THIS WAS THE 3:00AM PHONE CALL

During the 2006 campaign Hillary Clinton asked who you’d want to take the 3:00am phone call, her or Obama. Well, Benghazi was the 3:00am phone call and both of them failed..….miserably…..dishonestly……. immorally.

What we do know is that Benghazi was so dangerous that after an attempt on his life the English Ambassador evacuated back to England. What we do know is that Ambassador Stevens asked for more security several times and it was denied. Not only was it denied but what they had was reduced. Why? Why would we deny our Ambassador the security he needed and then reduce what he did have? What is the justification? The Democrats try to tell you it was because of budget cuts but during the Senate hearings we were told by a representative of the State Department that money was never an issue (BTW, he has been demoted. That’s what happens in this administration when you tell the truth). And since the “sequester” happened after Benghazi AND is only a cut to the increase in the budget not the actual budget, the denial of more security can’t be blamed on funding. We also hear there are so many e-mails the Secretary of State can’t possibly see them all and lower level staff is responsible for the denial of more security. Do you actually think an Ambassador couldn’t get the Secretary on the phone? Or that there isn’t a system in place that makes some e-mails have more priority than others? Or that an Ambassador can’t contact the Pentagon or military commands in the area? If those things aren’t possible our leaders are too incompetent to serve.

We’ve also been told by the Democrats that there was no point in sending help because it couldn’t get there in time. Really?…….Really? Does the Pentagon have a secret fortune telling program we don’t know about? How did they know how long the attack would continue? I understand we had troops in Tripoli that were ready to go. That’s, what, an hour away? Then there were troops in Italy and Croatia that were less than three hours away. Since when do we not even try? Since when do we leave men on the battlefield? Apparently this was unacceptable to an Admiral and a General and they were relieved of duty on the spot. We’re being told an “assessment” was made and it was determined that help couldn’t get to Benghazi in time. The idea that we can’t get military help to any location within seven hours is absurd. At least we try.

Obama said when he learned what happened he gave three directives. First was to do whatever necessary to secure the personnel. But that didn’t happen, did it? Either his direct order wasn’t obeyed or he never gave that order. If his order wasn’t obeyed why is no one in trouble? It’s very serious to not obey a direct order. Second he was going to investigate what happened and see that it never happened again. Really? He used the word “happened” when it was “happening” and he knew what was happening. It was a planned and organized al-Qaeda attack on the anniversary of 9/11. It was a predictable event. It wouldn’t have happened if the Ambassador had been given the security he requested and it will happen again if future Ambassadors are refused the proper security. That means American military with bullets in their weapons. Apparently we’re so concerned about offending the middle eastern countries that we hire their people as security. How stupid is that? How do you know they’re on our side? Would they take a bullet to save an American life? How dare we send Americans in harms way without the proper security.

And third he was going to find who did this and bring them to justice. The man who produced the video is in prison for parole violations, not for making a video but have we found the terrorists responsible for the attacks? No.

This morning (5-13-13) Obama held a press conference and lied AGAIN. He once again repeated the lie that he said Benghazi was a terrorist attack the day after the attack. No, he didn’t. We have the transcript of the speech he gave and he said we would go after terrorism but he DID NOT say Benghazi was terrorism AND if he had why did he allow Ambassador Rice to go on five programs and say it was a video? If she “mis-spoke” on his behalf why didn’t he go on television the next day and say so? And why did he tell the victims families it was a video…..and weeks later the UN?

What we ALSO know about Benghazi is that the President of Libya called Mr. Hicks and informed him that Ambassador Stevens was dead. Mr. Hicks then called Secretary of State Clinton to inform her. Even though she knew the Ambassador was missing, she didn’t take the call and never returned it. Really? The fate of the Ambassador was of no interest to her? And where was the President during all this? He went to bed? He is the Commander-in-chief. The military would not stand down unless he gave that order. It is not in the training or nature of our military to stand down when Americans are under attack. Apparently the fate of the Ambassador was also of no interest to the President. He flew off to a fundraiser in Las Vegas with Beyonce and Jay Z without finding out what happened to the Ambassador OR calling the Ambassador’s family and offering condolences.

Hillary dramatically asked, “What difference now does it make” if it was a spontaneous protest due to an offensive video or a group of men out for a walk who decided to kill a few Americans. What? Neither of those scenarios were what happened…….and she knew it. It makes a BIG difference to America, Madame Secretary. If we don’t identify our enemy we can’t fight them. I understand we know exactly who was responsible and I understand they are living in plain sight in the middle east. Wasn’t one of Obama and Clinton’s promises that they would find those involved and prosecute them? The men who carried out the attack don’t appear to be concerned. Hillary Clinton looked the families of the four men killed in Benghazi in the eye and told them they would get the producer of the video and prosecute him KNOWING he had nothing to do with the terrorist attack.

Neither Obama or Clinton deserve to hold office or take 3:00am phone calls. They have shamed this country and discredited the offices they hold. They are either the most incompetent people ever to hold office or they are Saul Alinsky followers who lie as easily as they breath in order to further their agenda.

HATING BREITBART

Last night I went to a screening of “Hating Breitbart”. It’s a documentary made the year before he died. Andrew had not asked for final approval or any restrictions on the filming. That was gutsy. But he replied when asked if it was wise, that it wouldn’t be a documentary if it weren’t real. That was Andrew Breitbart. No filters.

It was encouraging to see the response to this documentary. The theater was “sold out”. People with no tickets were gathered at the theater hoping to find someone with an extra. Before the screening the producer said another theater was being opened to accommodate those who couldn’t get in.

The audience included so many of the local Conservative activists, friends and associates of Andrews as well as his in-laws, Orson Bean and Allie Mills. We all felt his loss deeply. There is no one like Andrew Breitbart. No one with his passion, courage, charisma and……..Chutzpah. As Andrew said, he had two modes, jocular or righteous indignation…….and his righteous indignation was something to behold.

The audience cheered and applauded as they watched Andrew take on the issues. The film covers his involvement in bring down ACORN, Shirley Sharrod, Anthony Weiner (SO good) and his challenge to the Media to prove the “N” word was made to Congressman John Lewis. Breitbart asked a reporter if he believed the numerous videos of the incident that show no evidence of such a claim. It was also claimed that the Congressmen were surrounded by hundreds of angry protestors to the point the Capitol police were concerned for the Congressmen’s safety. There are videos of the incident from about six different POV’s that show no such thing but the reporter said he believed the Congressmen’s claims. He said he considered them credible. So the reporter just gave the Congressmen carte blanche to lie as often as they want and he will never question their “credibility” even when the evidence shows they are lying. This is what the media has come to.

If the Congressmen felt so threatened by the protestors you’d think they’d avoid them, wouldn’t you? There are tunnels under the Capitol that connect all the office buildings to the Capitol. There was no reason for the Congressmen to go in and out of the buildings through the crowds. And they did it numerous times that day. The film pointed that out.

I was there at the Canon Building that day. I was taking that group of protestors down into the tunnels to lobby the Congressmen as they passed back and forth to the Capitol. I was at the top of the steps just about to enter the building. We were all chanting “Kill the Bill”. No one used the “N” word. Jesse Jackson Jr. was at the back of the group with two, count them, TWO cameras video taping the entire thing.

While in the tunnels, I was identified to the Commander of the Capitol Police as the one in charge of the protestors. He came to me and introduced himself and told me we were welcome there. He asked that we keep our voices down because it echoed down there and to please stay against the walls so as not to block the hallways. I told him to have his officers let me know if there were any problems and I’d take care of it. He said, “Oh, I’m not worried about you folks. I’ve never had to arrest one of you and you always clean up after yourselves”. Does this sound like a man who thought we had been threatening the Congressmen not 15 minutes earlier?

On top of that I have pictures of Congressman John Lewis coming through the tunnels ALONE…….TWICE while we were there. If we were so threatening why would he do that? Andrew had it right, they kept going through the crowds hoping to incite us to do something they could use to discredit us. We didn’t take the bait, so they made it up. There are dozens of videos of that day with the members of the black caucus going in and out of the buildings through the crowds. In this day and age, everyone has a camera. Breitbart, while speaking to a crowd, asked them all to hold up their cameras and smart phones and it was a SEA of cameras and phones.

Andrew would not give up on an issue and would not be intimidated. There was no filter on Andrew. He said what needed to be said and he didn’t give a rats ass if it got him in trouble. He didn’t want to silence anyone and he would not be silenced. He was a big, warm teddy bear of a man. He is deeply, overwhelmingly missed.

A PRESIDENTIAL TANTRUM

I just witnessed a President throw a tantrum on national television. I can’t recall ever seeing a less Presidential event. What an embarrassment. And what a self-obsessed, dishonest speech. Obama said it was a “shameful day in for Washington”. Yes, it was because I’ve never seen a President of the United States act so shamefully….so lacking statesmanship.

Obama said the Nation took up the cause to stop the senseless slaughter of children. No, the “Nation” didn’t. HE did. His greatest desire is to disarm the country and he believed the Sandy Hook tragedy was his chance to get that done. After all, he wouldn’t like a crisis go to waste. He paraded the families of the Sandy Hook children across the national stage and even had the teary daughter of the Principal give his weekly address. He had his “Organizing for America” sponsor Anti-Gun Rallies across the country right before the vote. He said a small minority prevented this bill from passing. Once again, no, it was a majority that included Democrats. Apparently, more Senators understood what “infringed” means than didn’t. It’s refreshing to know at least 54 Senators care about protecting our Constitutional rights.

Obama raged against gun lobbies (NRA) saying they frightened Senators into believing they would face primary challenges if they voted for the bill. I would hope any Senator who voted against our Constitutional protections would face a primary challenge. If the Senators who voted against the bill did so because they were afraid of “We the People” that’s OK with me. They should be afraid. They are elected to serve us, not the other way around.

The Anti-Gun lobby kept saying 90% of America supported expanded background checks. I don’t know where they get this information because millions of Americans signed petitions, faxed, e-mailed, and called DC to protect our gun rights. Millions joined the NRA even if they didn’t own a gun. And millions more held pro-gun rallies across the country.

Obama didn’t get his way and that’s what he’s upset about. If he were concerned with children being slaughtered he’d want to prevent the Kermit Gosnells of the world from cutting the spines of full term babies. He’d be concerned with the nearly 4000 abortions performed a day in this country. If preventing deaths was his goal, armed guards at schools, hospitalization of dangerously insane and securing our border would be more effective than taking guns from law abiding citizens.

Obama said gun lobbies “willfully lied” about the consequences of background checks…..while he “willfully lied” that they would have done anything to prevent the recent events. If there had been an armed guard at Sandy Hook those sweet children would be in the arms of their families right now instead of the arms of angels.

THE DEMONIZATION OF WHITE PEOPLE

I’m very alarmed at a trend that is happening in this country. We’ve been witnessing the demonization of wealthy people, now we are seeing a demonization of white people.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2memLRCTmS8

This was MANDATORY “Sensitivity Training” given to the USDA. In these sessions the attendees are required to chant things like, “Thank you, black man”, “Pilgrims were illegal aliens”, “Pilgrims didn’t show their passports”, etc. It’s a false position to begin with. America was not a country with laws of any kind, let alone immigration laws. Primitive nomadic people were the only inhabitants. There was nothing illegal about the pilgrims settling there. Through out the history of the world man has explored and discovered new lands. It is the nature of man.

We hear these days that the Constitution is outdated because it was written by old white men. Why are white people being condemned for settling this country, fighting for it’s independence and designing a Constitution that created the most successful country with the highest standard of living for even it’s poorest in the world? Our Constitution is the oldest in the world because it can’t change overnight when a new President takes office. The media says our Constitution is old and outdated. Outdated? How is freedom outdated? Our Constitution designed a government that protected our God given rights, not one that gave us our rights. How is that “outdated”. The Constitution created three branches of government, each as important as the other and that made us a stable country. That’s why we’ve been so successful. Everyone of the the citizens of this country is better off than they would have been had they not come here. Why do you think people have risked their lives to come to America. Why do you think more than twice the number of people immigrate here every year than all the other countries in the world combined……because we’re so unfair and unjust?

On the Rush Limbaugh show the other day a young woman called in and said she was in college studying to be a teacher and that part of the program was to accept that all white people are racist even if they don’t think they are. Apparently that is necessary because many of our grade schools are teaching that. Some colleges have entire programs that teach being white is unfair. We are to believe and accept that we are racist and unfair because of the color of our skin. http://www.wnd.com/2009/04/94600/ http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/06/21/not-fair-to-be-white-see-the-unbelievable-new-campaign-sponsored- by-the-university-of-minnesota-duluth/

What an unbelievably offensive claim. If whites are racist and don’t know it, what can be done about it? How do you change how you feel if you don’t feel that way? Are white people to step aside for minorities for the rest of time because it’s been deemed unfair to be white? Are we not to be given credit for building the most successful country in the world, for freeing the slaves and passing civil rights? Have white people really done nothing for minorities?

The civil rights movement was happening when I was in High School. I marched for civil rights. I wrote a piece for our year book against segregation. I had gone from a 100% white Junior High School to a High School that was about half white and I never noticed. In fact I never thought of Mexicans as being a different race…..a different nationality, yes, but not a different race. My feelings about anyone has always been based on their behavior not their race. But, according to the Left, I’m a racist.

I am so sick of hearing about everything being “unfair”. All of us, ALL of us face obstacles and, yes, discrimination in our lives. Sometimes for no discernible reason. It’s a waste of time to rage against it. People need to find a way to overcome whatever obstacles they face because it IS possible. It has been my experience that those who determine to succeed, do, no matter their race or religion. Just ask the ever growing list of successful minorities. Being white isn’t “fair”? Oh, GROW UP!

A CONSENSUS OF WHAT SCIENTISTS?

Lets be clear about something. Science isn’t decided by consensus. It’s decided by provable fact, by tests that produce the same results every time. Global Warming or Climate Change is based on computer models. The accuracy of computer models is based on the information entered into the study. Garbage in, garbage out. Computer models are so unreliable they aren’t admissible in court as evidence. A “consensus” is a majority of people agreeing on some hypothesis which means not all of them agree. Does that mean those that disagree are wrong or just outnumbered?

So who are the scientists that President Obama, Al Gore and most of the main stream media claim agree that man is causing Global Warming? It’s the IPCC….INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE. The IPCC is a United Nations panel, chosen and funded by the United Nations. The United Nations former Secretary General, Maurice Strong said, “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? And isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” How better to collapse industrialized nations than to restrict their use of energy? After all our entire economy is based on the use of abundant, cheap energy. Considering that is their goal, who might they name as members of the IPCC? You’ll have a hard time finding the number of scientists in the IPCC or who they are. The number I’ve seen most often is around 600. We know who some of them are because they have spoken publicly. Some have appeared in documentaries to expose what they consider the fraud of Global Warming. But, understand, the 90% of scientists they are talking about are 90% of the 600 IPCC scientists NOT 90% of all the scientists in the world. But if man causing Global Warming were fact and all studies produced the same results wouldn’t 100% of scientists agree? There are over 31,000 scientists who signed a petition saying man was not causing Global Warming. This fact is never discussed by Al Gore, this administration or the media. Check for yourself http://www.petitionproject.org. These scientists are listed by name.

We know Phil Jones and Michael Mann were members. The computer model used is Phil Jones study. He was exposed in the Climategate e-mails to have manipulated data and intimidated peer publications not to publish studies that disagreed with his. He couldn’t give the date he based his model on because it was “not well organized enough”. We are going to reorder our entire way of living based on “not well organized” data that was admittedly manipulated? Jones resigned from the IPCC and his position at the University of East Anglia. He admitted that there had been “no statistically-significant global warming since 1995″. LOOK IT UP!

There is also Stephen Schneider. He is the scientist who said in 1974 that the world was going to freeze over by 2000 and we were all going to starve. Later he became a member of the IPCC and claimed man was causing the polar caps to melt and we were all going to drown. He appears in a documentary called “Cool It” about a young Danish environmentalist, Bjorn Lomborg, who believed if man was causing any warming it wasn’t catastrophic and could be adjusted to. Schneider condemned Lomberg in the documentary but says, “we have to give scary scenarios in order to get funding”. There you are.

When there is so much evidence that man has no effect on Global Warming or the climate, why won’t this administration, Al Gore and the media drop it and why do so many people believe it?
Well, it’s been demonstrated time and again, if you repeat a lie over and over people will believe it. The bigger the lie the more they believe it. Most people are responsible citizens and don’t want dirty air or water. Neither do I. But we have the cleanest air and water in the world. We have it because we have abundant energy to keep it clean. Coal plants have been developing ways to produce “clean coal” energy but this administration is closing down our coal plants instead of letting them developing their technology. At the same time China is building a new coal plant everyday with no such concerns about “clean coal”. Coal produces 45% of our energy needs. 45% of our energy is being shut down with NO viable replacement. And, BTW, the making of solar panels and wind turbines uses more energy and produces more waste than they save. They are also much more expensive and less reliable. The general public knows next to nothing about science, so it is understandable that when they are constantly being told they are causing the end of the world they would fear for their children’s futures. The trouble is, it’s not true.

There have been great advances in the technology in Nuclear power. Liberals scared us out of building anymore Nuclear plants (Thank you, “Clear and Present Danger”) when it is the safest and cleanest energy. The technology has advanced to the point it is possible to burn 100% of the fuel rods which solves the problem of what to do with the waste. In the over 60 years we have had Nuclear power, there have been three incidents and fewer deaths than any other form of energy. But we aren’t building Nuclear plants. No, the ONLY plan is regulating CO2. Why?

Another goal of the United Nations is redistribution of wealth. The money we are throwing at wind and solar (mostly to foreign nations) is a good start. So is our giving money to other countries to drill for oil in our Gulf and promising to be their first customer….while not allowing us to drill. The United Nations goal is world wide Economic, Social and Environmental Equality. They believe the only way to raise the standard of living of third world countries is to lower ours. How could they get us to go along with that unless they made us believe our lifestyle was destroying the world? The bigger the lie the more people believe it.

THE BIG GREEN FRAUD

I wrote a blog on Global Governance recently and some kind soul cut and pasted the Liberal argument to calm our fears of Agenda 21. You know the, “move on, nothing to see here” meme. It said Agenda 21 wasn’t a treaty and we weren’t legally bound by it. Ahhhh, yes, I know. I pointed that out the first time I wrote about Agenda 21. A treaty would have to be ratified…..which would have meant public debate and it would have been passionately rejected. It said ICLEI was nothing to fear, it was just a program for clean air and water and sustainable resources. We all want clean air and water, don’t we? We all want our resources protected, don’t we? See, nothing to worry about, go back to your gardening and let us take care of things.

Let me assure you, Agenda 21 is real and being implemented through every Cabinet Department, ICLEI and the EPA. For those of you still unconvinced, just look at Santa Monica, California. There are apartment buildings going up right now that have no parking. The City Council has proposed that parking be limited in the entire area. They want to reduce commercial parking by 75%. They want grocery stores to have only 10 spaces. Think about that, 10 spaces for employees AND customers!

Do you doubt they are trying to force us our of our cars? Or that Obama is helping by causing energy prices to “skyrocket”. Remember when gas prices were high during the Bush administration? Reporters were out at gas stations asking people how they could afford to fill our cars. Liberals were demanding “windfall” taxes on oil companies. Everyone was demanding the President do something. Where are they now? They are fine with the prices now. Progressives are trying to force us on to public transportation without any viable public transportation in place. There are only buses. If you lived in Santa Monica and worked in Hollywood it would take you hours to get to work. If your children lived in the San Fernando Valley, it would take you hours and several buses to visit them. If you live a mile from the closest grocery store how will you bring home groceries? Bike? What if you are 75 and live alone?

But don’t worry. All our transportation funding is going to trains and bike lanes for the next 30 years. And these things are 30 years away. What do we do in the meantime? Have you heard citizens calling for trains and bike lanes the last 20 years? I haven’t. So why are all our cities obsessed with trains and bikes? Agenda 21. It calls for us all to be relocated into cities, into apartments along transportation corridors. No private single family homes (except for the elite). Is that what you want? Did anyone ask you what you want?

I live in a condo and personally I hate it….and I like it less everyday. I used to have a great neighbor but he bought a house and moved. Then many of the condos empty due to the housing crash were turned into section 8 housing. My new neighbors fight and bang on the walls and don’t take care of their apartment. The HOA is constantly passing rules I don’t like. I want a yard and space and no one telling me how to live. There is a new program being rolled out by HUD that mandates “very low income” minorities be moved into middle class and upper middle class neighborhoods. Bussing didn’t work so like most Liberal ideas, instead of accepting it didn’t work, they double down on it. Do you really think we’re all going to be buddies if we are forced to live together? It actually causes more divisiveness. These policies go against everything we know about psychology and sociology.

But lets look at the rest of the world. In Australia, their population is less than California’s and their landmass is greater than Europe’s yet their water and energy is being rationed. Farmers who have farmed for 40, 50 years on the same farm, dug their own wells at their own expense on their own land have recently had meters put on their water and now have to pay for it. They also have built reservoirs that catch rain water but those aren’t theirs anymore either. Their neighbors are miles away and they aren’t infringing on their neighbors water but it doesn’t matter. Australia has such a low population they have more resources than they could ever use but it is now being rationed.

Recently I heard Matt Damon was not going to “go to the bathroom” as long as people in other countries had dirty water. I don’t exactly know what he means by that, maybe that he won’t use a toilet but what stupidity. How does our having clean water prevent any other country from having it too? And why don’t they have clean water? They don’t because they don’t have electricity to pump water or filter it. Why don’t they have electricity? Because their country signed Agenda 21 and it doesn’t allow anything but solar, wind and biofuels and those are the most expensive sources of energy. They should be building dams and using natural gas and oil and coal. America gives most countries foreign aid. Why aren’t their governments using it to bring electricity to their citizens? Electricity is necessary for progress. It’s necessary for clean water. How is it our fault that isn’t happening and what does Matt Damon think he can do about it? How do we force other countries to provide clean water to their citizens?

This entire discussion about “sustainable” resources assumes progress has reached it’s limit. That there is nothing new to be discovered. No new inventions. A filter system has been developed that you can pour paint in it and what will come out is water so pure you could inject it into the body. This would end the need to ration water. Every house could recycle it’s own water. Every free market industry is constantly looking for ways to be more efficient and more economical. That’s because they make more of a profit if they do. Because of that we will find new ways to use cleaner energy more efficiently. I’m all for “alternative” energy but only if it is as abundant and cheap as fossil fuels. And I’m not for limiting energy when there is no viable alternative. Obama said wind power has increased 50% in the last few years….but wind AND solar are still less than 3% of our energy needs and will only be 4% by 2030.

Because people have been being fed propaganda for the last 20 years that we are causing Global Warming, too many think all this needs to be done. Man has no effect on climate. Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” contains NINE “factual inaccuracies” (LIES), Climategate exposed the scientists whose studies this whole Global Warming nonsense was based on were manipulating data and intimidating peer publications not to publish negative peer reviews. Phil Jones, who had to resign from the IPCC over Climategate admitted there had been no “significant increase in temperature in 10 years”. Those things alone should make even true believers question the truth of man causing Global Warming. If it was true, why manipulate data and lie? If Al Gore were a Republican you can bet the media would be all over the lies in his documentary, the hypocrisy of his energy use and his selling Current TV to Al Jazeera, a BIG OIL funded organization. Do what I say, not what I do, just doesn’t cut it!

And why is regulating CO2 the ONLY solution being considered? CO2 has been as much as 16 times higher than it is now and the oceans didn’t rise and the world didn’t end. Even the IPCC (a UN funded and chosen panel) whose studies this fraud is based on admits that regulating CO2 will have little effect on the temperature. So why regulate it? It is a natural gas that is necessary for life. It’s what every living creature breaths out and plants take in. Because regulating CO2 will allow the government to regulate everything we do.

Maurice Strong, the former Secretary General of the United Nations, author of Agenda 21 said, “Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class, involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, air conditioning, and suburban housing – are not sustainable.” He also said, “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” That is the intention of Agenda 21. It IS real and it IS being implemented around the world.

KARL ROVE IS THE PROBLEM

I can’t contain myself. I just listened to Karl Rove on the Michael Medved radio show. They were trashing one of my favorite Congressmen, Steve King of Iowa. He hasn’t even decided to run for the Senate but Karl Rove is already attacking him. I’ve had it! I’ve met Steve King and I’ve seldom met a finer man. I went to Washington twice in four months to lobby against ObamaCare and Steve King fought shoulder to shoulder with Michele Bachmann and the tens of thousands of us who were there. Steve is a true Conservative. He is criticized for being against illegal immigration and gun control. He is also a Christian and a social conservative. Apparently, social conservatives are no longer acceptable to the RNC and Karl Rove.

Medved and Rove ONCE AGAIN publicly condemned Sharron Angle, Todd Akin, Richard Murdock and Christine O’Donnell. Republicans can’t seem to stop condemning these candidates. You would think they committed murder. What did they do that deserves being constantly maligned in public? I’m sick to death of this! I don’t hear Liberals bringing them up every second, only Republicans.

Lets take each one and look at their crimes. Lets start with Todd Akin, the one most often condemned even by Conservatives that I think should know better. He said a woman’s body was capable of shutting down a pregnancy that resulted from a “legitimate” rape. Was it an unfortunate choice of words to use “legitimate”? YES! But he didn’t just make that up. What he said was a widely accepted theory in medical and nursing schools not so long ago. Is it such an outrageous theory? Obviously there is no way to prove a woman’s body could reject a pregnancy due to rape but believing it’s possible is not that outrageous. Our bodies are able to do many miraculous things. There have been numerous cases of people with incurable cancer where it simply disappeared or unsurvivable injuries that people survive. What people took such offense to, in my opinion, was his use of “legitimate rape”. Everyone jumped to the defense of women who have had babies as a result of rape and how dare we suggest it wasn’t “legitimate”. Are we really going to pretend that no woman has ever falsely claimed rape? Really? Todd Akin shouldn’t have said what he said but he misspoke. I don’t believe that is a crime. Nor do I believe it negates the many years he served in Congress.

I met Congressman Akin during one of my trips to DC. He was with Michele Bachmann and Steve King on the balcony outside Congress the night they passed ObamaCare telling us they would continue to fight. The GOP says we need to better vet the candidates. Todd Akin was a six term Congressman and a true Tea Party Conservative. He served 12 years fighting for Conservative values and is repaid by being thrown under the bus by Republicans, not Democrats. When he “misspoke” he was ahead in the polls. Republicans immediately condemned him and withdrew money and support. That wasn’t enough, they spent the rest of the campaign publicly demanding his withdrawal. They continue to blame him for losing that Senate seat. In my opinion, THEY lost that seat. And Karl Rove is MOST responsible for losing it. Rove went on FOX every week condemning Akin and demanding he drop out.

Richard Murdock said if a woman became pregnant it was God’s will. There are millions of people who believe what ever happens is Gods will. I’m not one of them. God gave us free will and we sometimes chose to do the wrong thing. In todays climate, it’s best to stay away from subjects having to do with reproduction, but he didn’t commit a crime. And again, it was the Republican party not the media or Liberals who did the most harm to his campaign. Who can win if their party not only withdraws it’s financial support but publicly demands your withdrawal every chance it gets?

Sharron Angle was characterized as a mental lightweight, completely out of her league. She was neither. She was well educated, a teacher and member of the school board. She had served four terms in the State legislature. She had been praised for her well run legislative campaigns. She was ahead in the race until the very last hours when tens of thousands suddenly decided to vote. It looks like her loss had more to do with the Liberals not wanting to lose Harry Reid and coming up with more “voters” than Sharron being inept.

Now, I concede Christine O’Donnell is a different story. While she was for all the right things and ran a good campaign in the primary, she jumped the shark when she made the “I’m not a witch” commercial. She shouldn’t have dignified the subject. It did make her look dingy. But, still, it was the Republican party who did her the most harm.

Why is the GOP so ready to throw our candidates under the bus? The GOP helped draw Michele Bachmann and Allen West out of their districts and worked just as hard against them as the Liberals did. These are honorable and principled people. They are exactly who we want and need in Congress. They are unwilling to compromise the Constitution or our religious foundation. We need people who aren’t willing to be co-opted by the Washington machine…..and that is exactly why the GOP doesn’t want them.

Liberals don’t do this. Look at Anthony Weiner, John Edwards, Elizabeth Warren, Alan Grayson, Al Frankin, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters, Shirley Jackson Lee, etc. How often have they “misspoken”? The Liberals circle the wagons and defend their candidates no matter what they do…..until they can’t deny it any longer. But even then, they don’t publicly condemn them every chance they get. In fact, they embrace them and see that they get a cushy job.

What did Angle, Akin, O’Donnell and Murdock do to deserve public condemnation every week? Did they murder anyone? Did they tweet their genitals to strangers? Did they have a baby out of wedlock while running for VP? Did they claim to be a minority to get an affirmative action job? Did their closest aide have relatives in the Muslim Brotherhood? Did they help bring on the financial meltdown? Did they have sex with underaged prostitutes?

Karl Rove can go on every show telling us how many Conservatives he supported but he is the problem, not the candidates. He neglects to mention the many RINO’s he supported against the Conservative candidates. And he neglects to mention how fast he appeared on FOX to demand the withdrawal of the Conservative candidates he didn’t like. The candidates he doesn’t like are the ones he and the RNC can’t control. That is why he is campaigning against Steve King before he even decides to run for Senate.

Rove says he wants the most Conservative candidate that “can win”. Really? McCain and Romney were the perfect candidates by his definition…….they didn’t win.
