| Election Postmortem: Some in the GOP have taken to trashing 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney for recent comments he made about his loss.(Snip) Using the divide-and-conquer tactics of Saul Alinsky, Obama successfully exploited age, income, class, race and ethnic divisions to the detriment of Republicans, while smearing Romney as an uncaring, rapacious Wall Street capitalist who murdered a steel worker´s wife. But sure, GOP, pile on Romney, who also remarked that Obama was "very generous" to African Americans, Hispanics and young voters. So why does this offend? It´s so obviously true it shouldn´t need defending.

Why else vote for Obama after the last 4 years? Romney ran a darned good campaign…great adds, great debate performances, great running mate, great message, and he worked his heart out. But besides trillions in “gifts” for votes to select groups, he was constantly pummeled with negative media coverage including conservative commentators (...anyone but Romney…not connecting…too vague…too much detail…and on and on every day) not to mention those clowns he had to deal with during the primary and then Gov Christy’s ridiculous performance. He couldn’t win. And what a loss for our country.

Romney told the truth. We can´t continue down the path of fiscal and monetary insanity. Democrats promised more goodies. They´re free, the rich will pay.

Mitt was of the old guard. But now the people have learned that they may vote themselves into the possession of free goodies. And so America enters into a third chapter in her history: The age of the free lunch, paid for by the alchemists at the Federal Reserve.

Romney was one hundred per cent correct. Too bad some in this party are okay with throwing Romney under the bus. Yes, Obama bought votes, what part of that do Jindal, Gingrich, Santorum , etc. not get.

Patriot Mantra for days ahead: Putting Family First and ‘First Family’ last
- Judi McLeod Monday, November 19, 2012
Upsetting Barack Obama’s little red wagon, impeding America’s race toward the abyss depends on seeing clearly through Obama’s masterful Marxist use of perception.
The Obama Regime successfully creates the public perception that its power is absolute; that the recent election awarded them majority rule; that there is no way on earth to stop Obama from making good on what he has said he is going to do.
Even with all the lies, astroturfing and sheer bravado perfecting perception, shattering its myth is possible because for all of its boasts, perception is 1% reality and 99% abstract.
Now that he’s got his second term, the perception works to keep American citizens in a Saul Alinsky-designed depression because so many of them have already fallen for the spin that America has been captured; that the entire American citizenry are now trapped like flies in a bottle which Obama has tightly capped.
Everyone positing that America is dead and that Americans are finished are doing precisely what Obama wants: spreading a message of hopelessness and despair.

#1 is right. If only the GOP had united in message and gone out there after Romney´s conference call and dared any media twit to disagree. (I didn´t think leaking Mitt´s call was a good move but he WAS right about the gifts.). Our side will not get anywhere until our candidate can teach, explain conservative principles with clarity.

The GOP´s been throwing Palin out and now Romney. I´m almost done with supporting "GOpigs at the trough" - RINO´s.
To Gov´s Christy, Jindal, Rep. Gingrich,and the rest of the vocal junkies of the Nattering-Nabob class,
From a quasi-quote of a really bad liberal today, Lee Iaccoca, "Lead, Follow, or Shut-up" and Regan´s Commandment:" Thou shall not speak against a fellow REPUBLICAN!!!"
Are we looking forward to 2014 or dreading the chance to get the truth out and win?

The time is NOW for the Tea Party to rise, put up candidates for the Senate in 2014 then put up candidates for both Houses and the Presidency in 2016.
The time to start is now but based on the whining and crying going on I have no faith that enough Patriots will rise to the occasion.
Oh yes, people get fired up but then they don´t show up to where they should be.
It is almost like the phrase I once heard. The reason people don´t make money is because they are too busy making a living. That also speaks to why we don´t have a positive government.

He offered the opportunity to maybe come off the welfare "handout" line and get a job and improve your life. Simple concept at work here. If you tell someone that you are going to give them things that will enable them to do nothing and have a HUD home, a food credit card and can walk into any emergency room in the U S for a cold, and get care...what would you do? You would vote for the giver of the gifts. About half of the population wants more than the minimum given by t he giver. They want to work up the ladder not set at the bottom looking up screaming at those going up accusing them of being rich. I have a home, food, a car and a job (for now). Those receivers of the gift say that makes me rich. No, I am not rich...I am one of the millions who work hard everyday so the great giver can take my money and throw it down the ladder to bribe those who refuse to climb, to accept crumbs, and vote so the great giver can keep them in crumbs. It is not about the aging, or children with handicap needs who no one minds working to help. It is about the 16 to 45 year olds who have babies to get more money, walk around with their gel nails, cell phones and attitudes who would rather take crumbs than get off their you know what and show up to work. Romney was not wrong in anting to help people come up...the problem?...people have to want to improve their lives...those that don´t, voted for the giver of the crumbs..

ARDMORE, Pa. — Phil Mickelson is in a familiar position once again at the U.S. Open — to either finally close out a win in a tournament he truly cherishes or to suffer yet another maddening close call. Mickelson, a four-time major champion but the only player to finish runner-up five times in the U.S. Open, shot even-par 70 Saturday in the third round of the U.S. Open at unyielding Merion Golf Club and has a one-shot lead heading into Sunday´s final round.

LOS ANGELES — A farewell note left behind by the Santa Monica gunman expressed remorse for the killing of his father and brother but provided no explanation for the rampage that left them and three others dead. Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said that the three- to four-page handwritten note was found on John Zawahri´s body (Snip)Zawahri apparently built his own .223-caliber assault rifle, using it to shoot his father and brother before he set fire to their family home, officials said earlier Thursday.

When President Obama makes his first extended trip to sub-Saharan Africa this month, the federal agencies charged with keeping him safe won’t be taking any chances. Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will be stationed offshore in case of an emergency. Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bulletproof glass to cover the windows of the hotels

It first begins with a peculiar, bitter smell.(Snip)Get sufficiently exposed, and you may faint or even die. These are the effects of pepper spray, the chemical that was used by the Turkish police against peaceful sit-in protesters who tried to protect one of Istanbul’s few remaining green spaces against a controversial reconstruction plan in Taksim Square on May 28. Undercover police then proceeded to set fire to the tents left behind by escaping protesters — with all their belongings in them — despite the protesters’ pleas. For many people, this was the last drop in the glass, which

member of a pro-Travyon Martin group was unmasked Wednesday as he tried to get on the Florida jury in George Zimmerman’s trial for shooting the unarmed teen. A white male potential juror identified on his Facebook page as Jerry Counelis gave long, rambling answers about his impartiality when asked basic questions by attorneys. Counelis, known as panelist E-7, said he was an unemployed painter and musician and had no problem being sequestered if chosen to serve on the jury.

Score one for pushy parents. The families of two children with cystic fibrosis who need new lungs but were ineligible for adult organs have successfully used the courts and public opinion to get their daughter and son on the adult waiting list, which is normally unavailable to kids under 12.(Snip)There are countless other conditions that land a person on a transplant list, and each organ has different criteria for who is first in line. “An important feature of the system by which the United States has decided to allocate organs is equity. Equity means different things for different organs,”

“Personal responsibility” is a theme frequently drawn upon by people addressing the social problems of the day, including problems that face black communities. (Snip) The bigger problem is that a message that exclusively focuses on personal responsibility without an accompanying clarion call for society itself to improve gives us only half of the answer. No one exemplifies this problem more than Bill Cosby, who recently dictated an editorial to the New York Post in which he said, “There is this situation where people tend to think that we are all victims. Victim meaning somebody else is doing

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life. The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution. As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.
