Jay Carney’s Shocking Statement During Tense Exchange With Reporters: Newly Released White House Emails ‘Not About Benghazi’ | TheBlaze.com: “

The emails and the talking points were not about Benghazi,” Carney told reporters Wednesday. “They were about the general situation in the Muslim world where you saw, as you might recall, it was explicitly not about Benghazi, it was about the overall situation in the region, the Muslim world, where we saw protests outside of embassy facilities across the region.”

New White House Emails Reveal Effort to Portray Benghazi Attack as Being ‘Rooted’ in an ‘Internet Video,’ Protect President’s Re-Election | TheBlaze.com:
"Several top White House staffers, including political strategist David Plouffe and press secretary Jay Carney, were involved in these emails, some of which were circulated just a day before then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on television to blame the attacks on a YouTube video.
The “goal” going forward, one Rhodes email said, is “to underscore that these protests are rooted in [an] Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.”

The 41 new Benghazi-related State Department documents released Tuesday show that Rice received her talking points directly from the highest reaches of Obama’s inner circle."

Bait and Switch

By Tammy Derouin

We live in a transformed country.  Our values and way of life are under attack.  If a disease invades an individual, that person goes into overdrive to save himself.  You don’t feed the invader and make it stronger.  That would be insane.  You weaken it and put it in the crosshairs.  You destroy it. The desire to live really kicks in and becomes the focus.  It doesn’t matter if the treatment is risky.  If it means surviving, it’s worth the risk.  What do you have to lose?

Why is it so different for our country?  A once healthy and prosperous nation has been weakened by a life threatening disease.  For too many years we ignored the symptoms.  Years of neglect has taken its toll.  We were warned by other countries not to follow their path.  Did we listen?  We had so many examples of what would happen if we allowed the government to have too much power.  Did we learn? 

How did we end up on life support?  Greedy, power hungry individuals with an unhealthy desire to control others studied history.  Progressives have masked themselves as friends of the poor and those with special interest.  Any group of people who has a cause which could lead to more government control, they’ll befriend.  They’ve even been known to just up and change their mind on views and issues; bait and switch.

Government assistance enslaves people.  What began as temporary assistance has become an entitlement.  The more the government gives away, the more control it receives.  People begin to believe they can’t help themselves.  They feel they need the government to support them. 

How many years did progressives run the City of Detroit?  Look what happened.  A once healthy and prosperous city has fallen victim to the bling of government assistance at all levels.  It only made the problem worse.  The city went from healthy, to sick, to life support.  Now the fed wants to bail out Detroit, using the same medicine that made it sick in the first place. 

Ideals can also fall victim to failure.  Progressives like to cling to their science and mathematics like Christians cling to their God and guns.  When are they going to figure out that certain ideas don’t work?  No matter how many times history has proven that socialism and communism doesn’t work, they keep trying.  I guess they have faith.  This time they’ll get it right or so they say.  Isn’t faith the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen?  I mean if the math doesn’t add up, the science is fuzzy and history paints a pretty dismal picture, yet you still believe, that’s faith.  I wonder if they know where that ideal originated.

I find it interesting that progressives are pro-choice on every issue unless you disagree with them.  To disagree with their choice makes you guilty of something.  If you are not pro-choice on the “fetus” issue you are now anti-women.  If a woman chooses to stay home and raise her children, she has somehow turned back the hands of time and has betrayed all females.  If you choose to be a Christian in our Christian nation, you are an extremist.  If you choose to own a gun because it’s your God given right, you are a radical.  If you choose to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman you are homophobic and full of hate.  If you choose to distrust and not blindly accept everything the government feeds you, you are a radical extremist who has become a government target.

I also find it interesting that our Executive has not only stated that we are no longer a Christian nation, but he has befriended anti-Christian enemies of the United States.  He has waged war on American Christians and their beliefs, mocking and insulting them.  His friends, our enemies, want to destroy America.  This isn’t a secret they try to hide.  He has befriended groups and causes such as women’s issues and gay rights.  Does anybody else find it disturbing that these vote getting groups are not tolerated by our enemies, the Executive’s friends?  The Executive is familiar with bait and switch.  It has worked so well for him in the past, why stop now?

Our country has been invaded with a life threatening disease and the Executive feeds it, making it stronger.  He has intentionally weakened our nation and allowed the disease to spread.  Such insane behavior should be checked.  The desire to live free will kick in and become the focus.  Will surviving and living free be worth the  inevitable risk?  What will you have to lose?

“We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have communism.”

That is especially true considering the target is primarily known as one of the fiercest critics of President Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton, the latter considered the Democrat’s leading presidential contender in 2016.
When the IRS stripped the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty, or PHC, of its tax-exempt status, it did not cause splashy headlines and a chorus of the nation’s leading conservatives did not howl in protest.
However, the IRS’ revocation of the center’s 501(c)(3) status may have been the most audacious power play yet by the left in its use of the department to wage war on conservatives."

American middle-income families have lost nearly $3,000 in purchasing power since 2007, and the left’s only solution to get us out of the rut is more debt, more social-welfare spending, more income redistribution and higher taxes on the rich and big business."

Common Core and Communism

Common Core and Communism:
"The central theme of these “science standards” is to teach that we should be reducing our use of fossil fuels, the primary energy sources our nation and the world requires. What these standards do in reality is repeat and reinforce federal government laws and regulations to justify its CO2 emissions regulations based on the current method of computing the Social Cost of Carbon, but these “costs” are pure fiction. 
None of the computer models that have predicted global warming over the past four decades have been accurate. None are capable of representing the state of the Earth’s vastly complex climate.

Four Points From Scalia’s Scathing Dissent in Supreme Court Ruling to Allow Searches Based on Anonymous Tips | TheBlaze.com:

“A freedom-destroying cocktail.”

That’s how Justice Antonin Scalia characterized Tuesday’s Supreme Court ruling that law enforcement officers may pull over and search drivers based solely on an anonymous tip.
Supreme Court justices upheld a case in which an anonymous tip led police to pull over a car without seeing evidence of a crime themselves.
The justices ruled 5-4 Tuesday to uphold a traffic stop in northern California in which officers subsequently found marijuana in the vehicle. The officers themselves did not see any evidence of the tipped reckless driving, which was interpreted as drunkenness, even after following the truck for several minutes."

"As America celebrated Earth Day Tuesday, Barack Obama marked the occasion by emitting about 15 times more carbon – in one trip – than the average American releases in an entire year.
According to reports, he began the day with a cross-country flight from the nation’s capital to Washington State. That trip sent out an estimated 568,032 pounds of carbon into the atmosphere. Ordinary citizens, on the other hand, are responsible for creating about 38,000 pounds of carbon each year.
That trip, however, was just the beginning of Obama’s pollution-heavy schedule. "

Pints and Quarts

During the years the Constitution was being drafted and when our country was in its infancy, the taverns were another gathering place to discuss the role of government.  A place where most go to escape the weight of reality became a place to exchange thoughts and ideas.

Of course, it really shouldn't be a surprise that the hot topic of the day would be which form of government our founders would draft. It shouldn't be surprising that people would take an interest and discuss the pros and cons of what was taking place. Gone were the days of the ruling King of England. Ties had been severed. There would be many benefits and some hardships to overcome. With freedom comes responsibility. We declared our freedom, fought for the right to claim it and then had to figure out how we were going to survive without the protective shield of the motherland.

We were a new country which was about to prove to the world it was possible to live free.  We would become the exception to the rule.  The wolves were at the door. We were challenged in 1812, in our infancy, but the will to live free was still strong. We had to work to survive as individuals and as a country. The government wasn't going to do it for us. The entitlements were life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Debates would take place among the founders and among the towns’ people.  What would be the role of government?  Would we control it or would it control us?   Thankfully, the answer came in the form of positive liberties; what the government couldn’t do or shouldn’t do on behalf of the people.

I recently joined a breakfast group where the issues of the day are discussed. Politics is the center of discussion. I love to listen to the debates. When a particular topic has run its course and there are differing opinions, someone will usually say, we can agree to disagree. Political views are as different as each individual. We are all different with unique experiences. We are not going to agree on every aspect of every issue. The discussion turned from politics to process.

No system of government is perfect.  What's important is the process we follow. The Constitution was a gift to future generations, a blueprint to guide us and prevent tyranny from devouring us. It's a well thought out plan that our founders drafted and agonized over as they established our system of government. How ingenious; a system where no one person or party rules over all. A governing system was created where power would be divided among several branches. Each branch has the power to check the power of the other and then take action to balance any over reach of power.

There is a process for a reason. The executive branch doesn't have the power to make laws. It has the power to enforce the laws. When the executive issues orders or mandates because it takes too long to go through Congress, the executive has taken liberties that aren't his to take. The balance has been altered. Going around Congress to get something done is following an agenda, not the Constitution.  Issuing orders and mandates without following the guidelines amounts to a king making a proclamation...Hear ye, hear ye by the order of... And having such orders posted and enforced throughout the land.  That’s called tyranny.  That's why we declared our independence. No one person could determine the course of every man, woman and child.

It really shouldn’t be difficult to imagine the discussion of our system of government over pints and quarts. Can you imagine walking into the modern day equivalent?  The loud table over in the corner is discussing the Constitution and how the process is supposed to work.  The walls are now covered with televisions.  Sports, advertisements and Keno have become the backdrop while getting together with friends.   I’m not saying it’s bad.  Everyone needs a distraction and to kick back and relax among friends.

Well, it was too early for ale but we were discussing the Constitution and its original intent over coffee and eggs.  I couldn’t hold back the smile when questions were asked by some, answered by others and then checked by referring to the Constitution.  There were at least three people in our group checking the Constitution on cell phones.

We are losing our freedoms because we’re allowing the government to take too many liberties.  We have the blueprint to get back on track but we must follow the correct process.  It takes a long time for a bill to become a law, and with good reason.  The process prevents the will of one from dictating to all others.

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”


Thomas Jefferson
