Listen up… Palin is one classy yet tough American woman who defeated the left wing media smear machine and gives hope for good men and women everywhere to run for office.
“By the Way… If you want to save this country, don’t even consider Chris Christie or Paul Ryan as a presidential candidate, Republicans; it’s time to get real America, it’s time to focus and create the opportunity for Truth to be heard. How? By speaking it and not shrinking back from the PC liars!” …PBN (And Democrats, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are just variations of what we have had for the past 5-years who were involved in all the scandals and screw-ups in Obamaland!)
“It is also time to stop listening to the propaganda that has been fed us, over and over again, by the Progressives on both sides, by the RINOs and Establishment Republicans and by the ruling elite which includes the mainstream media whose job it is to inform the public and report the truth of what is going on without bias… not to work hand-in-hand with one side or the other and spout their opinions instead of facts without noting that they are editorializing!”
Sarah Palin is a contender and she could win in 2016 if we, the American people, wake-up, stand-up and really want to turn things around!! We all need to educate ourselves and share the truth about Palin, the Tea Party and other patriots under attack including Ted Cruz, Mile Lee, Rand Paul, and anyone else who stands up to the entrenched beltway politicians, as well as educate everyone about the Progressive media! We need a million more Sarah Palins to stand-up, to step-up and to stand with her!!
With President Obama’s re-election, over the next 4 years he will face a national and global economy that will be even worse than today. Why? It will be part of the Power Elite’s plan to coerce us and the rest of the world into accepting a world currency by 2018. The currency probably will be called "The Phoenix" (remember the Phoenix symbol being used at the 2012 Summer Olympics and in the Harry Potter movies, coincidence?), because it symbolically will be rising from the economic ashes of a failing world economic system. It will be the new global currency of a socialist world economic system that will be managed by the PE’s planned World Socialist Government which will emerge as the "World-State" from a conference in Basra, Iraq as foretold by Fabian Socialist H. G. Wells in his book The New World Order (1939). (With it will also ultimately come a one world religion if they have their way… wonder why there is a war on Christmas? On Israel?)
# # #
Who, you might ask, will accept the new world currency for the U.S. in 2018? Just as only a Nixon rather than a Kennedy could establish relations with Communist China about 40 years ago, this time only a Bush could get Republicans to accept the loss of American national sovereignty that will come from adopting a single world currency…
# # #
How will this happen you wonder? Well, remember that Romney lost the Hispanic vote by about 50% in 2012? For his running mate, Jeb Bush could pick Hispanic U.S. Senator Marco Rubio from Florida. That should bring in the votes of Hispanics originating from the Caribbean area. Or Bush could pick a Hispanic member of Congress from a highly populated state like California or New York, especially a Hispanic female to attract women voters in general. Also, Jeb Bush is married to a Mexican-born American philanthropist, which should bring in Hispanic votes nationally as well.
# # #
And what about Hillary? Because the PE wants Jeb Bush to be elected president in 2016, they set Hillary up in Benghazi in a Catch-22 situation to tarnish her reputation for 2016. If Hillary had spoken out that it was the White House and not her State Department which was to blame for the Benghazi disaster, that might have cost President Obama re-election, and Hillary would have been held responsible for the defeat. She therefore grit her teeth and took some of the blame for what happened in Libya, and that will prove to be her downfall in 2016.

Most people are fighting ideological and spiritual wars on the battlefield of the past. In their debates, rhetoric and logic, they attempt to win the heart and souls of mankind, by bringing up figures from the past or the present. The result is that this error in multi-dimensional military strategy always produces defeat and captivity!
A recent case in point would be the Republican Party’s strategy involving Mitt Romney. This political battle or campaign was targeted towards an America of the past, which is an America that does not exist anymore. The point is not how or why, this America disappeared. The point is how the so-called most intelligent marketing, advertising and campaign strategists spent hundreds of millions of dollars waging a war on the wrong battlefield, using the wrong weapons and could not figure out until late election night, why they lost.
In the famous nursery “Humpty Dumpty,” The first recorded versions of the rhyme date from the early nineteenth century and the tune from 1870 in James William Elliott's National Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Many of those who would seek to change America and the world have become the proverbial “Humpty Dumpty’s.” They are fighting the wrong war on the wrong battlefield. The future of America will be won by those who know how to win the battlefields of the future! For various reason and many of them planned and engineered, the collective consciousness and demographics over America have radically changed. It should have been obvious look at the RNC Convention, composed of an overwhelming majority of white people in a particular age group, that they had lost the battle before they began.
The first recorded versions of the rhyme date from the early nineteenth century and the tune from 1870 in James William Elliott's National Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs.
Whatever you think of Obama and his strategists, they understood this “change” and even made it their campaign slogan. Obama was personally fighting with the weapons of the present and the future. Obama was busy connecting with his followers through Twitter, Facebook and other social media. Obama was publicly in the company of the social icons of the present and the future. People like alleged-Scientologist Will Smith and his wife, Jada. Again, like him or not, L. Ron Hubbard represents a science fiction religion of a future set in 3,000 A.D. Will Smith stars in future oriented sci-fi films like, “I Am Legend” and I Robot?”
In contrast, Mitt Romney and conservatives act like elderly people who don’t know how to use the Internet. An aging actor from the past, Clint Eastwood, reincarnates “Dirty Harry," but a large percentage of voters don’t know who “Dirty Harry,” is. The late communications theorist, Marshall McLuhan, coined the phrase, “the medium is the message.” What he was saying is that content is secondary to images and feelings in the global village of mass media.
George Soros hired some very savvy, people who know how to wage war on future battlefields by directing neuropsychology and scientifically manipulating the masses. Garret LoPorto is a depth psychologist, who understands how to mobilize unconscious urges and specializes into turning brands or movements into cults. Another Soros sponsored group, Adbusters uses the Delphi Technique to engineer a pre-determined consensus. This is a re-adaption of the Hegelian Dialectic, which creates two opposing forces in order to create a pre-determined synthesis. This is why the international bankers have financed both sides in World War I, World War II, the Viet Nam War and other conflicts.
The goal is to win the future of America through transformation. For decades, psychology has been mined for better methods to manipulate the masses. Today, the methods are more sophisticated, more brazen, and more effective. The protest organizers are manufacturing dissent within society, while creating consensus within the movement.
The documentary that will be released named, ‘Thrive – What on Earth will it take?’ to expose the elite power structures and lay out a plan that would trigger a revolution that would liberate mankind. In this new technology of marketing triggers are implanted to create radical social change and revolution. For example, the Arab Spring and other Islamic revolutions throughout the Middle East are produced by triggers. Ultimately, this means the World Socialist Government planned by the Fabian Socialists and placing the American Constitution under the control of the U.N. Constitution.
Although, there are many people who believe in the Constitution and Judeo Christian principles who understand this battlefield of thefuture, the vast majority do not and that is why we are losing America! The only way to positively impact America, preserve our freedoms and religious liberties is to understand the dynamics of multi-dimensional warfare and the battlefields of the future. At the upper echelons of the military around the world, there is the understanding of predictive programming, where trained specialists can enter another dimension and see into the future.
In addition, throughout the Old Testament, you read the stories of powerful kings who relied on supernatural information about the future from the true prophets of God. Wars and battles were won based on receiving accurate intelligence about the future. In addition, a detailed and accurate study of what is called Bible prophecy is not meant to amuse, but to equip a spiritual army with spiritual weapons.
All talk of preserving freedoms, reclaiming America and the Constitution is meaningless until you understand how the battlefield of the future is to be fought and won. This knowledge does not come from mere intellectual study and logical analysis. Since the battlefield takes place on another dimension, outside of time and space, the knowledge and spiritual weapons can only be accessed through non-traditional methods. Quantum physics, String Theory, predictive programming and other sciences begin to approach a true understanding of the battlefield. But, complete understanding of the battlefield of the future can only come about through a supernatural revelation in the inner man that transcends time and space. This revelatory knowledge comes supernaturally from beyond this present dimension. That dimension is called such names as the invisible realm, spiritual realm or parallel universe.
The transference of this revelation moves from one dimension into another with a force that is translated in Latin asdunamis, which is where we get our word dynamite or explosion. The Biblical verse, “As long as they sought the Lord, they continued to prosper,” can only be understood out of the context of what is perceived as religion or organized religion. It is a spiritual dynamic that is similar to the words in Acts, “Clothed with power from on high.” The idea is that there is an infinite spiritual energy that is explosive in nature, like dynamite and categorized as dunamis.
When this dynamite-like force of infinite energy explodes in the human mind, it explosively lights up the neurological pathways, fires orders to the DNA cells via enzymes and the DNA cells command the human biosystem of brain, body and mind to actualize and reach their optimal potential. The consequence is a radical downloading of supernatural information through words, pictures and dreams, often taking one into the future. As a by-product, the biophoton’s light-up, that person generates a supernatural glow. Multidimensional information has been passed from one dimension to another in a burst of energy. At that moment, mere human consciousness is transported into multidimensional areas of awareness and the battlefield of the future.
When that information is transported, a group or individual is supernaturally equipped to effectively win on the battlefields of the future. This revelation enables one to transcend the knowledge, tools and training of those who have mastered the rudimentary weapons of war, used in the battlefield of the future.
At the present moment, there is an enormous amount of fear regarding the outcome of events happening all around us. That fear in the dimension of physics, generates an energy field, that produces a crippling death. All the rational and statistical date seem to confirm, that the battle is lost. But, that data is an illusion! That illusion can only be overpowered by the overwhelming force of the revelation of truth and the power that comes with it!
In summary, winning the battlefields of the future is not only possible, but certain when the revelation and power that come from another dimension, enters people and re-creates them. The future is not fixed and the battlefield of the future will be won by those who choose victory!
The next president will either be a true conservative (man or woman) or it will a NWO puppet as laid out by Dr. Dennis Laurence Cuddy above and the choice belongs to “We” the American People”! Even if 2016 is the year for the first female President of the United States, the dynamics could be the same. Conservative verses NWO candidate if we, conservatives, patriots, and independents stop letting the left and the media they control tell us who is and who isn’t electable and can or can’t win.
If we would have had the guts to stand up there might even have been the opportunity to save this election: It’s Official: Obama Voter Fraud Reason for “Re-election”. So why didn’t we? Why aren’t we? Why the GOP Will Not Challenge Vote Fraud… Can This Be? If this agreement by the GOP is the reason, shame on us. If not then why are we shooting for a massive anti-Obama Inauguration Day rally? That should be our fallback from which or organize if we fail in over-turning this election.
Why aren’t we getting these votes recounted and investigations into voter fraud everywhere, a whole new election or staging sit ins between now and Dec 16th, while the vote can be contested?!? Not sure if it would work, but I’ve heard suggested if enough of the electors for the electoral college withheld their votes that it could throw the election to the House? Not really sure about that… but somebody must know. And you can bet that the Founding Fathers of this country would not have just sat by and let this stolen election stand! How about state ballot challenges? There is resistance and people are getting angry, but are they angry enough? Please get involved today~
It only takes 2 to 3% of the population to start a new movement, or to stop one. Why do you think that Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat leadership and their minions in the left wing media hated the tea party and the candidates who they identified with so much? Why it was their goal to destroy people like Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Allen West, Ron Paul and media people (mainstream and alternative) who supported the goals of the tea party or even just tried to report the actual news fairly… without bias? Why? Fear!!
There is a Massive Anti-Obama Rally @ “Obama’s” Inauguration Day!!! - We Have A Dream: 500,000+ Anti-Obama Activists Arrive In Washington D.C. During Obama’s Inauguration Ceremony … We need to stop the inauguration not compete with it! The Rally should be out fall back plan, not our goal!
So where do we go from here? Grassroots movements, patriot involvement, courage, prayer and new candidates and support teams in the GOP and if not in a new third party that is in tune to the problems, issues and solutions to save America. Our first fight needs to be to reverse this stolen election. The fallback is to organize.
It was just four years ago that John McCain surprised the electorate with his selection of then Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, the first woman ever to be selected as a Republican VP nomination or part of the GOP ticket and only the second woman in all of U.S. history chosen to run for the #2 position in either party; Democrat Geraldine Ferraro, was the first woman on a presidential ticket in 1984.
The 2008 GOP Convention was the first time most Americans were introduced to Sarah Palin and she rocked the house the night of her convention speech and quickly changed the face of the McCain campaign. Palin soon overshadowed McCain on the campaign trail and within days the McCain/Palin ticket had surged into the lead. And for those who either don’t or choose not to remember that they were ahead in the polls after Palin joined the ticket, Greta Van Susteren just recently pulled out those old polls.
Palin took the 2008 presidential race by storm beginning with her speech accepting the GOP vice-presidential nomination in St. Paul, Minnesota with a performance that electrified the party faithful and received almost universal praise from previously skeptical pundits as well, a fact the has been conveniently forgotten or spun over the past four years. Many people fell in love with Sarah Palin instantly after hearing her speak that first time and she rallied the party like she does every time she speaks and instantly became a tea party favorite, excited at the prospect of a fresh, inspiring, Reaganesque candidate that was a female to boot.
Tens of thousands regularly turned out for Palin’s 2008 appearances. It was at her first rally in Cali in October 2008 that this writer first saw Sarah Palin speak to a crowd of 23,000 in Carson, CA. I have been a supporter ever since and so are most who hear her speak live and actually listen!
So why isn’t Sarah Palin speaking at the 2012 Republican Convention on Tampa?
Why aren’t any of these people speaking? UPDATE (Aug. 17): It appears that Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich will now be speaking at the GOP Convention; announced since the so-called final speakers list was released after which the poster and campaign below were launched.
Why?
After realizing Sarah Palin’s popularity with the grassroots elements of the Republican party and with average everyday Americans from all parties in 2008 and since, even after their attempts to demonize her, plus Sarah’s overall charisma, it scared the left as well as many within the Republican establishment who quickly developed a case of the phenomenon known as Palin Derangement Syndrome which was promoted by the those who suffer from it and those they control like the leftist mainstream media. ‘They’ were and are afraid that Sarah will speak her mind (Going Rogue), are afraid that they can’t control her and even more are afraid that she could win as the #1 spot on the GOP ticket or perhaps even on an independent ticket in the future. Nobody puts this much effort into someone that has no power or couldn’t upset their apple cart!
Plus, it seems fairly obvious that the RNC and the Romney-Ryan campaign’s strategy is to highlight voices that will excite party loyalists in the campaign hall while excluding those that could possibly turn-off independent voters watching on television at home, possibly giving some credence to the rumor that Palin was asked to speak during the day… when fewer people would see her. (As Rush Limbaugh has often said, “Wow what power we have given the independents!”) That is a strategy that could backfire! Everyone of the people in the photo above should be speaking at the Convention and Sarah Palin should definitely be speaking and speaking in prime time!
Kevin Fobbs has started a campaign to: Let Sarah Speak and the Tea Party launched a campaign to let Allen West, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Donald Trump and Sarah Palin to speak. Join them. Call and email the RNC, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus who had said earlierthat he hoped Sarah would have a speaking role, and the Romney Campaign.Also, sign this petition or start your own.
It is not too late to change things or add speakers. On August 17th the word was that Ron Paul and his delegates had been embraced by the RNC and it appears that both Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul will now be speaking (or were given the invite) at the GOP Convention; still no specifics available on Ron Paul though. On the 21st the RNC struck a deal with Ron Paul delegates and Sher Valenzuela (Who… When you could have Palin or Bachmann?) landed a prime speaking slot. And on the 22nd it was announced that Ann Romney will Keynote the First Night of the GOP convention. Also, Donald Trump Is Now To Play a 'Surprise' Role At RepublicanConvention. So there is still time and room for Sarah Palin and the others listed above!
This is not in anyway an anti-Romney-Ryan movement! They are the comeback team that America needs right now. But the GOP needs to create a bigger tent!
Mark Levin interviewed RNC chairman Reince Priebus and asked if Sarah Palin was offered a speaking position, in prime time, at the Republican National Convention beginning next week in Tampa, Florida. Priebus says (snippet): (see video below)
PRIEBUS: Governor Palin was definitely invited to speak at the Convention, and it wasn’t like in the afternoon or anything like that. She was invited to speak one of the evenings. I don’t know if it got to the point of what time and date, and which particular period of time, but she was invited to speak and it just turned out that in her schedule, I think she was planning on staying up in Alaska anyway, and it didn’t work out….
LEVINE: But a prime time spot?
PRIEBUS: I don’t what you mean by prime time, but I can tell you between 8pm and…
LEVINE: You know, when everyone is watching TV
PRIEBUS: Yeah, between 8pm and 11 at night, I think that’s a prime time spot. Yeah. It wasn’t at 7 o’clock or 4 in the afternoon. I can promise you that. It was a time when all the delegates would be in the hall and everyone would be there attentive and ready for the evening of major speakers. Yeah.
Something here doesn’t pass the smell test. I can’t imagine that Sarah would rather be in Alaska during the time of the Republican National Convention, if she had an opportunity to further her small government, integrity-driven government agenda. In fact, I can’t imagine she would not want be at the Convention, but I don’t think a 10pm or 11 pm speaking slot can be considered desirable or an appropriate offer, if that was the offer.
##
As highlighted by Ask Marion and by Constitution Daily Palin has rented a hotel space in Tampa during the Convention time, so maybe she is not staying in Alaska. I can’t imagine that she will, but then I can’t imagine that she wasn’t offered one of the best spots on RNC speaking roster.
Vice President Joe Biden will be in Tampa as the GOP Convention Opens, another sign of how desperate the Obama campaign is. It has always been tradition that the opposite party stay out of the limelight while the other party has their convention. I guess this move leaves it wide open for the Romney and Ryan to campaign during the Dem’s Convention. Greg Gutfeld of The Five commented that perhaps the Dems are sending Biden to the GOP Convention on purpose and telling him that it is theirs, hoping he will think he has already attended the DNC Convention and misses it thereby cutting the chance of more Biden gaffes.
This article/campaign is absolutely not an anti-Romney-Ryan piece… They are the right team for the times, certainly compared to the alternative, but they would be helping themselves and the party in letting Sarah Palin speak!
For Anyone Who Missed it: The House Passed "Cut, Cap and Balance" on a 234-190 Vote Yesterday
On a largely party line vote, the House has passed a conservative deficit reduction plan known as "Cut, Cap and Balance" on a 234-190 vote. The bill includes caps on spending and a balanced budget amendment, but it has little chance of passing the Democratic-controlled Senate and faces a veto threat from President Barack Obama… The Dems still have no alternative plan (but all of a sudden Reid and McConnell and the gang of Six are trying to cobble something together) as Obama says he’ll veto this bill if if makes it through the Senate… So who are the obstructionists?
Don’t do that deal…
Over the past week there has been talk about Republican leaders in the House and the Senate coming up with a compromise that will allow President Obama to raise the debt ceiling without the approval of Congress.
Don’t do that deal
One of the things that drive conservative voters nuts is that in the final hour, when things really matter, the GOP tends to give away the high ground that activists won the hard way by doing that deal.
The public is tired of reckless and wasteful spending by the government. They want real, honest solutions; solutions that cut spending. What they don’t want is the deal that allows some to say it increases spending, while others can claim it cuts spending; a deal that cuts taxes by one method of accounting and raises it by another method; a deal where one side points at the other and says “You did it!”
The American people want honesty, a straight deal.
Honestly? It wasn’t a brilliant masterstroke by the GOP leadership in the House or the Senate that suddenly has President Obama talking about cutting $4-5 trillion in spending. It wasn’t because House Speaker John Boehner made like Henry Clay with an impassioned speech that now has congressional Democrats in competitive districts puckering up their cheek muscles.
It wasn’t because the GOP came up with a nifty sounding plan, like Contract with America, that the GOP took back the majority in the House.
More than anything else, it was the hard work and countless volunteer hours of grassroots conservative activist around the country that made it possible to have a real discussion about cutting the size of government. They knocked on doors, went to rallies, wrote checks, stuffed envelopes and did the job of real leadership that informed and educated voters about the core principles that make this country go.
And the GOP came along for the ride.
If the Republican leadership in Congress abandons the moral advantage that those activists gave them, the sound they’ll hear in 2012 when voting starts is the sound of no hands clapping.
Make no mistake. There are more than a handful of Republicans in Congress who owe their seats to an unprecedented outpouring of support from Tea Party activists.
Ask Rep. Joe Heck, who won his race by about 2000 votes, if he needs those activists to show up for him in 2012. Ask Rep. Scott Tipton, who won his race by about 10,000 votes whether he’ll need those activists next time around. Ask Rep. Blake Farenthold, who won his seat by less than 1000 votes if he needs those activists to show up.
Obama and his friends have seriously miscalculated the public’s desire to have federal government intrude into their life. And the GOP will miscalculate if they think that the type of deal they cut in the spring to raise the debt limit will satisfy the base this time around.
It won’t. What they demand is that Congress does the job it was elected to do by taking the debt limit seriously.
The whole idea of having a debt limit was to act as a check against unbridled deficit spending, while allowing the Treasury Department some latitude in managing those debts. It was created for exactly the situation we face today.
While it’s true that Congress has already agreed to spend the money contemplated under an increase in the debt limit, it is wrong to say that Congress has approved borrowing more money in order to be able to spend that money.
Writing a check and cashing a check are two different things.
Right now, the account is empty. Congress can only approve putting more money in the account by a vote to increase the debt limit.
Congress has always had to approve the government’s ability to raise money via debt.
Always.
It should be no different now.
If they don’t approve it, the government is obligated to balance the budget at that point by whatever Draconian measures it has at its disposal. Only a liberal would conclude that the only option then is to default on obligations.
The idea that Congress would turn over the management of the debt ceiling to any president, yet alone one who has not been able to present and pass a real budget over three years shows that there are still some in Washington who have been in Washington way too long.
Who the heck got us into this jam in the first place? On which alternate universe does Obama become the guy to manage us out of the crisis he created?
There are a number of legitimate ways the GOP can approach the debt limit issue including balancing the budget.
But they must not, under any circumstances, do that debt deal.

Full transcript inside. Runs 1 minute. Outstanding clip from the House floor. After the jump, there are three 1-minute clips - all from Kucinich this week on Social Security.
Transcript:
Social Security didn't create the deficit, but America's seniors are being presented with a fake Social Security crisis to try to trick them into accepting reduced benefits. Social Security will be able to pay 100% of its benefits through 2037 without any changes whatsoever. So, why the panic today? If seniors accept cuts to Social Security benefits today, a surplus cash flow will build in the Social Security trust fund. According to the Congressional Research Service, "Social Security's cash surpluses are borrowed by the U.S. Treasury and can be used for tax cuts, spending or repaying debt." Social Security benefit cuts are increasing taxes paid to Social Security or extending retirement age will give more money for tax cuts spending or repaying the debt. Except for one thing: Social Security money belongs to those who have paid into the fund, it's not the government's money to use it; it shouldn't be the government's money to play with. Senior citizens should not have to accept a reduced standard of living to finance tax cuts for the rich. We must take a stand for senior citizens and protect Social Security and protect future generations from this raid on Social Security's funds.
Three months ago 276 experts on Social Security, the federal budget or the economy wrote to President Obama "to correct a commonly held misconception -- that Social Security somehow contributes to the federal government's deficit." Despite the fact that Social Security has a $2.6 trillion dollar surplus and can pay 100% of its benefits through 2037 without any cuts or tax increases, President Obama declared yesterday that Social Security checks may not go out after August 2, presumably unless there is a deal on the federal deficit - - which has nothing to do with Social Security. According to today's Washington Post, fifteen years ago Congress passed laws which stated Social Security did not count against the debt limit and gave Treasury clear authority to use Social Security trust funds to pay benefits and administration expenses in the event a debt ceiling is reached. A fake Social Security crisis will do nothing to solve a real debt crisis, will undermine the public's faith in government and will create unnecessary anxiety among our elderly. Stop playing political games with Social Security.
No Matter How You Look at It… Obama Is Lying - There's Plenty of Money To Continue Paying Social Security If The Debt Ceiling Is Not Raised… Either Through the Revenue the Government Will Collect and Must Prioritize or From the Soc Sec Account That Should Be Full of Money (Per Obama and Kucinich)… But Seniors, You Are Being Played for Democratic Political Purposes! And Forget once ObamaCare goes into affect… you won’t get treatment for any major illness if are over 76… Wake up!
I believe in Las Vegas. I think its best days are ahead of it. But I'm afraid to do anything in the current political environment in the United States. You watch television and see what's going on on this debt ceiling issue. And what I consider to be a total lack of leadership from the President and nothing's going to get fixed until the President himself steps up and wrangles both parties in Congress. But everybody is so political, so focused on holding their job for the next year that the discussion in Washington is nauseating.
And I'm saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business, and progress and job creation in my lifetime. And I can prove it and I could spend the next 3 hours giving you examples of all of us in this market place that are frightened to death about all the new regulations, our healthcare costs escalate, regulations coming from left and right. A President that seems, that keeps using that word redistribution. Well, my customers and the companies that provide the vitality for the hospitality and restaurant industry, in the United States of America, they are frightened of this administration.And it makes you slow down and not invest your money. Everybody complains about how much money is on the side in America.
You bet and until we change the tempo and the conversation from Washington, it's not going to change. And those of us who have business opportunities and the capital to do it are going to sit in fear of the President. And a lot of people don't want to say that. They'll say, God, don't be attacking Obama. Well, this is Obama's deal and it's Obama that's responsible for this fear in America.
The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don't invest, their holding too much money. We haven't heard that kind of talk except from pure socialists. Everybody's afraid of the government and there's no need soft peddling it, it's the truth. It is the truth. And that's true of Democratic businessman and Republican businessman, and I am a Democratic businessman and I support Harry Reid. I support Democrats and Republicans. And I'm telling you that the business community in this company is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the President of the United States. And until he's gone, everybody's going to be sitting on their thumbs.
Later in the call, he rants again about how hard it is to visit America (due to Homeland Security and visa issues), and what that means for Chinese visitors.
Please call, fax and email your Senator(s) and tell the to pass Cut, Cap and Balance. Then it will be up to Obama…
I am delighted to see them forging ahead w/promises to repeal.Keep the faith.Posted on the Blaze at 5p.m. ET
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans adamant that the government keep its hands off the Internet passed a bill Friday to repeal federal rules barring Internet service providers from blocking or interfering with traffic on their networks.
Republicans, in voting to repeal rules on “network neutrality” set down by the Federal Communications Commission, said the FCC lacked the authority to promulgate the rules. They disputed the need to intervene in an already open Internet and warned that the rules would stifle investment in broadband systems.
“The FCC power grab would allow it to regulate any interstate communication service on barely more than a whim and without any additional input from Congress,” said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., sponsor of the legislation. The Internet, he added, “is open and innovative thanks to the government’s hands-off approach.”
But in what has become a largely partisan battle, the Democrat-controlled Senate is not expected to go along with the House. Sen. John D. Rockefeller, D-W.Va., chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, said he was “disappointed that House leadership wants to undo the integrity of the FCC’s process and unravel their good work.”
Even if it cleared Congress, the White House has threatened to veto a bill it said puts in doubt whether “the democratic spirit of the Internet will remain intact.”
Rep. Henry Waxman of California, top Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee, said nullifying the FCC rules would “give big phone and cable companies control over what websites Americans can visit, what applications they can run and what devices they can use.”
The vote to pass the bill, mainly along party lines, was 240-179.
The FCC rules were adopted on a 3-2 vote last December after years of debate over the federal role in ensuring a free and open Internet. The FCC’s three Democrats voted in support and its two Republicans opposed.
While generally seen as a compromise between technology companies fearing provider limitations on their access to the Internet and the big phone and cable companies insisting they need flexibility to manage Internet traffic, the rules drew a quick legal challenge from Verizon Communications Inc., which said the FCC had overstepped its authority.
A year ago a federal appeals court also ruled that the FCC exceeded its authority in sanctioning Comcast Corp. for discriminating against online file-sharing traffic Comcast said was clogging its network.
The rules prohibit phone and cable companies from favoring or discriminating against Internet content and services, including online calling services such as Skype and Web video services such as Netflix that could compete with their core operations. They require broadband providers to let subscribers access all legal online content.
They do give providers flexibility to manage data on their systems to deal with network congestion and unwanted traffic as long as they publicly disclose those practices. They do not specifically ban “paid prioritization,” where a provider might charge more for faster transmission of data, but they outlaw “unreasonable network discrimination.”
Wireless carriers are also barred from blocking access to any websites or competing services, but they are given more leeway to manage data traffic because wireless systems have less network bandwidth.
Even supporters acknowledged that the rules are mainly about preserving the status quo of a system that is generally working well.
But absent the rules, said Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., “there would be a major shift in power on the Internet to the broadband providers from the content providers.”
He said there was legitimate fear among nonprofit and religious groups that they would be consigned to a lower tier because they could not pay a higher price for premium service. “So your Web page from Nike might load faster than your Web page from the Catholic Church because, if there was tiered access, who would be more likely to pay for the speed of the access?”
He also cited the actions of autocratic states such as China in blocking Internet content in saying the government must make clear that providers cannot discriminate against customers because of political or philosophical differences.
