CAIR Leading Social Media Campaign Against Rep. Peter King

Posted on by

By Rosie Johnson on March 16, 2011

During the House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Muslim radicalization last Thursday, Rep. King and other members of the committee exposed CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) in front of a national audience.

Now CAIR is striking back. Yesterday CAIR National posted on its Facebook page:

“We’re starting a coordinated ad campaign. No money required-just 5 minutes of your time. If you have a large facebook or twitter following, or know someone who does, please reply asap.”

It was a call to action. An email campaign telling Congressman Peter King essentially t to back off. CAIR is planning on flooding FB and Twitter with a call to action to ask for  Representative Kings resignation  on Monday, 3/21/11 at 10 am. We must not let them be the trending topic of the day.

Obama’s Policy Unmasked

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen on March 15, 2011

As the Middle East continues to fall into a state of mass despair and as our gas prices continue to rise, many have asked; What IS our policy in the region? It’s not only a valid question…it’s a darn good one too.

It started in Tunisia when their government toppled after a popular uprising. The Obama administration seemed to be caught flat footed. Giving the benefit of the doubt, it DID happen quickly and the build-up was pretty quiet. What appeared to be a situation of being unaware probably was just that. Honestly. I don’t think anybody saw it coming.

Top 10 ways to tell if you might be a member of a public-sector union
By David Letterman

10.) You take a week off to protest in Wisconsin and your office runs better.

9.) On a snow day when they say “non-essential” people should stay home you know who they mean.

8.) You get paid twice as much as a private sector person doing the same job but make up the difference by doing half as much work.

7.) It takes longer to fire you than the average killer spends on death row.

6.) The worse you do your job, the more your boss avoids you.

Par for the Course?

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen on March 14, 2011

Over the years, many people have questioned the number of “vacations” or trips, our president’s take. Usually, those doing the questioning are of the opposite part as the sitting president. That is to be expected and that said, the question again begs to be answered. Is Obama taking too many days off and or too many trips?

I have no problem with a president who from time to time, takes a few days to get away from Washington. Arguably, the job is the most difficult on earth. Presidents have always taken working vacations just to recharge the mental batteries. Camp David, the ranch, the Vineyard, Kennebunkport all have been, in recent history, the favorite retreats for presidents. They go, relax and work away from the confines of the oval office, entertain foreign leaders, run the affairs of state and clear their heads. I’m okay with that. I get it.

Obama on the other hand seems to have elevated the practice to a level which defies rational explanation. During the first year of his presidency, Obama went from country to country on what many on the right deemed the apology tour. It seemed that no sooner would he get back from apologizing for the greatness of America in one overseas destination, he would be off to another to extend our apologies to another. Bowing to this leader and scraping to that one, on and on it went. Now, one COULD claim that these trips were diplomatic in nature but, I challenge them to point to what, exactly, was gained by it all. Those who liked us BEFORE the “We’re sorry we’re great” world tour still liked us and those who didn’t…still don’t.

Moochers Not Producers Protest for Collective Bargaining

By Margaret Smith on March 14, 2011

Private sector workers had a loss of 8 million jobs between 2008 and 2010, but public sector workers, a net gain of 590,000 jobs during that time period. This disparaging difference is not your headline news on MSM, local television, or even your newspapers. Why?  I know, some of you already answered that with – liberals and hypocrisy- or progressives agenda to make this a Nanny country. I will take the answer a step further for you. Unions, because there are TV unions, newspaper unions, you get the picture.

Robin Hood Syndrome

Posted on by

By Jennifer Stephens on March 14, 2011

A lot of Liberals seem to think the Government’s job is to play Robin Hood – take from the rich, and give to the poor. But the Government is not Robin Hood. It can’t be Robin Hood. It shouldn’t be Robin Hood. This isn’t England in the time of Richard the Lionhearted and Prince John. There is no evil Sheriff on Nottingham. We’re stuck with ‘Sheriff Joe’ – which may not be worse, but is definitely more boring.

Entitlement programs are not, I repeat – not, the American Dream. In fact, I’d argue they are harmful to the American Dream. If someone can coast along barely making it, but not working, on welfare, they may take that easy road. Many do take that easy road. That easy road might keep them from accomplishing greatness. What if Steve Jobs or Bill Gates just coasted along on welfare instead of working and accomplishing what they did? What if Regan had just coasted along on welfare instead of working hard to become an actor and President?

Health Care and the Constitution

Posted on by

By Margaret Smith , March 11, 2011

Majority of Americans new that Obama Care was not constitutional. Common sense alone tells you that our government cannot compel its citizens to purchase a product. Yet, it did not stop the progressive Congress from passing Health care Act (Obama Care) into law. Americans marched and their voices were not being heard. So the legal battles started. The states took to the federal courts requesting a ruling regarding the constitutionality of ObamaCare. The federal courts are even in their decisions, 2-2.  One of those decisions is causing uproar in the Department of Justice in Washington. A multi-state lawsuit that was filed with the state of Florid in search of a ruling on the Constitutionality of Obama Care or some may refer it to Health Care Act.  Judge Roger Vinson declared that the whole Obama Care was unconstitutional.6 Americans were elated. Finally some common sense was appearing. What happens now?

Second Amendment Rights

Posted on by

By Jennifer Stephens on March 11, 2011

The last couple days there’s been a story on the news about an ‘intruder’ who broke into someone’s house to steal things, and then called 911 on himself. He was afraid the home owner might shoot him. I can only imagine the Liberal outrage if the home owner had shot the intruder – even though it would have been perfectly legal. The arguments would run something like this: Breaking and entering isn’t a capital crime, and neither is burglary.

And that is true. But when someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night you don’t know if they are a thief, a kidnapper, or a mass murderer. And if an unknown intruder is sneaking towards your baby’s nursery, or the room where your children are sleeping? What parent wouldn’t do anything necessary to protect their child(ren)? The Law understands this, and makes self defense legal.
