Students Forced to do Opposition Research on Republicans
The link: http://www.examiner.com/article/va-students-ordered-to-do-opposition-research-on-gop-presidential-candidates
" The Daily Caller reported Thursday that 8th-grade students at Liberty Middle School in Fairfax County, Virginia, were forced to "support President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign by conducting opposition research in class against the Republican presidential candidates."
According to the Daily Caller, students in Michael Denman's class were given the assignment in mid-January. He reportedly broke the Civics Honor's class into four groups - one for each of the GOP Presidential candidates.
They were then told to research each of the candidate's backgrounds and positions, looking for weaknesses.
"From there," Kalyn McMackin wrote, "students were to prepare a strategy paper to exploit those weaknesses and then to send their suggestions to the Obama campaign."
“This assignment was just creepy beyond belief — like something out of East Germany during the Cold War,” one father told the Daily Caller. "
Yet another reason for those who home school their children to keep doing so.
Are you sure there's no liberal indoctrination in schools these days?

Article: Climate Alarmist Calls for Burning Down Skeptics Homes
The link: http://www.infowars.com/climate-alarmist-calls-for-burning-down-skeptics-homes/
" Writing for Forbes Magazine, climate change alarmist Steve Zwick calls for skeptics of man-made global warming to be tracked, hunted down and have their homes burned to the ground, yet another shocking illustration of how eco-fascism is rife within the environmentalist lobby. " (emphasis added.)
And these are the people calling for us to watch our rhetoric. Isn't that nice?
But they're not done!
" Earlier month we highlighted Professor Kari Norgaard’s call for climate skeptics to be likened to racists and ‘treated’ for having a mental disorder. In a letter to Barack Obama, Norgaard also called on the President to ignore the will of the people and suspend democracy in order to enforce draconian ecological mandates.

Opinion: We're Losing Our Republic
Opinion.
I’m glad that there are hearings now into the growing GSA scandal. And the GSA director, an Obama appointee, was forced to resign.
Having said that, and granted that the hearings are happening; I honestly don’t think that any lasting change is going to happen.
Sure, there have been brave words about the need for reform. And I think reform is needed. But first, the exact scope of the problem needs to be identified. Is it systemic, or just a few bad apples in an agency that does good, cost-effective work? In all honesty, I don’t know. And that’s just about the GSA.
Is there similar money-wasting going on in other agencies? We all know it’s happened in other administrations, but that doesn’t excuse it. We all know that it’s happened in other agencies, but that doesn’t excuse it either.
In my opinion, it is deeper than just this one agency. The government takes in vast amounts of money from us tax-payers, and the agency tasked with ensuring it’s not wasted … wastes it.
During the Tea Party protests, those of us calling for smaller government and for fiscal reform were called a variety of names, including “potential domestic extremists.”
In my opinion, this scandal simply makes our point for us. This shameful waste of tax-payer dollars should have been caught much earlier than it was.
The Republicans, hoping to score political points, have taken the ball and run with it. Granted, these hearings need to be held, those responsible need to be brought to justice, and steps taken to ensure that this shameful episode is not repeated.
But the tepid response from the Democrats simply goes to help make my next point for me: and that is that many in government, on both sides of the aisle, have forgotten where the money comes from. Indeed, former Congressman Joe Knollenberg said “It is not your money.” (*)
In my opinion, these hearings are going to be nothing but a dog-and-pony show. And that’s sad. Many of us believe that the federal government is hopelessly bloated. Those talking about fiscal reform are derided by the liberals and by those self-serving politicians who are too blind to see that we are only a few steps away from losing our Republic.

Judge Napolitano: Obama Close to Totalitarianism
Back to MS Word. I had something brilliant written, but Google doesn't like it. "Conflicting edits"
Now importing from MS Word:
The link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUeFHDpyUMY
We all, with the exception of Harry Reid and Chuckie Schumer, know that there are three separate but equal branches of the American government. These are:
The Executive (that’s the President. And I don’t know what he’s done other than play golf)
The Legislative (they enact new legislation)
-and- The Judiciary (they decide what is and what isn’t Constitutional.)
Of course, that’s just a very brief overview of the three branches. Three separate but equal branches of government.
Our Founding Fathers set it up this way, along with a system of checks and balances to help ensure that no one person, or no one branch, could usurp power over the others.
But consider Judge Napolitano’s quote:
“ I think the President is dangerously close to totalitarianism. A few months ago he was saying the Congress doesn’t count, the Congress doesn’t mean anything, I’m going to rule by decree and administrative regulation.
“ Now he’s basically saying the Supreme Court doesn’t count, it doesn’t matter what they think, they can’t review our legislation. That would leave just him as the only branch of government standing. So I think he has some problems with understanding the Consitution, or accepting limitations on his power.” (emphasis added)
Remember; three separate but equal branches of government.

ONE CAVEAT for the liberals: This video was taken by a Conservative who runs a Conservative website. For those of us on the Right, we know that this could, and sometimes does, happen.
For the liberals: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST!!!

I wonder what those people criticising Rush Limbaugh would have to say about this?
Nothing...nothing...nothing.
