to say, when it comes to Obama’s background, it has fallen to us conservatives to do the job that the mainstream “Obama-mania media” plainly refuses to do.

    The most recent Obama biography getting a vetting by conservatives is David Maraniss’ Barack Obama, the Story. Here at American Thinker, Jack Cashill has intrepidly taken up the charge, thereby provoking the wrath of the nation’s “journalists” for daring to flag the contradictions in their reporting. In his most recent post, Cashill looked at several Maraniss passages related to Obama’s mentor, Frank Marshall Davis.

    there are a number of argument styles of which the “ad hominem” (personal attack) is one. Ad hominem attacks the person, or takes a personal tone , as opposed to using reason or logic. It is priimarily a distraction from the issue as opposed to having any factual basis.
    It is commonly used by lawyers, in courtrooms, when they have no case.
    Ad Hominem can be either “direct” against another person or, passively, by using inference, as I have seen here many times. Inference is even more destructive in that it can easily be misconstrued as to it’s intent, thereby landing on an innocent party thus allowing them to think that it is them who is under attack.
    There are many forms of argument of which this is only one. Beware also of misinformation, as I’m certain you all are.
    Enough of the inflamatory language and name calling…it accomplishes nothing aside from calling attention to your own ignorance.

  82. Formal complaint seeks disbarment of Eric Holder in DC

    Attorney General Eric Holder could lose his license to practice law in the District of Columbia, or face some other penalty from the D.C. Bar, now that he has been found in criminal and civil contempt of Congress.

    Last week, the bloggers who first exposed Operation Fast and Furious, Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea, filed a formal complaint with the Washington, D.C. Office of Bar Counsel alleging that Holder committed “professional misconduct” during the congressional investigation into the scandal.

    Because Holder was found in contempt of Congress for his “refusal to comply with a subpoena duly issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform,” Vanderboegh and Codrea contend, “[i]t would appear that several, if not all of these rules [the D.C. Bar’s rules of professional conduct], have been violated.”

    snip….

    Vanderboegh and Codrea each published the complaint they jointly registered on their individual blogs “[b]ecause of the serious political ramifications involved, and because some on the Board may be sympathetic to AG Holder’s positions and hostile to those of the House contempt charges, and in order to ensure that this complaint receives proper attention and is not ignored through deliberate indifference.”

    U.N. Stealth Treaty to Gut Our Second Amendment?

    © Miri WTPOTUS July 9, 2012

    If Operation Fast and Furious (OFF) has taught us anything, it’s that the progressives in this country (especially Barack Hussein Obama II, Hillary Clinton, and Eric Holder) will go to great lengths to invent “facts” to use to continue to chip away at our Second Amendment rights. Many have credibly argued that OFF was designed not to stop guns from flowing across the border to Mexican drug cartels, but rather to inflate the numbers and “prove” by lying statistics that over 90% of the guns recovered in Mexico were trafficked illegally from the United States. The goal was to gin up an astroturfed groundswell of bogus public opinion in favor of more government control over guns. Continue reading →

    VOTE FOR THE AMERICAN…
    http://giveusliberty1776.blogspot.com/

  85. bob strauss's avatar bob strauss

    Mad oath taker here.
    ******************************
    Seeing the GOP ignore the biggest Constitutional crisis in this nation’s history over the past 4 years has taken away every shred of motivation I have to even vote anymore, at least on the national level. I deployed while in the Army and have lost a handful of friends fulfilling the very same Oath that every one of these traitors took upon assuming public office. Every single Republican in Congress and in upper level state office are nothing less than traitors. And that includes veterans in Congress such as Allen West (who I once thought would make an excellent President). He is a traitor to the United States Constitution, period. Both Allen and I have served in the Army, deployed and lost friends overseas, but the difference between he and I is that there is no way in heck that I would have ignored this issue. The powers that be would have had to put bullet in my head to silence me because I actually still honor the sacrifice my friends made. The Oath I took in the Army does not expire.

    For the first time since I was able to vote 18 years ago, I will not be voting for President, at least not for the Republican Mitt Romney. I will never give a cent of my hard earned money to another Republican that has not had the guts to attack this issue. I truly believe that if the millions of pro-Article II citizens had stated this a couple years ago, we may have seen some action. These people have no loyalty to this nation, only power and money. While I have no doubt Romney would be better and may even prolong the eventual collapse, I’m beyond the point of caring who sits in the Oval Office. In my opinion, as bad as this may sound, maybe people will wake up once the crap hits the fan and we can fight another Revolutionary War and get it over with. I encourage everybody to write their state GOP leaders and state this.

    And Ken Bennett (you are not worthy of “Mr.” or “Secretary of State”), if you by some chance happen to read this: I would be so ashamed if I was your child. We know Obama is an enemy of our Constitution and he is a criminal; we know every decision he makes is pointed towards our destruction. It is you, every GOP governor, every GOP Congressman, and every state Director of Elections/Secretary of State that is allowing him to wreak havoc on this nation. Every decision he makes is not on him, I don’t blame him anymore, it is on you. You are the one that is intentionally destroying the futures of your children and grandchildren. It is you who is spitting on the graves of every man or woman that spilled blood fulfilling their Oath to support and defend the Constitution. You are a gutless, traitorous coward. The amount of hate that you have shown towards your children as to allow this guy in the Oval Office( who you know is ineligible) to destroy their chance of having the same freedoms and liberties we had is unconscionable. You are a gutless, traitorous coward; you will have blood on your hands when this nation falls into chaos. By the way, please do not ever wear any military related piece of clothing like the USS Arizona hat in the picture, you are not worthy to even speak of anything that involves sacrifice, selflessness, and honor.

  86. Coldwarvet2. I hear you and will take it under advisement. I just don’t think Putin is a great guy as was inferred. I wonder where these folks are coming from when they accuse many of us of being stupid for not agreeing with their jumbled insanity that seems to throw everything they hear up against the wall. Putin is not a man of the people. He is the epitome of a strong man.dictator.

  88. CONSCIENCE CLAUSE

    PROTECTING THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE

    Conscience Cause – Protecting The Civil Rights Of Conscience

    * Petition *

    “Our petition calls on Congress to take action against HHS’ employer mandate.”

    * Petition Text: *

    “Dear Speaker Boehner & Leader Reid,

    The First Amendment to our Constitution begins “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” This explicit protection of rights of conscience is as fundamental to us as our unalienable Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

    “A rule enacted by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) forces individual and institutional employers to purchase health insurance for employees which provides free abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization procedures and contraceptive medications. Acknowledging that this mandate burdens the free exercise of religion of many Americans, the rule contains a limited accommodation for “houses of worship” but which is defined so narrowly as to exclude many employers with religious or moral objections, including religious hospitals, schools and charities.

    Because the rule compels such employers (whether they be individuals, institutions or corporations) to violate deeply-held tenets of faith and conscience, it is in direct violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. We fervently petition Congress to act immediately to repeal or amend this rule to protect the free exercise of religion and the rights of conscience of all Americans.

    As signers of this petition, we do not represent any particular religious faith or political party. We are people of many faiths, and some of no particular faith. We have no uniform view on contraception. We are, however, unified as Americans in our support of the primacy of rights of religion and conscience. We affix our names here because we believe the mandate represents an unprecedented and unnecessary intrusion into the civic and economic life of people of faith and conscience and sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans.

    We respectfully request the United States House of Representatives to take immediate action to preserve “rights of conscience against the enterprises of civil authority.” After such a protection passes the U.S. House, we respectfully request its approval by the United States Senate.”

    ~ Sign the Petition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~

    http://consciencecause.com

    “The First Amendment to our Constitution begins “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Reducing opposition to the so called contraception mandate to a discussion on the cost of birth control is akin to believing a block of ice floating in the ocean is of no consequence to passing ships.

    This rule represents not the tip of the iceberg but rather, a lethal mass hidden, in this case, under reams of legislative legalese and bureaucratic red tape.

    Requiring religious institutions to act against their faith or face punitive penalties is unconstitutional. Denying a centuries-old definition of what is a religious institution in service to the whims of a temporary administration is unconscionable.”

    http://consciencecause.com/learn

    ====================

    What is the HHS mandate?

    “The mandate of the Department of Health and Human Services has received wide attention and has been met with vigorous and united opposition from people of all faiths. In an unprecedented way, the federal government will both force religious institutions to facilitate and fund a product contrary to their own moral teaching and purport to define which religious institutions are “religious enough” to merit protection of their religious liberty. These features of the “preventive services” mandate amount to an unjust law.”

    ====================

    About Conscience Cause

    “Conscience Cause is a non-profit, non-partisan, public policy advocacy organization comprised of leaders from various faiths united to secure and preserve our constitutional rights of conscience. We will act by petitioning the federal legislature to bar any regulation that would compel religious institutions, as well as individuals and corporations, to violate the tenets of their faith or be subject to penalty of law.”

  90. “PRIEBUS: DEMOCRATS ON ‘MARS,’ ‘FANTASY LAND’

    By MJ LEE
    7/8/12 10:00 AM EDT

    “Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, appearing on “Fox News Sunday” after Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz tried to put a positive spin on Friday’s disappointing jobs numbers, said the congresswoman must be “on Mars.”

    “I don’t know if she is on vacation in New Hampshire or on Mars. I can’t figure it out, but the fact of the matter is, people are not better off today than they were three or four years ago, and the statistics bear it out,” Preibus said.

    “The fact of the matter is, is that there are almost half a million more people unemployed today than four years ago and if Debbie and pResident Obama were good on their promises on the stimulus — remember, they said if we passed the trillion dollar stimulus we’d have 5.5 percent unemployment today — what that means, if they kept promises, there would be EIGHT-AND-HALF MILLION MORE PEOPLE EMPLOYED TODAY THAN FOUR YEARS AGO.”

    Priebus went on to accuse Democrats of “living in fantasy land” as he made a pitch for Mitt Romney, the presumed Republican presidential nominee.

    “This pResident can’t fulfill a promise. They’re living in fantasy land, and you know what? We’re going put this dream to an end of theirs in November and save America, fire Barack Obama and hire Mitt Romney,” Priebus said. “That’s the best stimulus plan for this country right now.”
