My best friends are wonderful people – talented, accomplished, generous, smart and caring. So it’s hard to see them in such fear and pain. The way they see it, the Visigoths have battered down the gates of Rome, and the Vestal Virgins had better scramble for cover.
In the aftermath of Toronto’s election rout, their only consolation is that Rob Ford is probably too stupid and incompetent to completely sack the place. If only they lie low for the next four years, sanity will surely return to city politics.Like my friends, the people who work in much of the major media – the CBC, the Toronto Star, even my own beloved paper – were stunned by the Ford tsunami.
After all, the polls had predicted a squeaker. But there’s another reason they didn’t see the big wave coming. Very few of these people live or work outside downtown Toronto. Very few ever hang around with someone who voted for Mr. Ford and will own up to it. They remind me of the super-smart editorial writers at The New York Times who are sincerely convinced that Tea Partiers are dangerous crackpots – even though they’ve never met any.The media think they understand why people voted as they did. As one Toronto Star pundit helpfully explained, the voters – Ford voters, that is – “were full of largely pointless rage.”
Only pointless rage could explain why voters ignored the editorial endorsements of two leading newspapers, as well as a long line of former mayors who begged them, in the name of decency, to vote for George Smitherman. Even Justin Trudeau’s twinkle dust didn’t work….

WHY ARE THE TOP MILITARY COMMANDERS ALLOWING A CATASTROPHIC CHARADE TO CONTINUE?
by Arnie Rosner
Benedict Arnold betrayed the Continental Army by secretly plotting to aid the British and then formally changing sides. He was promoted to Major General before his defection. Should Maj. Gen. Hawley-Bowland bear the same label as Arnold did?Aug. 13, 2010 — General…I, Carla Hawley-Bowland, having been appointed a Major General in the U.S. Army under the conditions indicated in this document, do accept such appointment and do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.
Bring back memories? Or have you forgotten…?Are we to believe you swore this oath in good faith? In honesty? In Truth?Do you have the strength of character, the courage, the morality, the integrity and the ethics necessary to uphold this oath?Really?You realize, General, the Army is on trial here; not Lt. Col. Lakin. From my personal point of view, General, I do not like what I am seeing! So please tell me, General Hawley-Bowland, what exactly should we believe?Should we believe the content in the following links as the media division of the Army would like:GoArmy.comGoArmy.comor the real Army represented below as JAG they cannot both be true?

If You Want To Board An Airplane In America You Now Have Two Options: Let Airport Security Gawk At Your Exposed Body Or Let Airport Security Feel You Up
Posted By admin On October 30, 2010 @ 4:12 am In World News | 3 Comments
The American Dream [1]
Oct 30, 2010
In America today, we have become so spooked by “terror threats” that now we will submit to just about anything in the name of security. At this point, we are allowing ourselves to be treated as little more than cattle. Procedures that would once be considered an affront to human dignity are now accepted as “the new normal”. If you want to get on an airplane in America today, you must either go through one of the incredibly intrusive full body scanners that are going into all U.S. airports and let airport security gawk at your exposed body, or you must allow airport security to feel you up using the new “enhanced pat-down” techniques they are being instructed to employ. As you will see below, these new pat-down procedures are incredibly intrusive. If anyone tried to touch us like that out on the street they would be put in prison. But this is the new America where all of us must give up all of our privacy and all of our dignity just so that everyone can feel a little bit safer.
Up until this week, many Americans were not that concerned about the new full body security scanners going into airports across the nation because they still had the alternative of opting for a minimally intrusive pat-down. But now that has all changed. It turns out that too many Americans were opting for the pat-down, so now the TSA is rolling out their new “enhanced pat-down” procedures.

RUSH: Melissa in Houston, it’s great to have you on Open Line Friday. Hi.CALLER: Yes. I’ve read that something like 800 people are going on this Indian trip with the president. And I was just wondering: Who are these people? Why are they all leaving the country, and what is gonna be the cost of all this, too.RUSH: Well, we know this.
We know that 40 airplanes are being utilized, including both Air Force Ones. Both Marine Ones are being disassembled and flown over there on cargo planes, as is the Obamamobile, the official presidential limousine. I think there are two or three of those. You gotta know that a lot of Secret Service are going, White House staff. I hadn’t seen the number 800.CALLER: Okay. I read that, I guess, on Politico. But you said something like 500. Well, they’re taking the whole Taj Mahal.RUSH: Yeah, 520 rooms in the Taj Mahal.CALLER: Mmm-hmm. And then there were additional hotels, I think, too.RUSH: Yeah. Basically it sounds like a government in exile. Like I said, the question to me is: Are they coming back?

The head of the Obama Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, Tom Perez, admitted this week that he has no real intention of trying to assure that members of our military are afforded their right to vote, and will not attempt in a timely fashion to enforce the MOVE Act Military and Overseas Voter Empower Act intended to make sure that our soldiers get their ballots with time enough to return them so that they can be counted on election day.
Perez made a very weak pledge that the Dept. of Justice would, “continue to vigilantly enforce [the] law” to make sure the military votes are counted, but he made it clear that all he is prepared to do is sue states long after the November 2 elections are over. In other words, Perez is saying that the DOJ will sue states after the election, long after the votes go uncounted and our soldier’s votes are essentially taken away from them.It is a typical, Democrat bait-and-switch operation. Perez is putting on airs, acting as if he’s is seriously trying to enforce the law, but his actions will come too late, hitting after that “enforcement” will do any good at all….Publiusforum.com…

Before the Philly New Black Panther Party radicals showed up at a voting booth in 2008 with billy clubs and racial epithets at the ready, my old nemesis Malik Shabazz — the NBPP thug-in-chief — put out a nationwide warning. Remember?“We will be at the polls in the cities and counties in many states to ensure that the enemy does not sabotage the black vote, which was won through the blood of the martyrs of our people.”
Well, NBPP official Quannell X in Texas says his militant minions will return…to monitor citizen election watchdogs.Election Law Center says: Strap in. And bring your cameras.

The Justice Department is sending a small pack of election observers to Arizona as Hispanic groups sound the alarm over an anti-illegal immigration group’s mass e-mail seeking to recruit Election Day volunteers to help block illegal immigrants from voting.Hispanic voting rights groups say the e-mail is just an attempt to intimidate minority voters.
But election fraud monitors say that there are hundreds of examples of duplicate registrations, wrong information and past unregistered voters getting ballots.

MIDDLE-EASTERN POWDER KEG
by Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely Ret.
Who will be the one to call “checkmate”?Oct. 30, 2010 — It appears that our State Department and White House are still asleep at the switch while the Iranians are very busy and fastidious in resetting the chessboard in the Middle East to their liking. What has Iran been doing in addition to moving their nuclear program forward, becoming the hegemonic power of the Middle East and supporting the international jihad?
The Iranians unlike the United States are very clever at using proxies to do their dirty work.Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs seem to achieve some victory on every front weekly in orchestrating the activities in Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Syria not to mention their support of Hamas, Iraqi Shiites, and the Taliban and, oh, let us not forget Al Qaeda and the Bin Laden family. Iran has planned a larger, bolder strategy for the demise of Israel?
Russia, somewhat remaining in the background, supplies sophisticated technology and military systems to Iran and Syria and languishes in the diminution of the United States influence in the Middle East.

“THE MODEL OF A DICTATORSHIP”by Sharon RondeauThe Monroe County Sheriff is Bill BivensOct. 30, 2010 — The Post & Email spoke with Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III shortly after 8:00 p.m. last evening from the Monroe County jail, at which time he reported the following:I have spoken with some of the deputy sheriffs here, and they know what’s going on and can’t say anything.
The situation is terrible, out of control. There are innocent men who have been locked up. They’re rigging the juries, and the people here know it. It’s the model of a dictatorship, an extortion racket.We asked Mr. Fitzpatrick if he had seen a physician for his injuries sustained on Wednesday during his arrest. His answer was, “No, that’s not going to happen until I get out of here.”However, Fitzpatrick reported that two “special” FBI agents visited him at the jail on Friday.Fitzpatrick’s closing comments were, “This is a gulag. It’s outrageous. Tell everyone to keep up the pressure. What’s happening in Monroe County is an example of everything that’s wrong in our local communities.”On the Monroe County Sheriff’s website, Sheriff Bill Bivens is pictured and quoted:Welcome to the Monroe County Sheriff Department website. Monroe County is home to some of the most beautiful views in the country and some of the finest people in the world.The men and women employed with the Sheriffs Department are committed to serve and protect through cooperative efforts between the city police departments, the Sheriff Department, and the citizens to make Monroe County the perfect place to live.
My door will always be open to you and the people of Monroe County for suggestions, questions, concerns, or ideas.Again thank you for visiting our site and please feel free to contact us if we can be of service.Sincerely yours,Sheriff Bill Bivens

First, notice that “everything that’s wrong is somebody else’s fault.” Obama mainly blames Republicans. But Republicans have been in the minority in both houses of Congress since 2006. Obama complains that Republicans have not cooperated with him, but he fails to acknowledge that his First Great Experiment TARP was passed with Republican votes.
He fails to mention that except for Cap and Trade, which got derailed by Democrats after the email scandal, he got virtually everything he sought from Congress. What his projection of blame does not consider is that his policies have, for the most part, been failures. Even his top staff, many of whom are bailing out now, have admitted as much.Secondly, and what we would suggest is most telling about his view of the world, is how he views voters. He has repeatedly expressed contempt toward members of the Tea Party Movement. He basically, as expressed in the article linked above, believes the voters are ignorant and more than a little bit looney. And this apparently is endemic in his thinking. You will recall his comments, way before the wheels came off his economic program, about how the masses rely on religion and their guns for solace in tough times. Yet not once have we heard him concede that just maybe the masses are correct.[SNIP]While he complains about the “failed policies of the past that got us in this mess” he shows no understanding that his policies have not worked and no one on his staff is even contending now that they will work, or at least not any time soon.

We already know that Barack Hussein Obama Soebarkah AKA Barry Soetoro is not constitutionally eligible to be president, no matter where he was born. I also think it is very critical the fraud at all levels is exposed and dealt with. This includes the Obama COLB that was first posted online by the Daily KOS and then by Obama’s FightTheSmears website, which both still have the forged COLB posted.
Many in the Media claim, including the obots, that the short-form COLB is the only document obtainable by the Hawaii Department of Health, but, as proven here, that is not true and is a complete lie.New research was conducted on the recently released Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth which then led the researcher to re-examine the KOS/FTS Obama COLB which clearly and undoubtedly put the nail in the coffin on the complete and utter forgery. The new examination reveals that the COLB does not have an ID number under the blacked out section of the COLB. This fact alone should have the Hawaii DOH investigating why they have a blank template of one of their state issued COLB’s floating around the internet and why a candidate for the presidency of the United States used and is still using a Hawaiian COLB with no ID number printed on it. It is clear as day that this document was not officially issued by the State of Hawaii.Note that the KOS/FTS Obama COLB is not the same Obama COLB that Factcheck published on their website, after questions were raised about the authenticity of the KOS/FTS COLB, as the Factcheck.org COLB clearly has an identification number on it…

Does Keith Ellison benefit from voter fraud? The Pro-Abort, Islamist politician is afraid of his constituency being too afraid to vote, and even felt the need to doctor up one of the Tea Party’s posters to make his point.Voter Fraud is a felony and has a $500 fine? What is this rabid socialist afraid of?
