AFL-CIO Vote Slams Obamacare After Obama-supporting Unions Wanted All Americans To Have It. Why?
Duh! Obamacare Will Drive Up Costs For Their Paying Members. -Newsmax
Wake-Up - The Media Is Lying To You.
After 9/11: The Western World bows down to progressive multiculturalism and continues to deny radical Islam really does represent a large part of the general Muslim world. This is as 40% of free Muslims in America would rather live under Sharia Law while 12 Percent want Death for Blasphemers. 72% of American Muslims said 10/2012 they would vote for a "Christian" Obama? Someone is lying, and it's not Muslim voters. -CBN
'Either You Convert to Islam, Or You Will Be Beheaded' - Breitbart
"A resident of the town said the rebels shouted 'Allahu Akhbar' as they moved through the village, and proceeded to assault. 'They shot and killed people,' he said.
“I heard gunshots and then I saw three bodies lying in the middle of a street in the old quarters of the village. 'Where is President Obama to see what has befallen us?' Another witness stated, 'I saw the militants grabbing five villagers and threatening them and saying, ‘Either you convert to Islam, or you will be beheaded.'" . . . Read More

"The Anniversary of the Benghazi Attack of September 11, 2012." -Judicial Watch
"Judicial Watch promotes transparency, integrity and accountability in government, politics and the law. We carry out or mission through investigations, research, litigation and public education. From time to time we produce Special Reports on important public policy matters to illuminate the operations of government in a way that informs the public and holds our trusted public servants accountable.
We have prepared this updated Special Report on the first anniversary of the September 11, 2012 attacks on American personnel and facilities in Benghazi, Libya with the analysis and expertise of Judicial Watch investigators, as well as insightful security critique of Mr. Raymond Fournier, a recently retired Diplomatic Security Service Special Agent. Part One of this updated report contains Mr. Fournier’s analysis from January, and Part Two is new reporting – describing the Obama administration’s Benghazi stonewall. Judicial Watch is the only non-governmental organization in the country litigating in federal court to uncover the truth about what happened in Benghazi. Judicial Watch’s strong legal actions in federal court seek to compel accountability from the Obama administration.
Judicial Watch’s staff of investigators and researchers includes former intelligence officers, analysts, military officers, attorneys, and journalists. Judicial Watch has twenty-three (23) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and one (1) Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR) request pending with various Executive departments and agencies seeking all manner of records relating to the attack. We have filed four (4) lawsuits in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to compel the Obama administration to comply with the FOIA law and release the records we seek.
In the interim, we pursue additional avenues of investigation in an effort to provide the American people with complete, accurate, factual information concerning a deadly attack costing the lives of United States Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALS Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods." . . .

3. Little Rock School District . . .
. . . finally agrees that its teachers must wear underwear. -Dailycaller
"The school district in Little Rock, Ark. has announced plans for a dress code that will require teachers to wear underwear. Every single day. Female teachers will have to wear bras, too.
An Aug. 29 letter from the Little Rock School District’s Office of the Superintendent to all employees explains that the dress code will officially go into effect in the fall of 2014.
'Foundational garments shall be worn and not visible with respect to color, style, and/or fabric,' the letter reads. 'No see-through or sheer clothing shall be allowed, and no skin shall be visible between pants/trousers, skirts, and shirts/blouses at any time.'" . . . Read More

4. FOX News Continues Its Walk Faster To The Left
Shepard Smith promoted by Ailes to quarterbacking FOX news stories and which ones will take center stage. -New York Times
"The schedule shift will enable Fox News to add a planned opinion program in prime time headed by Megyn Kelly, while also taking steps to enhance Mr. Smith’s role as the network’s primary hard-news anchor.
The plan calls for Mr. Smith to interrupt any of the other Fox News programs for breaking news reports; it also means the program lineup in prime time will be able to accommodate four opinion-based hosts instead of the current three. Fox has yet to announce formally the full evening lineup, but the widespread speculation is that Ms. Kelly’s new show would appear at 9 p.m., with Sean Hannity’s program making way by moving to 7 p.m.
The official announcement of the new lineup is expected soon. No start date was announced for Mr. Smith’s new program, to be called “Shepard Smith Reporting,” partly because he will undergo surgery next week for a torn shoulder labrum.
Mr. Smith said the new overall format, which will have him available all day to break in with news, should help delineate even more clearly the wall between news and opinion shows — what he called “programming” — at the network." . . . Read More

On The Other Hand, In June 2011 Beck Is Canceled By FOX News - LATimes
Note: Beck was the only opinion personality on cable television to expose Obama's hiring of Van Jones, a known Communist chosen to run Obama's Green policies. Beck also exposed a former Weather Underground leader being involved in the writing of Obama's 2009 Stimulus Bill, which had tried to pass billions of tax-payer dollars to ACORN chapters to assist in voter fraud in coming elections. Van Jones went onto attack Beck's advertisers using the Color of Change organization, (estimated 175,000 members), which went onto actively and openly threaten corporations that supported Beck's Show with fascist boycotts.
While Beck reported to viewers the attacks against his FOX News show, Roger Ailes seemed to go out of his way to ignore them, allow them, and use them to take Beck off the air. As a side note, Beck's April 2011 numbers still beat FOX's FIVE April 2013 numbers. So Beck wasn't fired for viewers 24-48 not tuning into his show. - Webmaster

"Most voters still get their news from television and consider the news reported by the media generally trustworthy." - RasmussenReports
"Fifty-six percent (56%) of Likely U.S. Voters say they get most of their news from TV, including 32% who get it from cable news networks and 24% who get it from traditional network news. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that another 25% use the Internet as their main source of news, while only 10% still rely on print newspapers. Seven percent (7%) get most of their news from radio.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of all voters regard the news reported by the media as at least somewhat trustworthy, but that includes just six percent who think it is Very Trustworthy. Forty-two percent (42%) don’t trust the news media, with 12% who believe the news it reports is Not At All Trustworthy." . . . Read More

6. Former 'Satanic Drag Queen' Finds Love In Jesus
Sadly, It's exactly what one Might expect: Trace McNutt, former self-described 'Satanic Drag Queen,' will receive an award for courage at the first Ex-Gay Awareness dinner and reception in Washington, D.C. - ChristianPost
"A former self-described 'satanic drag queen,' who has accepted Jesus and found love in the church, will receive an award for courage at the first Ex-Gay Awareness dinner and reception that will be held later this month in Washington, D.C.
On Sept. 30, Voice of the Voiceless, a nonprofit organization that aims to defend the rights of former homosexuals, and individuals with unwanted same-sex attraction and their families, will present Trace McNutt with its first-ever courage award for former homosexuals.
During an interview with The Christian Post on Tuesday, McNutt described in detail the extremes he went to to find acceptance among his peers, his family.
Speaking candidly, McNutt described getting hit by bricks and two-by-fours as a child. In one particular altercation, he said that boys had urinated on the clothes he was wearing. The bullying, made worse by his parents' disapproval, drove him to seclude himself." . . . Read More
8. Obama IRS Scandal Will Go Down In Infamy
"In my experience, the term “BOLO” is a law enforcement term short for 'be on the lookout' for criminals and suspects on the run. But for the Obama IRS, BOLO meant, literally, 'be on the lookout' for citizen groups who might be opposed to the Obama agenda." -Judicial Watch
"Here are the facts as we know them today. First, we know that the 'independent' IRS purposely stonewalled the approval of non-profit applications from 'Tea Party' and other conservative groups that were seeking tax exempt status.
As reported by CNN:Among the criteria used by IRS officials to flag applications was a 'Be On the Look Out” list, or a BOLO, which was discontinued in 2012, according to the report. The criteria on the BOLO included:
• Whether 'Tea Party,' 'Patriots' or '9/12 Project' was referenced in the case file.
• Whether the issues outlined in the application included government spending, government debt or taxes.
• Whether there was advocating or lobbying to 'make America a better place to live.'
• Whether a statement in the case file criticized how the country is being run.
• Whether it advocated education about the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
And how bad was the stonewalling? Epic. Over the course of 27 months, not a single Tea Party type organization received tax exempt status. This was no political witch hunt, says the IRS. So why is it that liberal groups had their applications approved in as little as nine months?" . . . Read More

"Then demand immigration reform for [their] new [cheaper] labor!"- WashingtonExaminer
"On Tuesday, the chief human resources officers of more than 100 large corporations sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urging quick passage of a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
The officials represent companies with a vast array of business interests: General Electric, The Walt Disney Company, Marriott International, Hilton Worldwide, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, McDonald's Corporation, The Wendy's Company, Coca-Cola, The Cheesecake Factory, Johnson & Johnson, Verizon Communications, Hewlett-Packard, General Mills, and many more. All want to see increases in immigration levels for low-skill as well as high-skill workers, in addition to a path to citizenship for the millions of immigrants currently in the U.S. illegally.
A new immigration law, the corporate officers say, 'would be a long overdue step toward aligning our nation's immigration policies with its workforce needs at all skill levels to ensure U.S. global competitiveness.' The officials cite a publication of their trade group, the HR Policy Association, which calls for immigration reform to 'address the reality that there is a global war for talent.' The way for the United States to win that war for talent, they say, is more immigration." . . . Read More
10. Exclusive Diary Bombshell
"RFK’s slams against Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Gov. Cuomo." - NewYorkPost
"Kennedy recorded the thoughts in a bombshell diary from 2001, a copy of which was reviewed by The Post.
The fat, red book, covered with bumper stickers shouting liberal slogans, bluntly reveals the scion’s true feelings about some of the most important political figures of our time, including family members such Cuomo, fellow Democrats and Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
RFK Jr. also kept notes for his journal during his month-long stint in a Puerto Rican prison that July. He, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson’s wife, Jacqueline, were charged with trespassing during protests on Vieques, the Puerto Rican island the US Navy used as a bombing range.
The Revs. Jackson and Sharpton 'give me the creeps,' Kennedy writes in a July 5 entry. 'Al Sharpton has done more damage to the black cause than [segregationist Alabama Gov.] George Wallace. He has suffocated the decent black leaders in New York,' he says. 'His transparent venal blackmail and extortion schemes taint all black leadership.'
He goes on to call Sharpton a 'buffoon' who has never escaped the 'stench' of his advocacy for Tawana Brawley, the black Dutchess County teen who fabricated a story about six white men raping her in 1987." . . . Read More
State Senators Who Led Gun Control Push Find Themselves Recalled And Voted Out Of Office -TheBlaze
The Danger Of Wedding Arrogance To Hypocrisy
Democrats and RINOs balked in September 2013 when Russian President Putin challenged Barack Obama's claim that American exceptionalism under his leadership for the last five years was above all others.
As Obama spoke those words, too many politicians in Washington DC riding on the coat tails of Obama's election had already wallowed in the pigpen of multiculturalism, a similar multiculturalism that will guarantee the downfall of Europe within the next three decades.
Obama's personally appointed Czars had already gorged themselves in the delight of being given permission to dismantle the country's foundation, built one stone upon the other and cemented with the blood of millions of patriots seeking freedom. While most of these patriots, born from immigrants, have been forgotten over the years, we need to remind ourselves they came from America's towns and small villages built on the sweat of freedom's hope denied on another soil.
Meanwhile Obama's Czars toss the loosen stones as if garbage, dedicated to diversity's faux promise that the collective is the new road to the future.
Too many of America's universities built from the same sweat find themselves now filled with pariahs who argue sex with animals is a good thing while other students are entertained during sex weeks to live on-stage S&M acts. America's youth was always supposed to be her next generation of leaders. Instead these students could be the most diseased in the history of the Republic from willing STD's, an effect from decades of attacks on family values as local schools and their communities become infested with progressive teachings of government approved Planned Parenthood, an organization President Obama treats as his own holy grail.
However, in the end liberals love to ignore that it was a real Nobel Peace Prize winner, Lech Walesa, the famous Polish Freedom Fighter, not Putin, who proclaimed in early 2010 that America was no longer the moral leader of the world. Walesa, a hero in his younger days who had risked his life and his family's life for freedom against the former USSR, would ironically be pushed aside decades later by the Marxist community organizer, Barack Obama, who arrogantly would need to only lift a finger to receive his Nobel Peace Prize from Norway's Communist elite.
So like Putin, Walesa is just another warning to American voters who want to put leaders into office on the verbal promise to fundamentally change a country that already has successfully fed and clothed many of their families for decades.
Voters need to remember that denial is not a river in Egypt and that Rome fell in a day from the lack of streaming water for buying and selling. Ironically any modern country could fall as fast from the lack of streaming, this time from digital codes disappearing on broken viaducts connected to outer space.
America is a great country. But no country can take sledge hammers on its foundation for very long from its own citizens who believe the lie from a new variety of slick hustlers that the grass will be greener on the other side if they will only believe. Of course voters never ask while cheering at elections, "What other side and where did you say it was?"
