InRange TV - Old & New West Vignette: Republicans, gun control & Wyatt Earp

Greed HAS become a new religion

From today's GrrlPower

After all, how can you explain Bernie's followers. Heck how can you explain 99% of Democrats and about 92% or Republicans?

WMD's WERE found in Iraq

Chemical Secrets of the Iraq War

There is also an article about the casualties that were suffered by from these weapons, the following link goes to that article.

The Secret Casualties of Iraq’s Abandoned Chemical Weapons

I have posted before about how satellite tracking showed hundreds of trucks leaving Iraq before and during the Iraq Invasion. The trucks went to Aleppo Syria, and the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. 

A person known to me said some of the trucks went into the Bekaa and "just vanished", their words not mine.  This person also said that there were signs of heavy earth moving equipment being used in the area.  The hypothesis is the trucks were buried in the Bekaa so they could be recovered later.

And just how did the Syrian Rebels get  the chemical weapons they were purported to have used?  The ones that they supposedly used shortly after they got into Aleppo?

And through it all, the U.S. Government stayed silent.

I have it on good authority that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were both briefed on the trucks and the possibility of what they were carrying.  And they ignored it and played politics to attack the Administration in power at that time.

And our troops, have suffered for it.  Innocent civilians have continued to suffer for it.

And as you get ready to go to the Polls in a few weeks to vote, remember our troops and the innocents who have suffered because of "Politicians" and their desire for power over doing what is right and just.

Some Tea Party Groups

 prove themselves to be just like the Main/Moderate Republican Party.

"According to a Washington Post report, the six largest national Tea Party groups have spent more than $37.5 million on the mid-terms so far. However, only $7 million of the spent donations have actually gone directly to candidates. Where did the other $30.5 million go? Well, it goes directly into their family members’ pockets for ‘consulting fees’, giving themselves lucrative benefit packages, paying themselves $272k/year salaries, and even spending $52k in interior decorating fees for one of their fancy Capitol Hill town-homes. How fiscally conservative of them."

I know of local groups that are out there busting their butts and they are almost begging just to pay for the postage bill.  And di you know what?  None of them receive a paycheck.  They are ALL volunteers.

However, it seems to me a bunch of "Professional" Organizers have done set themselves up with the "Tea Party" name and are reaping the benefits and raping the pocketbooks of those who donate.

What say you?

Am I right?

Or am I just, Whistling Dixie?

Zonation

I agree with him almost 100%  The only part I don't agree with him on is during the Civil War several states seceded AFTER the fighting started because of fears of Federalism.  Those states were Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia.  And they only seceded after President Lincoln called up drafts of troops and militia from the states to suppress the rebellion.  So yes slavery was a large part of what caused the war, it was not the only part.  Other than that I'm with him the rest of the way.



And I don't hate him at all.  I enjoy his video's and I hope he makes many more years worth of them.  But then again, I'm a small "L" libertarian.  And he is right.  Libertarianism is slowly being taken over by those who are short sighted or are trojan or stalking horses for the left.

Amnesty - Republicans take heed

Ace has a post up that you really should read.

"Outsourcing permits companies to ship most factories overseas so that they can produce products using cheap foreign labor and then import the finished products back to America. 

There are a tiny few jobs left for blue-collar workers that cannot be so exported to other countries -- jobs in which the work must be done in America, due to circumstances. Construction is the paradigmatic type of this sort of work -- you can't build a bridge intended for Vermont in China. You have to build it here.

So, there are very few manufacturing-type jobs left -- doing jobs, making jobs -- where the natural advantage of the American worker has not been undermined by outsourcing to other countries. 

This whole Amnesty bid is an attempt to do an end-run around that. We can't export these jobs to other countries? Fine, then: We'll import the workers to this one."

Republicans in office would do well to read that and ask themselves how they intend to prevent it.

No, Ms. Pelosi you are

"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi accused Republicans of using the alleged scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Justice and the State Department as an "evasion" from passing bills she said would increase job growth."

You sit there in your little ivory tower and try to subvert the will of the people and destroy the protections guaranteed to those same people, and you have the unmitigated gall to claim it is just some game by republicans to avoid doing the "hard work" of passing bills.

No it isn't Ms. Pelosi, it is republicans and some of your own democrats trying to hold you and the rest of the administration to account for it's flagrantly illegal and unconstitutional actions. However that doesn't fit your agenda or your talking points so of course you will lash out at republicans because you don't want the truth to come out, you want to bury it.  So you spout your bile and your sycophants will listen to you and ignore the truth in order to force your agenda on the unwilling majority of American citizens.

We're tired of the lies, the obfuscations and the agenda.  We want you and everyone else in the government to obey the Oaths they have sworn to obey, protect and defend the Constitution.

Not hard is it?

Of course you and your lackeys won't do that.

Democratic Myopia may end Social Security before Obama's term ends

"President Clinton talked about 'mend it, don’t end it,'" Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute said. "To judge by (Obama's) remarks, there's nothing that needs mending in our entitlement systems."

Many Republicans and a few Democrats are trying to figure out a way to Fix Social Security and other entitlement programs.  the problem is that Obama and his Minions refuse to do anything which might reduce their bought votes.

This makes sense

so of course the Republicans WON'T do it.

"The debt-ceiling deadline is coming up. You can demand commensurate spending cuts, the usual, reasonable Republican offer. But you won't get them. Obama will hold out. And, at the eleventh hour, you will have to give in as you get universally blamed for market gyrations and threatened credit downgrades.

The more prudent course would be to find some offer that cannot be refused, a short-term trade-off utterly unassailable and straightforward. For example, offer to extend the debt ceiling through, say, May 1, in exchange for the Senate delivering a budget by that date -- after four years of lawlessly refusing to produce one.

Not much. But it would (a) highlight the Democrats' fiscal recklessness, (b) force Senate Democrats to make public their fiscal choices and (c) keep the debt ceiling alive as an ongoing pressure point for future incremental demands."

H/t Insty

The Democrats are angry because

it makes it harder to get away with voter fraud.

"In Pennsylvania, Senate Republican leader Dominic Pileggi this week renewed his call for the Republican-controlled Legislature to revamp the way it awards electoral votes by using a method based on the popular vote that would have given Romney eight of the state's 20 votes.

Democrats quickly criticized it as partisan scheme"

What I would like Republicans in Congress to do

Is to stand up on national TV and tell Obama and his cronies and minions to shove it.  No tax increases now without non-defense spending cuts NOW.  Not cuts 3 or 4 years from now, but cuts NOW.  And they HAVE to be Non-Defense cuts. 

No Debt limit Increase without a budget being passed.  No budget no debt limit increase.

I want the Republicans in Congress to grow a backbone, and tell Obama and his minions that if they want something they have to return to actual diplomacy and the Constitution.

Obama wants to raise the debt ceiling on his own authority - Ain't gonna happen.  NO DEBT LIMIT INCREASES until a budget is passed.  And NEVER will Obama have authority NOT granted to him under the Constitution.

I'm tired of the Republicans making all the compromises and still getting the blame for Obama and his minions screwups.

So here you go Repubs, GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER!

NO Debt Limit Increase without a budget.

NO New Taxes Without Non-Defense Spending Cuts NOW - Not years from now.  NOW!

You Repubs were elected to office to stand up for your constituents, and you are doing a very poor job of it.  So grow a backbone and stand up to the bully Obama and his Czars and Special Interests and tell him to go Urinate up a rope.

Just Keep saying NO to him and his minions and referring them to the Constitution.

It's not that hard unless you actually care more about your perks and pension than you do your country.
