Can Rick Perry Clean Up The Mess He Made For Himself?

As I watched the debate Wednesday night between the eight Republican presidential primary opponents, I was overall pleased, both by the way the candidates handled themselves and by the answers they gave to the myriad of economic questions they were asked. It was a debate that I personally think all Republicans won, and while many like myself may think that Perry is finished, the ultimate loser was CNBC. CNBC lost because they could not make the Republican candidates act like a bunch of toddlers fighting over the only toy in the room.

The moderators tried their best to get any of the candidates to admit that taxes must be raised to save the economy, but to no avail. All the candidates agreed that raising taxes would be the worst move a president could do. Instead they all called for taxes to be cut, spending to be reduced, and various agencies to be eliminated along with repealing Obamacare.

The five reasons I asserted that Governor Perry would have the best shot at beating Obama were simple ones: He decisively created more jobs than Obama. He greatly respects and tries to encourage small businesses. He has a clear understanding of federalism and what states shouldn’t be forced into.

The un-debate ~ the most talked about moment in tonight’s CNBC debate in Michigan came when Texas Gov. Rick Perry had a cringe-worthy meltdown…

It goes without saying that the most talked about moment in tonight’s CNBC debate in Michigan came when Texas Gov.

Rick Perry had a cringe-worthy meltdown struggling to remember the three government agencies he wanted to eliminate. But there was a telling moment earlier in the evening, when Mitt Romney was asked about his record of taking inconsistent positions, and he responded by citing his long marriage, time at Bain Capital and church membership as evidence of his steadiness.

Perry followed Romney, and didn’t attempt to attack him as a flip-flopper. That was the trend all evening, as Republican rivals refrained from criticizing each other.

PARALLEL UNIVERSE: Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Lord Acton‘s famous saying is often misquoted as “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Either quote applies to the power of the United States, says Judge Andrew P. Napolitano in his 2010 book “Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power, and Deception in American History” (Thomas Nelson, 368 pages, notes, index) which I found while dropping off a bunch of my review copies at our local library. I can think of no better good deed than to help a public library in times of need — and they’re always in times of need!

What convinced me to check out the good Judge’s book was the book’s foreward by Rep. Ron Paul, R-TX, who’s my congressman (Texas 14) and the guy I voted for in 1988 for President when he ran on the Libertarian Party ticket. I’ve voted for him twice in his re-election bid, in 2008 and 2010. I met Paul at a function in Calhoun County, Texas, where I live, and he autographed my copy of his book “End the Fed”. (for my review: http://archives.huntingtonnews.net/columns/090916-kinchen-columnsbookreview.html).

Like Paul, Napolitano hates the Fed and devotes “Lie #8 “The Federal Reserve Shall Be Controlled by Congress” to a discussion — and dissection — of the Fed. For one thing, it’s a private organization of banks and bankers and there’s nothing “Federal” about it. It also has no “Reserve” and is backed by neither gold nor silver. I call it the “Creature from Jekyll Island,” the offshore Georgia island where a band of bankers and political leaders met in secret in 1910 to come up with the idea for a backdoor central bank.

If Paul and Obama were to face-off in a televised debate it is clear who would win: Paul.

Obama has no integrity and no ideas of his own. He is a mere puppet, a whore, a cheater. If Obama didn’t have the treasonous banks on Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, the Madison Avenue propaganda machine, the military-industrial complex and the shadow government behind him then he would be a nobody.

Despite the constant assertion heard in the mainstream media that Ron Paul is unelectable or a non-viable candidate, these results seem to prove otherwise. What is most significant, perhaps, about these numbers is Paul’s consistent popularity and success in his campaign even without the support of the corporate media or lobbyists.

I think it is shameful that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an academic institution for support for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings. I understand that there is a residual sympathy for service members, perhaps engendered by support for troops in World War II, or perhaps from when there was a draft and people with few resources to resist were involuntarily sent to battle. That sympathy is not particularly rational in today’s world, however.

Be Honest CNBC-You Are Biased Against Ron Paul

Those of us who have supported Ron Paul since his presidential run in 2008 (and some who supported him long before that) have come to expect an astonishing array of mainstream media tricks, lies, and censorship when it comes to the “journalistic” examination of the good doctor.

This doesn’t mean, however, that we have ever or will ever come to ACCEPT this consistent trend of deception and disinformation as a forgone conclusion of our political lives.

We will never throw up our hands and walk away from the mess the MSM has deliberately created, because that is exactly what they would like us to do; give up, shut up, go home, vote for Romney (an establishment crony with the creepy grin of a pedophile), and watch him lose to Obama (yet another establishment crony) in 2012.

President Obama should know better. Our constitutional-law-professor-in-chief has, once again, taken the government to unprecedented levels of secrecy while institutionalizing the perversions of our seemingly never-ending war-on-terror. On October 30th, the administration, without seeking Congressional authorization, proposed an executive rule that will license governmental agencies to issue bald-faced lies to the citizenry, making a mockery not only of the Freedom of Information Act, but of the President’s supposed promise of transparency.

Early in his presidency in 2009, in a “memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies” regarding proposed changes to the operation of the Freedom of Information Act, President Obama extolled the virtues of governmental openness, stating that

A democracy requires accountability, and accountability requires transparency. As Justice Louis Brandeis wrote, “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.” In our democracy, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which encourages accountability through transparency, is the most prominent expression of a profound national commitment to ensuring an open Government.

The real scandal in the accusations against Herman Cain is the corruption of the law, the media and politics.

Let’s start with the law. Some people may think the fact that the National Restaurant Association reportedly paid $45,000 to settle a claim made by one of its employees against Mr. Cain is incriminating.

Most of us are not going to part with 45 grand without some serious reason. But that is very different from the situation of an organization in the present legal climate.

The figure $45,000 struck a chord with me because, some years ago, my wife — who is an attorney — was fervently congratulated when her client had to pay “only” $45,000 in a jury award when the plaintiff was demanding a million dollars, in a case that was as frivolous a lawsuit as you could find.

In their view, the candidates continue to offer ideas and policies that wouldn’t pass muster in their classes – populated by 18 year-old college students. “There are so many economic ‘misstatements’ being made,” said Jonathan Lanning, a professor at Bryn Mawr who is teaching two introductory economics classes this semester. “And it isn’t confined to any one candidate.” … Another professor who teaches at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Michael Salemi, was able to identify statements from six candidates that “would earn failing grades in my Econ 101 class.”

CNBC Cans Debate Poll Because Ron Paul Was Leading

Network Managing Editor claims having well organized political support constitutes “gaming”

November 10, 2011

CNBC pulled an online poll 25 minutes after last night’s GOP debate, reasoning that “one candidate” was leading by a large margin – that candidate was, of course, Ron Paul.

As the following video shows, Ron Paul was ahead of the pack by a large margin, before the poll was unceremoniously pulled from the CNBC site altogether and replaced with a generic article titled “Who won the debate – Attendees weigh in”:

CNBC Managing Editor Allen Wastler issued the following statement explaining the reason the poll was removed:

Gamed Poll…So We Took It Down

We had a poll up from our Republican Presidential Debate asking readers who they thought won. One candidate was leading by such a margin that it became obvious the polling wasn’t so much a reading of our audience, but of the Internet prowess of this particular candidate’s political organization. We have therefore taken the poll down. Yes, we’ve gone through this exercise before.

Wastler included a link to a previous statement from 2007, where exactly the same thing happened.

Lee Duigon — How Pure Crapola Becomes Settled Science

People understand that Congress is unspeakably corrupt. Many also understand that our “news” media suppress and distort the news; that our public schools and colleges make their students dumber instead of smarter; or even that certain churches train their congregations more in the way of worldliness than godliness.

But Science! There’s an institution we can still believe in. And most of us still do—as if fallen, sinful human beings turn into angels the moment they don lab coats.

Thanks to Science we have learned to believe in some of the most preposterous and malignant notions ever dreamed up in this poor, sin-laden world. We believe, for instance, in Evolution, or in Man-made Global Warming—because we are told, over and over and over again, that we must believe in it.

Dave Daubenmire — The Bible-Belt is Unbuckled

But the church has shirked the responsibility. We have passed the buck and hired mercenaries to do our dirty work. We call them Pro-life Republicans, politicians, but they are surrogate salt. They are vote counters, not Truth defenders. Why would we expect them to do a job that the pastors will not? It is so much easier to send another to war than it is to go ourselves. Voting is so much easier than fighting.

The big media story from last nights Republican Presidential Primary Debate on CNBC was Governor Perry’s gaffe when he tried listing the departments of the federal government he would eliminate. Maybe lost in the sensationalism is the change in our national politics that this topic represents.

The majority of the GOP contenders are talking like the elimination of entire departments is a foregone conclusion. It might be election year politics, but the idea is immensely popular among conservatives judging by the crowd reactions every time someone in any of the debates has suggested it. Now we all know that a President by himself can not create or abolish an entire department by fiat. A good deal of congressional arm twisting, threats, pandering, pontificating, high horse riding and the obligitory “widows and orphans thrown out into the streets” stories would all accompany any serious attempt to eliminate a federal department. However, it is encouraging that it has become a more broadly accepted theme that in years past.

The existence of the Cabinet dates back to the first American President, George Washington, who appointed a Cabinet of four people (Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson; Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton; Secretary of War Henry Knox; and Attorney General Edmund Randolph) to advise and assist him in his duties. Cabinet officers are nominated by the President and then presented to the United States Senate for confirmation or rejection by a simple majority.

Kidnapping and Ransom Rampant in the US by Jeff Berwick

RANSOMS RAISED

The kidnappers, hard up for money in these tough economic times have begun to raise their ransoms. Kidnappers in Arizona allow you to visit the person kidnapped but they demand a fee of $25 per visit.

And now one criminal cartel that controls the area called Riverside County in California has stated that they will be kidnapping people and demanding a ransom of $142.42 per day. Cartel boss, Jeff Stone, released this statement to the media about their increase in operations:

“I think we’re blazing a new trail here. In these very challenging economic times, I believe this can be a source of revenue … I believe this can return 3 to 5 million (dollars) a year during these very challenging economic times.”

Other cartels throughout the US are likely watching this with great interest.

KIDNAPPING CONDITIONS IN THE US

Often times those kidnapped in the US are placed in very overcrowded conditions, brutally beaten and sodomized by other hostages. One particularly brutal cartel boss who operates in the southern Arizona corridor, with the nickname “Sheriff Joe”, has been very active abducting people from their cars after leaving bars and putting them in concentration camps in the Arizona desert at temperatures often above 110F and feeding them spoiled food and dressing them in pink jumpsuits – a strange fetish of the crime boss.

Reggie Love, Obama ‘body man,’ to leave White House by year’s end – The Washington Post

Obama has described Love as “the person who keeps me on schedule.” But like many young loyalists on the Obama staff, Love has evolved into a much more important role over time, acting as a gatekeeper and a liaison – and basketball buddy.

Obama once described him as a “little brother.” Among the recognizable members of the Obama team in public – he is a towering 6-foot-4 — Love is also a constant presence in the West Wing and by the president’s side during every trip away from home.

He is in the background of countless official photos, even if he rarely speaks in a public setting, apart from the occasional interview on ESPN.

White House officials did not immediately offer details about Love’s departure.

Recently released amateur video of two Florida Highway Patrol troopers apparently speeding down a highway appears to be the latest jab thrown at FHP.

CBS4 News partners Univision say the video was shot by an unidentified police officer, allegedly last Thursday on the Florida Turnpike and given to the press.

It appears to be a direct response to the video leaked last month of FHP Trooper Donna Watts pulling over and briefly detaining Miami Police officer Fausto Lopez at gunpoint for reckless driving while he sped to an off-duty job.

Let It Burn ~ “be better off throwing in the towel now and letting President Obama have the second term “

I profess to be neither an economist nor a political science expert. But after watching the campaign for the presidency for the past four months or so, the cynic in me wonders if the Republican Party and conservatives might not be better off throwing in the towel now and letting President Obama have the second term that he and his supporters so desperately want.

Look at it this way: It seems that Obama’s opponent is going to be one of four individuals – either Mitt Romney, Herman Cain (assuming that the media do not succeed in bringing him down over the recent allegations against him),

Chris Rock, the Obama supporter

Some celebrities may have soured a bit on President Barack Obama, but not Chris Rock. The comedian and actor told fellow comedian Marc Maron on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast that he’s “fine with the president,” if only because he understands that the president has to keep his most aggressive policies on the back burner until he earns a second term.

“There’s a f——— art to the first term because you’re always running for a second term the whole time. It’s like Clinton’s first term. You can’t really do your gangsta sh— until your second term. … Even Bush couldn’t really f—- up the world until his second term. That’s when he put the hammer down.”But Rock understands a lot of the disappointment that Obama’s supporters have had thus far in his presidency.

The financial death spiral of the US Federal Government has been caused by financially irresponsible politicians during the last 80 years. Their lack of stewardship has resulted in them charging us with a National Debt of 14.8 TRILLION dollars, which must be paid back, plus interest, to those who we borrowed the money from.

We have indeed allowed these same politicians to cruelly burden our own grandchild with this horrific National Debt. We have no one to blame but ourselves for electing them in the first place, and not impeaching them when they failed to spend our money within our means.

How’s the American left’s smooth talkin’ secular savior doing by comparison? With the complicity of a thoroughly corrupt leftist press, he has used the politics of race, class and sex to divide the country to near Civil War proportions.

Major Wars and Suppression of American Freedoms Planned BEFORE 9/11

Iran War Threats, Militarization of American Police and Spying on Americans All Started BEFORE 9/11

Many things which we’ve been told have only happened recently actually started a long time ago.

For example, the mainstream media claims that Iran is close to building a nuclear weapon. But the Christian Science Monitor notes that the U.S. has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran was on the verge of nuclear capability.

And the decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11.

As another example, journalists from across the spectrum have documented the militarization of police forces in the United States, including, CNN, Huffington Post, Forbes, Esquire, The Atlantic, Salon, and theCato Institute.

Indeed, police shooting peaceful “occupy” protesters with rubber bullets, tear gas and other projectiles and brutally beating them has brought this issue to the attention of the American public. See this, thisand this.

But the militarization of police started long before 9/11 … in the 1980s. As Radley Balko testified before the House Subcommittee on Crime:

Militarization [of police forces is] a troubling trend that’s been on the rise in America’s police departments over the last 25 years.

For me this is a grabber, but make up your own mind.

…..I was interviewing a high-level intelligence Pentagon official who brought up the possibility of Martial Law. and how, This action may be necessary from a Military Security perspective. I believe this man loved our country and spoke with integrity. However, he commented that in a time of great emergency Martial Law may become necessary. “Once the crisis is over the government will return government back to the people.

The problem with that premise is that it is based on the integrity of who is in power at the time of crisis and what guarantee do we have that our government will return the government of ‘We the people,’ back to the people?”

This is a very serious matter and that is why there is so much concern regarding things like a simple 30 second test, which can cause tremendous apprehension among many Americans.

Anyone tried the new Magic Jack Plus?

Anyone tried the new Magic Jack Plus?

Posted on Thursday, November 10, 2011 9:06:58 AM by WackySam

I’ve heard good things about the standard version of Magic Jack but never tried it myself due to the fact that it had to be connected to a PC running 24/7. Now that the new “plus” version can be used as a stand-alone unit I’m thinking of giving it a try. Love to hear your opinion if you’ve used it.

“If the Republican Presidential race were decided on intensity of support, Ron Paul would be the frontrunner” ~ Ron Paul And Libertarians Can’t Be Discounted – Forbes

If the Republican Presidential race were decided on intensity of support, Ron Paul would be the frontrunner. Of course it’s not, so Paul’s constant showing of about 10% in nearly every poll allows the political class to treat him as a fringe candidate.

Whether or not you agree with his libertarian doctrines, he deserves more regard because of the loyalty he draws from his supporters and the importance of their votes.

Handicappers will speculate on who will win Paul’s voters when he is forced to drop out. I don’t expect Paul to drop out, or for very many of his supporters to abandon him when the process comes down to the two-person race many anticipate between Mitt Romney and Herman Cain or Rick Perry. Instead, I could see Paul gaining support, especially if Cain’s candidacy is blown up by sexual harassment charges.

Paul is the hero of libertarian voters. He is a physician turned Constitutionalist politician. His first run for President was as a Libertarian in 1988, and ran as a Republican in 2008.

Image via Wikipedia

Paul has represented a district near Houston that includes Galveston for 12 terms, beginning in 1976 and including two separate breaks in service. He has said he will “never vote for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution.”

It has become clear that for administration apologists, the favored approach for dealing with the “Project Gunwalker” fallout is to loudly shout “Bush did it too!” (as if that would somehow mitigate the atrocity of our government aiding in the murder two of federal law enforcement officers and hundreds of Mexican citizens). If this had not been obvious before yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General Eric Holder, it certainly is now, with Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) enthusiastically beating that drum.

HOW COMMON LAW WAS REPLACED WITH ROMAN CIVIL CODES TO THE DETRIMENT OF FREEDOM

by Steven Wayne Pattison, ©2011

King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England, uniting the two kingdoms under one monarchy

(Nov. 9, 2011) —Editor’s Note: The following essay is a continuation of the ideas presented in Part 1 of this series.

The major systems of law in European history were Roman law, feudal law, canon law, civil law, English common law and the Napoleonic Code. The use of international law in the twentieth century was for the purpose of the banks having control over trade. Napoleonic Code is the laws of Louisiana and Roman Civil Codes titled here in our Country as ‘United States Codes’ which are what every State of the Union is using, making them all de facto, a point which will be covered later.

 

Today there is nowhere to run to escape what is happening to our Country because the banklords control all the money of the other countries through the IMF. If you don’t get involved now, our Country will continue down the path of corruption under the current Conspiracy. Even the Congress of the United States reports the same facts of our destruction within its Congressional Findings:

Joe Scarborough has escalated his running war with the conservative blogosphere. Clearly stung by being branded a RINO—among other things—Scarborough lashed out at “conservative bloggers” this morning.

Springboarding off his handicapping of the GOP presidential primary, in which asserted that Romney, Gingrich and Huntsman are the only three with a shot, Scarborough said: “I’m right all the time. And I know my Republican party better than you know you’re Republican party and it pisses you off and I understand why it would. Because you’re always calling me a RINO and I’m always right about my party and you’re always wrong.”

Americans Are Now Living In a Society That Rivals Orwell’s 1984

Winston Smith’s Oceania has nothing on 2011 America

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Americans are now living in a society that in some cases is more draconian, more invasive and more Orwellian than the dystopian tyranny fictionalized in Orwell’s chilling classic Nineteen Eighty-Four. On almost every front, American citizens are under an equal or greater threat of abuse, control and more pervasive and high-tech surveillance than anything Winston Smith ever faced.

Compare life in Oceania to life in 2011 America, with quotes from George Orwell’s 1984 appearing in italic.

“In general you could not assume that you were much safer in the country than in London. There were no telescreens, of course, but there was always the danger of concealed microphones by which your voice might be picked up and recognized.”

Americans will now too have their every utterance listened to by Big Brother in public through surveillance-capable street lights now being installed in major cities across the country which can record private conversations. Just as the citizens of Oceania could never be sure of their privacy, Charlotte’s Deputy Homeland Security chief told the local Fox network earlier this week that Americans “would never know” whether or not the government was listening.

Conservatives organize to defeat Romney

By Alicia M. Cohn – 11/10/11 05:15 AM ET

A coalition of conservatives is working to organize the disparate groups opposing Mitt Romney as the Republican presidential nominee.

While much has been made of Romney’s lack of support amongst conservative Republicans, the sense of malaise has mostly manifested as a lack of enthusiasm rather than outright opposition. That may all be about to change.

The new coalition is seeking to push back against the narrative that Romney is the “inevitable nominee,” according to spokesman and activist Ali Akbar.

The group’s website NotMittRomney.com launched this week. Akbar said that although the group is open to becoming a political action committee in the future, right now they are focused on becoming an online gathering place for the anti-Romney movement.

Cain, speaking at CNBC‘s Republican presidential debate in Michigan, was referencing a Republican health reform plan that stalled in committee because “Princess Nancy sent it” there.
