The Drilling Lure: President Gives Us False Hope

Drill, Baby, Drill May Mean Cap n Tax, Baby, Cap n Tax

All through the morning there were folks lauding Obama's decision to open drilling off the east coast of the United States. Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia among others praised the move. But talk began circulating that there may be some gotcha's, strings or other tricks to what Obama is doing.

It's now been blown wide open by Sarah Palin who tweets that John Boehner is saying that "Obama goal=cram thru job-killing, energy-depleting, burdensome Cap & Tax scheme on heels of Obama's new 'pro-drilling' msg."

Just when you thought you were going to get a little bit of that hope and change you were promised, the SOB smacks you in the head with another hairbrained scheme to get HIS agenda through instead of ours.

This is just a downright disgrace. The president basically intends to bribe the American people into letting us drill if we give him Cap N Tax.

Just say no.


UPDATE: Sarah Palin has written more on this.

It's Official: The Smear Campaign Against Tea Party Failed

According to Conservatives4Palin, a "Gallup/USA Today poll finds that 'when asked about incidents of vandalism and threats that followed the bill's passage, Americans are more inclined to blame Democratic political tactics than critics' harsh rhetoric.'" They credited Palin, Cantor and other Republicans and the fact that "the Democrat Party clearly overplayed its hand."

Anyone who knows me knows that from the day Obama got elected until now, my key point and argument of arguments has always been that to win back America we would have to convince the American people that the media lied to them. The media has been in bed with the Democrat party since day one, and Americans everywhere are waking up to this fact just in the nick of time.

I felt so strongly about this point that it was my signature slogan on my Tea Party sign at the 9/12 march on Washington. I wrote it on my Fight For the Right page in February of 2009.

Watching Sarah Palin nail the media during her speech in Searchlight Nevada was just pure music to my ears. To see the American people turning more to social media, the internet, Fox News and word of mouth via Twitter, text and blogs is a dream come true for me. You cannot understand the frustration I felt the in the days it was breaking that ACORN was being accused across the country of widespread voter fraud that the mainstream media continued to focus on a two week old story, Troopergate. Muzzled by the campaign, Palin raised concerns about voter fraud at the Richmond International Raceway rally I attended in Virginia without mentioning ACORN by name. I knew what she meant.

All the smears that the mainstream media perpetrated against the McCain-Palin campaign could not be countered since John McCain elected (or was tricked by Obama into) taking public funding. Despite having much more money than McCain, Obama continued to get free media coverage, including a live commercial about a thrill up the leg delivered by Chris Matthews as he anchored a straight news show (he did not say it on Hardball).

McCain had no money and the free media was clearly heavily going with Obama. The Founders must have been rolling over in their graves. I'm sure Samuel Adams and Thomas Paine would have had a few Samuel Adams if they saw the free press that they championed being hijacked by liberals the way it was.

The polls have spoken. The American people have spoken. Convince the people the media lies and you win. Game over.

How Reagan and Palin Handle Their Political Opponents

I was reading an article on Newsweek to see how Ronald Reagan responded to his then nemesis Jimmy Carter when I saw something blatantly familiar. Here's what Reagan said:
"Let it show on the record that when the American people cried out for economic help, Jimmy Carter took refuge behind a dictionary. Well if it’s a definition he wants, I’ll give him one. A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. Recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."

Ronald Reagan was delivering a speech on a windy day, his hair blowing in the breeze and flags flapping in the wind around him. He had been criticized by Jimmy Carter and the left for using the word "depression" to describe what was happening to the economy.

Didn't something like this just happen again the other day, I thought? Sarah Palin was being criticized for using the word "reload." Her response went something like this:

"We're sending a message to Washington. It's loud and it's clear, and in these upcoming elections we're saying that the big-government, big-debt, Obama-Pelosi-Reid spending spree is over. You're fired!"

Forget about Obama's birth certificate. I want to see Ronald Reagan's death certificate. Something tells me "he's still alive."

I'm watching the speech right now as I post this. This has to be one of Sarah Palin's greatest speeches. Calling it a barnburner would be downplaying it. Put this one on the highlight film.

Check out some vintage Sarah as she and the crowd handle a heckler during her speech for McCain at Texas4Palin. This is some great stuff.

John McCain is A Hero

We cannot be pure ideologues on everything we do. Don't take this out on Sarah Palin. Politics is human and sometimes requires pragmatic choices like not stabbing the guy who made you who you are in the back.

I know the Tea Partiers are going crazy because Sarah Palin is supporting John McCain for re-election to the Senate. I know John McCain has not sided with conservatives 100 % of the time. He messed up with his initial position on immigration reform. He screwed up when he pushed through McCain-Feingold, a law that would eventually be ruled unconstitutional. But, John McCain has also done some good things, especially since the 2008 campaign. To understand why John McCain is a hero and why he should be re-elected lies in one's ability to understand the whole and not just the sum of some bad parts that some wish to focus on.

John McCain supported Ronald Reagan. John McCain was a Reaganite through the 1980's. He also assisted in the 1990's with getting conservative things done while Clinton was president. Yes, John McCain moderated in the 1990's and 2000's. Yes he didn't always vote our way. But on the big stuff, he was there. John McCain had some issues with George W. Bush. McCain's initial position on tax cuts and some of the legislation that he worked on with Ted Kennedy is absolutely not the highlight of McCain's career.

But John McCain is fighting like a dog now against Obama. He has come to understand that there can be no bi-partisanship in a Congress that is as corrupt as the one we have now. John McCain may not always water the right tree, but he understands the forest. He gets the deal. And lately, he's been watering a lot of the right trees.

He is a hero because of his service to our country during the Vietnam War. I understand that while this alone does not qualify someone for re-election, it is an important component of who John McCain is as a great American and a patriot. He is a hero for supporting the Reagan revolution from before he became a senator until the day Reagan left office. He is a hero for showing us that people make mistakes in life and can fix those mistakes both in his personal life as well as his professional life. In a conservative, merit based society, those who do good things should not be punished.

Tea Partiers, I am one of you. I support the movement. I go to Tea Parties. I want to take the country back with you. Those of you in Arizona, vote your conscience. Let's agree to disagree on this one and move on toward the final goal: taking America back. Just understand why Sarah Palin is backing him and why I believe she is doing the right thing.

John McCain did not always do what we conservatives wanted him to do. But he was in our "political" army when Reagan was running, and he helped. He was in our real army when America was trying to defeat communism, and he helped. Oh, and he did a little something else that a lot of us may have forgotten: he gave us Sarah Palin.

That alone may have saved our country.

John McCain is a hero.

Death Threats Against Palin, Cantor, TEA Partiers and Pro Conservative Websites (Update)

There is a crazy loon running wild on Twitter.

Here is a pdf of @crazypeople2 Twitter page: crazypeople2.

UPDATE: Gateway Pundit has now reported on crazypeople2's death threats that a bunch of us picked up on Twitter last night. They also picked up on Michele Bachmann's appearance on Hannity last night where she said that her property was vandalized and she received threats. Bachmann wisely said "said she did not make a big deal out of the attacks because, unlike democrats, she did not want to stir the crazy pot."

In this writer's opinion, this appears to be a smear campaign gone awry. When the Democrats won the health care reform vote, they mistook that as an opportunity to try to win over an overwhelming number of Americans who were opposed to the Obamacare plan by portraying the right wing and the TEA Party movement as violent, angry and threatening (see A Warning to the TEA Party Movement).  When TEA Party activists, conservative bloggers, television anchors and talk radio hosts exposed the smear campaign, most of America dismissed the nonsense that was being spewed by the mainstream media and saw this for what it really was.

This frustrated Democrats who began acting out in crazy ways. While incidents on the right are isolated as are some on the left, the left is actually stirring the pot with their media smear campaign as well as actively organizing telephone campaigns to drown out opposition voices. I explain more on Unsheathed.

Ron Devito also has more at Sarah's Web Brigade.

A Warning to the TEA Party Movement

Beware: you are being set up

Suddenly, just as the health care reform bill is voted into law, the mainstream media starts reporting on all these so called "acts of violence and racial bigotry" and they immediately connect them to the TEA Party - the "angry mob" they have spent the better part of over a year and two months marginalizing. When I began hearing allegations of violence at Congress Representatives' offices and of racial slurs being used at protests in Washington something didn't sit right with me. Something smelled the more I listened to liberal commentators, networks and websites. That smell was not the stench of ratcheted up violence. The smell is the stench of ratcheted up focus on it.

I've been to TEA Parties and I've seen the people. Like most events where a large group of people are assembled, there are always the few who misbehave or act out of line. I've been to church picnics where fights have had to be broken up. But, mainly what I see are a lot of people like you and me. I see older people, professional people, young people, blue collar workers, business owners, religious people and yes, people of different races when I am at these events.

At the first TEA Party I ever attended (Richmond, VA 04/15/09), I saw veterans, grandmothers and the like. But what caught my eye was a guy, kind of looking a little "hippy-ish," carrying a sign that had racial comments on it like "Hispanics are illegal aliens: deport all illegal aliens." I yelled out "someone get some miracle grow for the plant!" People around me laughed. The guy hurried through the crowd away from me. He knew he was either one CNN moment away from accomplishing his goal of being the symbol the left needed to marginalize us or he wsa one moment away from being removed by Richmond P.D. at one of our behests.

As I left the rally, I met an African American man who was holding a sign that read "Palin 2012." I spoke with him briefly and, of course, as Palinistas often do, spent most of the time talking about the second coming of Reagan. But what struck me the most is that the crowd was not a bunch of "white racist tea baggers" as it had been portrayed by the mainstream media. There were a few hispanics, a larger than demographically proportioned number of Asians (I'm eyeballing this, but think I'm right because Richmond doesn't have a large Asian population) and of course white people - white people of different descent too (remember white people can be Italian, Irish, Jewish, Russian, etc). I didn't see any KKK hoods. I didn't see any racists (other than Democrat operatives who infiltrated as plants) and I didn't see any openly gay people expressing their desire to perform a certain sexual act on each other.

The media lies. They lie so bad that if life was conducted under oath, everyone who runs six of the seven major news networks on television would be in jail for aggravated purjury.

Read how the media is lying to us here. "Gateway Pundit Reports: Remember as you read this: There is nothing the Democratic-media complex will not do to lie about the tea party patriots or to prop up these horrid leftists who are transforming our country into some kind of quasi-socialist state."

Which brings me to a posting on Michellemalkin.com which makes the point better than I can. Doug Powers writes: "I condemn real threats of violence almost as much as I condemn desperate claims that are manufactured in a cheap attempts to further broken agendas." (emphasis added). While toiling over writing this blog post, I read that comment and said, well I'm done. Powers said everything I was trying to do in paragraphs in one sentence.

And although my boss thinks I was 15 minutes late for work today because of traffic at the Bryan Park interchange, the truth is I couldn't get to sleep until 3 am last night. I had just gotten off the phone with a friend of mine who patiently listened through a 20 minute rant on how the left is using Alinsky tactics to marginalize us. I explained how the media was ginning up the TEA Party violence, which ended up becoming a political science class in how the radical leftist movement infiltrated the Democrat party in 1968 and eventually infiltrated the government. Those who complained of being repressed by the man had become the man.

When Glenn Beck talked about that last night, my first reaction was "he's bugging my phone." Then I realized the show was taped. However, his opening monologue, although probably much more well done than my political rant, was on the EXACT SAME SUBJECT that I was discussing on the phone. I texted my friend back because I knew he was watching Beck too. "Glenn Beck is blowing my mind," I wrote. I think I even tweeted it.

It really hit me last night when I got into a twitter war with some lib about TEA Party violence. I always try to keep my political debates on the up and up, but truth is truth and fact is fact. The woman who was bantering with me last night was a liar. She was from Canada, or so she said she was. I didn't expect her to have the SEIU or MoveOn.org logo on her website. A plant has to meld with its environment, not stand out. She was lying about the TEA Party violence and she was lying that I wouldn't renounce it. Before reading Michelle Malkin's column, I told her this:

I don't condone anything that the left "claims" we've done. I would love to find out who's doing these things.
She went nuts. The argument deteriorated from that point forward. I didn't give her the answer she wanted and I basically cut it off after she told me I needed schooling. I don't need schooling from ignorant people.

"I would love to find out who's doing these things."

TEA Partiers, be warned. The left wing radicals are setting you up. From the communications offices in the White House, to the editorial rooms in major news networks across America, to the blogosphere and to the political offices that support left wing candidates, they are working on a way of sticking the sword right through the heart of the TEA Party. They are arrogants sons of bitches who think that now that they have health care reform, it's time to destroy us.

Never forget this line in President Obama's inaugural address: "On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics." Let me translate that for you: "On this day, we come to destroy conservatism and fundamentally transform the United States of America into a European socialist style democracy." This is the most important line in Obama's inaugural address. It is the polar opposite of Reagan's first inaugural statement:

In the days ahead, I will propose removing the roadblocks that have slowed our economy and reduced productivity. Steps will be taken aimed at restoring the balance between the various levels of government. Progress may be slow -- measured in inches and feet, not miles -- but we will progress. It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles there will be no compromise.
Obama's statement in his inaugural address is the complete and total undoing of what Reagan said. Obama should have used the words "there will be no compromise" when it comes to implementing radical statist socialism in America. Obama was a Marxist in college and Obama is a socialist today. This is not enflamed right wing rhetoric or some crazy conspiracy theory. Read Obama's writings. Read about his associations. It's all right there. It's as plain as Reverend Wright, William Ayers and Father Pfleiger.

The people associated with the radical movement in America are thugs. They are the ones inciting violence. They are doing it by inciting us to violence so that we could manifest for them the one final fact needed for their argument that the TEA Party movement is a danger to America. They want us to be perceived as "un-American."  The fringe, the angry mob and those that are called "un-American" by the likes of Joe Klein and Keith Olbermann are family people like you who hold jobs, go to church, own homes, pay your taxes and your bills and love America. The fringe, America, is you.

Heed the words of Glenn Beck from last night's show:
This might be the most dangerous monologue I've ever done, because I'm telling you now: They need you to be violent. They are begging you for it. You are being set up. Do not give them what they want. I saw a report earlier today on Fox about how congressmen are getting death threats because they voted for the health care bill.

I am telling you: Do not become them! Not only is it completely nuts and wrong, it's exactly what they want. That's what they did!

They have dropped the radical pose for the radical ends. Don't play into their script: They need you to become them.

I know it is extremely frustrating right now and they are doubling down, but do not give them what they want. Remain who you've always been: A decent, religious and moral people. Don't pick anything up except your religious scripture.
The more quickly the left can marginalize the TEA Party movement, the more quickly it can continue the dismantling of our free market based, Constitutional form of government and replace it with the next step, not the final product: a socialist democracy. From there they will be able to do the Hugo Chavez thing. But they are patient. They know it takes time. They've been patient for over 50 years.

Here's how it is starting to happen according to the Canadian Free Press:

A federal intelligence source reported in an interview last evening that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have been called in to “actively investigate incidents of violence and threats” made to at least ten Democrats and one Republican lawmaker since Sunday. Their involvement was reportedly requested by top House leadership and one unnamed, high-level White House official. According to this source, who agreed to speak to this writer under the strict condition of anonymity, “a ‘watch list’ has already been created that specifically names and turns their focus on various pro-life and tea-party organizations and individuals who are considered a threat to domestic security, continuity of government operations, and to the lives of lawmakers and their families.”
We need to find out who is committing the violence and making the racial remarks. WE need to find these people. WE need be more vigilant than the left claims to be in finding violent people in our movement. Why? Because if we catch these people one of two things is going to happen. We are either going to kick them out the movement and turn them over to the cops or we are going to expose them as Democratic operatives. As soon as you find one, let's connect those dots all the way up to the White House and blow this scandal wide open.

It's hunting season, fellow conservatives, fellow TEA Partiers. It's time to go find some plants and expose them.

Romper Room Update

To follow up on an earlier post, It's Romper Room In Obama-land, lets see how the children are acting after getting their way on health care reform. Those who have children know that they will be persistent. They will bug you and bug you until they get that new toy they want. No matter how much you say no, they somehow find a way. After tugging on the pant leg, whining, crying, kicking, screaming and carrying on like children will, they finally got their new toy (look mommy, comes complete with abortions and death panels!).

Today's bill signing looked more like the after party at a Guns and Roses concert than it did a ceremonial bill signing, you know that thing that past presidents did with gratitude and reverence. With such a close vote on such a hotly contested issue in which the politicians in Washingtons were basically split down the middle and the American people overwhelmingly against, you would think they would save the gloating for something more bi-partisan, like killing Osama bin Laden or solving the nuclear Iran problem.

Trot out "Say it ain't so, Joe" to add to the noise of children running around the playground screaming and laughing. Yes, Joe, this is a big f--king deal. And the grown ups are f--king pissed. So if the kids want to run around out of control and with no supervision for now, that's fine.

Come November, the grown ups are coming home. Enjoy it while you can, kiddies.
