One of our favorite conservatives, Bill Whittle, is back again with his takes on Obama and his Chicago-style politics, some of the gangsters in his administration and his campaign team, and a couple of the “usual progressive suspects.”
I could not have said it better myself... I will say, however, mine would have included a lot more "colorful" language.
House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy(CA-22) today released "Is the President Listening? Linda's Story," a new video in which Linda Lizanich, an accountant at Willoughby, OH based Kennedy Group, breaks down how President Obama's small businesses tax hike will hurt middle class employees working at small businesses.

“… The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. …”
Surely if we could readily find information about this terror organization with roots dating back to WWII and ties to Hitler’s Third Reich, couldn’t the White House?
This is the motto of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded in Egypt as a vehicle to establish a worldwide Islamic empire governed by shariah law:
"God is our Goal. The Prophet is our leader. The Quran is our constitution. Jihad is our way. Death in the service of God is the loftiest of our wishes. God is great, God is great.”
"Our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays," he said. Add that to the rest of the lies this failure has spewed out in the past five years, including the 2008 campaign.
Major Ben Richards can't speak for every veteran. He does, however, have a moving story to tell about his soldiers. This excerpt from the forthcoming film “Veteran Nation,” produced by Coldwater Media, reminds us of the honor and sacrifice of those who serve. The American soldiers you see in this video are not really in Iraq--or are they?
Does any reasonable person really believe Iraq and its corrupt government leaders are going to live happily ever after when we leave? I consider this a rehearsal for what will happen in Afghanistan when we leave. My generation has already seen this movie before. It was called “Vietnamization.” Americans killed: 58,220. What a waste. Just like Iraq and Afghanistan.
If you are considering Federal student loans to help put your son or daughter through college, you must watch this video and read the related reading to better prepare yourselves. The status quo will be seriously impacted based upon how the president and congress solve the quickly approaching, so-called "fiscal cliff."

This video purports to show first lady Michelle Obama whispering “All this for a damn flag?” in President Obama's ear during a flag folding ceremony on the anniversary of 9/11. We'll let you decide for yourselves.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen you “heard” correctly, that is what America’s first lady said according to an instructor at a School for the Deaf and Blind who watched the video. The video is shown at normal speed, 3/4 speed, and 1/2 speed with no banners obstructing her lips.
Today we begin a 10-part lecture series presented by Hillsdale College entitled “Constitution 201.”
Each lecture lasts approximately 40 minutes. Lectures and study materials will be made available to our readers. Today we present part 1 "The Founders’ Constitution and the Challenge of Progressivism."
We expect to present all 10 parts before Election Day, November 6.
Overview
The principles of the American Founding, embodied in the Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the Constitution, came under assault by Progressives of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Progressivism rejects the Founders’ ideas of natural rights, limited government, the separation of powers, representation, and federalism. Progressive government, exemplified by the modern administrative state, has fundamentally transformed key aspects of the American way of life.
Progressives believe that America needs to move beyond the principles of the Founding. Woodrow Wilson—who served as president of Princeton University, governor of New Jersey, and as America’s 28th president—was one of the earliest Progressive thinkers. His critique of the Founding—namely, his rejection of the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution’s system of the separation of powers—is one of the most articulate expressions of the Progressive movement’s core beliefs.
I have decided not to watch any of the Democrats' National Convention believing that I’ve heard it all before from Barrack Obama and his Liberal surrogates. This video proved me right.
At first blush, associating President Barack Obama with deficits of any sort seems like a complete non-story. After all, this is the president who has presided over four consecutive trillion-plus dollar deficits after pledging to slice that number in half by the end of this term. He's also the man whose unanimously rejected FY 2013 budget would literally never balance, generating additional deficits as far as the eye can see. Nevertheless, seeing red ink splattered on Obama's re-election campaign's balance sheet still feels strange. This group once boasted that it would raise a billion dollars for this cycle -- and despite Obama's recent implications to the contrary, the facts show that his operation widely outspent his opponent's in the last election. So what to make of this? >>Read full story

"There's no place like home, there's no place like home..."
The pace of job growth has slowed down dramatically in recent months. The economy added 80,000 jobs last month according to a report from the Labor Department. But even that fell short of expectations of 90,000 and was not enough to change the unemployment rate from 8.2%. By comparison, the economy added 275,000 in the first month of the year. The jobs gain for May, however, was also revised up to 77,000 from an initially reported 69,000. Read more>>
