Herman Cain won’t give an inch. He holds to tough positions under media fire.
Nobel Peace Prize Winner Starts Fifth War
Apparently deciding one ongoing, undeclared war was not enough, our president of peace has committed 100 U.S. soldiers to central Africa to fight the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). That announcement came Friday, two days after deployment. In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner on Friday, Barack Obama wrote “the U.S. forces are combat-equipped,” but — not to worry — “they will only be providing information, advice, and assistance to partner nation forces, and they will not themselves engage LRA forces unless necessary for self-defense.” The president asserted that his action was taken in “furtherance of the Congress’s stated policy,” citing the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009, which encourages greater “military” cooperation to defeat the LRA. However, he concluded, “I have directed this deployment, which is in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.” This has some questioning whether this is a second war-by-decree, following the still-simmering conflict in Libya.
Ironically, Obama closed the letter, “I am making this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution” — an act he is currently violating in Libya.
No, the intervention does not mean Obama is actively targeting Christians for death — although we already did that in our intervention to subject Christian Serbia to the tender mercies of Muslim Kosovars. However, some find the hand of George Soros’ internationalists behind the intervention. Aaron Klein at WND.com notes:
In April 2010 Soros’ International Crisis Group, or ICG, released a report sent to the White House and key lawmakers advising the U.S. military run special operations in Uganda to seek Kony’s capture…
Soros sits in the ICG’s executive board along with Samuel Berger, Bill Clinton’s former national security advisor; George J. Mitchell, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader who served as a Mideast envoy to both Obama and President Bush; and Javier Solana, a socialist activist who is NATO’s former secretary-general as well as the former foreign affairs minister of Spain.
Jimmy Carter‘s national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is the ICG’s senior advisor.
The ICG’s president emeritus is Gareth Evans, who, together with activist Ramesh Thakur, is the original founder of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, with the duo even coining the term “responsibility to protect.”

Romney Hasn’t Earned the GOP Nomination
By Aaron Goldstein (American Spectator): Notwithstanding the fact that not a single ballot has been cast in any of the Republican primaries, there seems to be a concerted effort by the liberal media to bestow the GOP nomination upon former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
According to the Detroit Free Press, “Mitt Romney’s steady-as-she-goes campaign for the presidential nomination is beginning to look inevitable.” The Washington Post tells us that Romney “is suddenly attracting new support from major donors and elected officials… as people across the GOP grow more accepting of the presidential contender as the party’s standard-bearer.” Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times declares, “It’s beginning to look as if the former Massachusetts governor will win the nomination almost by default.”
Isn’t it peculiar that Romney is “beginning” to look like the inevitable, Republican nominee at the very moment that Herman Cain is resonating amongst conservatives and surging in the polls? Can the liberal media (and for that matter some GOP donors and elected officials) really be this spooked by Cain? Well, he sure does mess up their “Tea Partiers hate having a black man in the White House” narrative quite nicely. It’s kind of difficult for the liberal media to credibly cast Republicans as racist if they nominate a black man. In fact, casting such aspersions against Tea Partiers would look really, really stupid. Without the Tea Party there would be no Cain surge.
As for Romney, let’s just say he has long way to go before he earns the respect of the Tea Party. At best, Romney is tolerated, as was the case when he received a lukewarm reception at a Tea Party Express rally in New Hampshire last month. At worst, Romney is viewed with outright hostility and suspicion. Back in May, FreedomWorks, a Tea Party umbrella group, stated they were looking to thwart Romney’s path to the GOP nomination. Their communications director Adam Brandon said at the time, “Romney has a record and we don’t really like it that much.” In June, a Tea Party group led by former Alaska GOP Senate candidate Joe Miller launched a “Stop Romney” campaign in New Hampshire. As Miller put it, “We will never get behind Mitt Romney. On issues like gun rights, gay rights, abortion, immigration, and health care, Romney has flipped more than John Kerry flopped.” Earlier this month, another Tea Party organization (this one led by gospel singer Lloyd Marcus) launched its own campaign to “Stop Romney.” Clearly, Romney has his work cut out for him and it’s going to take more than one speech for Tea Party activists to embrace his candidacy.
But this is hardly Romney’s only problem.

TEA partiers must show “newly initiated” the differences between Republicans and conservatives
The Republican establishment will lie to get Mitt Romney, the media’s favorite Republican, our nomination for President. They may be able to fool the “newly initiated” to politics, but they can’t fool us. We know the truth about Romney which is why he is virtually flat lining in TEA party polls. It’ s up to us to teach people the truth. We have to explain the differences between a Republican and a conservative to people new to politics because the Republican establishment and Karl “Tokyo” Rove types will lie to them.
Since few are more zealous than a convert, many of these “newly initiated” Republicans might march in and vote for Romney believing that will make them good Republicans. We can’t let that happen.
The case against Romney
“He can argue any side of a question. And sometimes you think he’s really believing his argument, but he’s not.” Who said that? Ann Romney, his wife!
Mitt Romney has flip flopped on most of the issues we see as deal breakers.
Those include ABORTION
When he ran for Senate in 1994 he said Roe vs Wade should be sustained and supported. Now he says “life begins at conception, …. Roe vs Wade should be overturned.”

Judge Blocks Release of Recusal-Related Emails Kagan Sent WH—Says They’re ‘Personal’
(CNSNews.com) – U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle, a Clinton appointee, has ruled that the Justice Department does not need to release emails Solicitor General Elena Kagan sent from her DOJ email account to people in the White House—in which she discussed her recusal decisions as solicitor general—because the emails were “used for a purely personal objective.”
CNSNews.com and Judicial Watch were seeking public release of the emails through lawsuits filed under the Freedom of Information Act.
The “purely personal objective” cited by the judge was Kagan’s goal of being confirmed to the United States Supreme Court.
At issue is whether Kagan must recuse herself as a Supreme Court Justice when the cases challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare reach the court.
Kagan was the Obama administration’s solicitor general—charged with defending the administration’s positions in federal court cases–at the time President Obama’s health-care plan was enacted and when Virginia and Florida filed lawsuits against that health-care plan in federal court.

Occupy Wall Street is a Menace, Prepare for Violence
Prepare for violence. We remember this crowd.
The year was 1999 and the anarchists descended on Seattle to stop a meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO). We lived there at the time.
Floyd was working as a host at Hot Talk 570 KVI, located in downtown near the “peaceful protests” of the meeting of WTO ministers. Seattle was excited because it was an opportunity to show the new high tech Seattle of the 1990′s that replaced the industrial Seattle of the 1970′s. The City was on the world’s stage.
Early pictures of the protests reminded us of what you see currently camped in Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park. And as in the fall of 1999, the media is there to catalogue the strange beliefs of those involved.
The Seattle protests were called a peaceful group of human rights leaders, students, environmental groups, religious leaders, labor rights activists’ etc., wanting fairer trade with less exploitation. Sounds like the group down on Wall Street.

More DC insanity: Jobs plan offered to pay unemployed $40k per year
By FoxNews.com. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has offered his own $804 billion jobs plan that calls on the federal government to hire the nation’s 15 million unemployed Americans for jobs paying roughly $40,000 each, and bail out all the states and cities facing budget crises.
In an interview with the Daily Caller on Wednesday, the Illinois Democrat applauded President Obama for directing his staff to greenlight job-creating initiatives without congressional approval after his $447 billion jobs bill was defeated in the Senate this week.
“Now we’re making some progress,” Jackson said, comparing the legislative gridlock in Congress to the states that seceded from the union during the Civil War.
“We’ve seen Congress is in rebellion,” he said, “determined to wreck or ruin at all costs.”
Jackson said the government’s direct hiring of the nation’s 15 million unemployed Americans would cost $600 billion.
“It could be a five-year program,” he said. “For another $104 billion, we bail out all of the states. For another $100 billion, we bail out all of the cities.”
“We put people to work cleaning up communities. We put people to work through a civilian conservation corps, through a Works Progress Administration because the hour demands it,” he said.
“And as more people work, they pay taxes, they pay taxes into the 4th quarter, they buy wares, they buy homes, they meet their obligations and our economy begins to work its way out of this protracted recession,” he continued. “That’s the only way out of this crisis. And I hope the president begins to continue to exercise extraordinary constitutional means based on the history of Congresses that have been in rebellion in the past.”

Founding the Flea Party
It’s clear that the Democrats have “party envy,” even as they cast sneering glances at the Tea Party, which everyone assumes to be a primarily Republican organization. With the recent formation of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, some Dems are beginning to see the possibilities of having their own Tea Party-like organization in the hapless shlubs protesting against America’s billionaires.
In the past few days President Obama, Vice-President Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have all weighed in with sympathetic noises about OWS’s aims. Obama stated that he understood where they were coming from, being unemployed and all, while those evil billionaires refused to pay “their fair share” of taxes. Biden claimed that Wall Street has broken “the contract” with the American people, implying that the Street’s greed is responsible for the current economic malaise, while the billionaires’ best friends, the Republicans are blocking the creation of 1.9 million new private sector jobs through opposition to the president’s “Jobs Bill.”
As such, to many top Democrats the OWS crew looks like a winning candidate as the answer to the Tea Party. Except that it isn’t. The Tea Party is comprised of working Americans who want the government to get out of their faces. They are advocates for smaller governments with less spending and more mindful of the Constitution.
OWS, on the other hand, is largely comprised of neutered, over-educated and useless losers, many of whom don’t even know why they’re demonstrating, except that it might wind up somehow providing them with free stuff. Those few “intellectuals” in the OWS crowd who have bothered to articulate some end results can generously be deemed an embarrassment, because their ideas consist largely of warmed over Marxist pap that’s gone out of vogue around the globe, except in places like Venezuela and North Korea. Oh yes, and in the White House as well. And when they aren’t espousing socialist pabulum, they betray a monumental lack of understanding of how the world works, as seen in their demand that all debt be forgiven.
If the Dems do somehow manage to organize this rabble into some sort of coherent organization, I recommend the name “Flea Party” because it has a catchy ring to it, as well as being representative of the organization’s substance.
Flea Party, because their ideas are reminiscent of a flea market or garage sale where you can get old stuff cheap.
Flea Party, because their public presence is akin to a flea circus complete with flea freaks and flea clowns.
Flea Party, because their outdated worldview is evocative of an old, mangy, flea-bitten dog whose best days are long in the past.
