Palin:  “We Are Not Here to Save a Party… We Are Here to Save a Nation”

Ghosts of Benghazi

Hillary:  “What Difference Does It Make?” 

When Questioned About the Events Leading Up to the Death of Our Ambassador and 3-Other Brave Heroes in Benghazi Under Her Watch

By Marion Algier – Ask Marion

If you believe everything you read, Hillary Clinton is already President of the United States-in-waiting and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie ‘was’ the GOP’s predestined 2016 nominee. Does this sound like 2012 or 2008 all over again?

But what is true is that the jockeying for the 2016 Election is in full swing. The Democrat strategy is to intimidate and sideline, by any means, any Democrat opposition to Hillary Clinton for the primaries while attacking and obliterating any Republicans that they feel could give her a strong challenge in the general election; Chris Christie is only the beginning and Sarah Palin, probably the one they fear the most has been on their radar screen since she gave her 2008 Vice Presidential nomination acceptance speech. The folks, as O’Reilly likes to call average everyday American, of which Palin is one, loved her immediately and she inspired women on both sides of the aisle, including political convert and lifetime Democrat, the Los Angeles President of the National Organization for Women (NOW) who introduced Palin for her first Rally in Cali in Carson City where a crowd of 23,000 gathered, that I was privileged to attend, with a last minute announcement… so the Progressive  left immediately feared and hated her. You can bet that Hillary does not draw that kind of a crowd for her speeches!

The left knew how much of a threat Sarah Palin was, and is, and colluded to demonize her using their progressive minions in the mainstream media with instructions to use any and every dirty trick in their bag of Alinsky tricks… already knowing that they would be running Hillary Clinton in 2016 and that Sarah Palin another tough woman but younger, prettier, principled and by then tested by the fire created by them, who had real accomplishments both personal and professional would be the Republican’s best shot to beat her… that is if common sense could get past the GOP party establishment that strangled the party in 2008 and 2012. The Progressives organized a group of jour’no’lists including CFR operative Katie Couric to go after Palin and a created what is commonly know as Palin Derangement Syndromewhich still continues.

So the question is… can the Republicans get past their own establishment that strangled their party in 2008 and 2012, which includes their chairman Reince Priebus? The Vichy Republicans or old GOP guard are desperately trying to hold onto their own power instead of listening to their base and the grassroots swell of Americans that Sarah Palin and those she helped get into office in 2010 and 2014 represent, those like Ted Cruz, a great VP choice, who call her the Kingmaker. RNC Chairman Priebus Did Say that a Hillary’s 2016 Candidacy is Set… And Electing a Female Presidency Will be the Carrot…, but somehow he doesn’t seem to be able to make the needed and obvious connection that Palin is the GOP’s strongest shot in 2016. In a recent Poll: Sarah Palin Again Had the Highest Favorability Rating Among GOP Primary Voters and the President of the Heritage Foundation and Former U.S. Senator Jim DeMint recently stated that there is no better endorsement a Conservative, Republican, Independent or Libertarian can get than one from Sarah Palin and CNN reported that Palin’s influence is far from diminishing.  That is not necessarily the case for an endorsement by Hillary for Democrats, let alone for an Independent.

The Republicans are moving their 2016 Convention back to June or July from late August to give their candidate access to campaign funds and the RNC staff earlier.  They are also cutting back on the number of primary debates after they helped slaughter themselves in 2012 with their former schedule and by trying to marginalize people like Sarah Palin and that ever-growing wing of the Party and of the population in general. Just today Rush Limbaugh put forth the theory that republicans want to win the 2014 Election narrowly (if at all), without the Tea Party.  Why you wonder?  The why is because the powers that be and the establishment politicians want to keep the system in place, which puts money in their pockets.  That is how they keep everyone inline, or at least did until the rise of the Tea Party (Taxed Enough Already). It is a system that the Clintons are part of, but a system that Sarah Palin would expose and stop, as she did with the Corrupt Bastard’s Club in Alaska.

Every American should educate themselves about Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, because what you think you know, if it is through the mainstream media, is probably wrong about both of them!  It is time for all Americans to clear their mind of any previous pre-conceptions about these two women and start anew in their education process.

2016 should be the battle between these two women… Sarah Palin vs. Hillary Clinton: 

Mark Levin, former sisties radical turned conservative and Soros disciple David Horowitz, and many others have said that Hillary is Obama in a dress.

In a recent interview, Former Clinton WH Counsel Lanny Davis Struggled to List Hillary’s Achievements at the State Dept and former Clinton advisor Dick Morris has little good to say about his experience with the Former First Lady.

Sadly when asked, most people who claim they dislike Sarah Palin know little about her and what they know is usually negative and generally untrue; for Hillary it is generally the opposite, they often don’t know why they like her either, but it is what they don’t know or think about Hillary or what they think are her positives that are the issue.  So, directly below are some basic facts about Sarah Palin and there is a a lot of info in this article, especially the links to give everyone a good start on researching these two women and possible 2016 presidential candidates:

Us For Palin 

I just finished Sarah Takes on Big Oil, by Kay Cashman and Kristen Nelson. One of the major things I liked about the book, is that outsiders without an agenda wrote it. They were unbiased and just wrote the facts. I recommend that you all read this book.

As you read Sarah Takes on Big Oil, you will see what we have all been writing about and why we stand with former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Tom Irwin, Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources who is quoted in the book said it best. “She is a real leader, our governor is grounded in a fundamental of honesty, integrity, her faith and understanding of the Constitution. I’ve never seen her once, ever, come close to the bright line of wanting to violate those.”

As you read through Sarah Takes on Big Oil you’ll see other comments by Irwin, that let you know Gov. Palin has not changed as she fights to bring the Republican party back to where it stood when Reagan was President. “I am a conservative Republican. I sometimes wonder where my party has gone, but my governor, Sarah Palin, is bringing it back,” Irwin said.

You will read about how Gov. Palin worked with people on both sides of the aisle. She did not care whether you had a D or an R after your name. Gov. Palin’s job and mindset was to get and do the best for the people of Alaska. After the debating and passing the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA), Rep. Beth Kerttula, D-Juneau, the House minority leader, thanked Gov. Palin for her leadership, for “all of your hard work and your willingness to listen to us and to keep your door open right up until late last night. I really appreciate it as do the members of my caucus.”

The book is written like a case study, with all the needed information so that you will understand what Gov. Palin accomplished, how she worked as part of the team, but as Irwin said, “she was a leader, she allowed us to feel we worked; but make no doubt about it, she understood it and she was the decision maker.”

As I read Sarah Takes on Big Oil, I thought, that is what we all see and feel about the lady from the North. We see her integrity, we see her honesty, we know her faith. This is a lady who would have made an outstanding Vice President – oh, and a great president at which we still have a chance!

Hillary 2016 Melting Away

New Poll: Voters blame Clinton and Obama for Benghazi…  and we now know that Clinton could have prevented the attack but failed to do so

And for those not familiar with the Benghazi scandal and Hillary’s involvement checkout: Bombshell: Pentagon ‘didn’t know’ Benghazi annex existed, which includes a timeline of links to related articles from day one. 

And let us not forget Jerry Zeifman, a longtime Democrat, former general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee’s response to why he fired Hillary Clinton from the Watergate Investigation: “Because she was liar!”, he said.  “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer.  She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the Committee and the rules of confidentiality!”  Progressivism at its best!

Video: YouTube Debate: “Hillary Are You a Liberal"?… “I prefer the word Progressive…I Consider myself a modern Progressive”

So again beside trying to obliterate every opponent by using whatever means necessary (legal, questionable, and illegal) and Protecting Hillary… at every turn to pave the way for an easy Hillary win in both the primaries and the general election, the Democrats intend to make the focus of the 2016 election about their fabricated ‘war on women’ (by the Republicans) and electing the first U.S. female president. So logic would dictate that the Republicans fight back with on an equal playing field with a worthy opponent… the strongest battle proven women in the Republican Party… Sarah Palin. So where is the the breakdown in the party’s ability to make that connection if they really want to win? Like the Democrats, the GOP was well as freedom loving Independents, Libertarians, Conservatives and unaffiliated voters who see the need for real change should be supporting and protecting Sarah Palin as the Democrats are doing for Hillary.  Instead they are helping to continue to undermine her, the Republican Party and America… For those who either don’t or choose not to remember McCain-Palin were ahead in the polls after Palin joined the ticket, Greta Van Susteren pulled out the old polls. Get-Involved my friends and educate yourself… and then get out there, stand-up and share!!

RNC Chairman Says Hillary 2016 Candidacy is Set… And Female Presidency Will be the Carrot

5sarahpalin_thumb 

We have a country to save!

What Difference Does It Make

What difference does it make?

America… if the elites on both sides fear you enough to create a whole syndrome about you, the average person should be on your side!  And if the media worships you… the average America should wary if not afraid!

By Marion Algier – Ask Marion

The 2016 shuffle is in full swing.  Seems Hillary is looking like the heir to the Democrat nomination. While on Friday,12.06.13 Rand Paul’s (R) wife, when asked, said ‘no’ to a 2016 run for her husband… leaving some wiggle room; Elizabeth Warren (D) said she would not be running; while Ben Carson (R) said God had a plan for him and indicated that he was closer to a decision to run.

Then when RNC Chairman Reince Preibus told Hugh Hewitt on air Wednesday, 12.04.13, that his team was getting ready for Hillary in 2016, the "news" went viral on the left in a hurry.  And of course this time around, instead of electing the first Black President, the Democrats’ carrot will be electing the first female President, even if she is recycled goods with unending baggage and scandals in her back background.

Hewitt:

(The complete transcript of my chat with the chairman is here, including my continuing pitch for Cleveland as the site of the 2016 RNC Convo.)

The Huffington Post story reporting on Preibus' matter-of-fact acknowledgment drew 3,000+ comments in 12 hours.

Talking Points Memo and Politico added coverage. Others will follow through the day.

There should be no surprise here though, of course it is great to be the first show on which the chairman acknowledged the obvious. Priebus and his team have learned from Team Obama that once you know whom the other side is going to nominate, hone and and define that candidate. Don't wait for Labor Day 2016 to run negative ads about Hillary. Run them now. Start as soon as you can. That means now.

That's what Axelrod, Stephanie Cutter et al did vis-a-vis Mitt Romney from early 2012 forward. And it worked, as Collision 2012 by the Washington Post's Dan Balz and The Center Holds Bloomberg's Jonathan Alter and others confirm. (My interview with Balz is here; with Alter here.)

So people (especially Mr. Preibus) what does common sense dictate…? We, Republicans, with the support of anyone who knows that Hillary will be Obama with brains and perhaps less puppet strings attached… as well as the final death nail for America, need to wake-up and run the toughest and strongest female Republican candidate that we have and start backing and promoting her now!!! 

And who would that female be, you ask?  Really???  Is there a question?  That would be Sarah Palin… who people she has helped get elected call the Kingmaker; who is asked by icons like Billy Graham to speak at their 95th Birthday Party; who draws throngs of people for book signings all over the country… including students after her speeches, and who has already survived every dirty, untruthful, and ugly attack the left can throw at her and her family.  The Journolistic attacks against Palin have all been proven to be a set-up and she has won every trumped-up battle in the courts.  Meaning:  Unless you are someone who loves Sarah and stuck with her or an honest thorough student of politics and current events… what you know or think you know about Sarah Palin is pretty much false!!  And in that same vain, what you know or think you know about Hillary Clinton is pretty much false!

And as for the GOP, Conservatives, Independents and fed up Democrats, there comes a time to realize that you have to stop running the same old moderates… McCain and Romney didn’t win, but Sarah Palin almost pulled out McCain’s bacon. And it is time to let the GOP establishment, who keep making the same bad decisions, ride into the sunset… and win with a winner. Or you can try to hang on and lose again and go the way of the Whigs.  The problem is that if the GOP loses again and we end up with Hillary… America is finished!

There shouldn’t even be a debate or do we want to beat ourselves to death again, like in the last primary?  But even in a fight like that, Palin is the best candidate because the mainstream media, the Democrats, and the GOP Establishment have already tried to beat her to a pulp and she came out the other end leaner, meaner, smarter and still standing. America… if the elites on both sides fear you enough to create a whole syndrome about you, the average person should be on your side!  And if the media worships you… the average America should wary if not afraid!

If they were dolls, the choice would be between Boring Benghazi Betty (Hillary) or Charismatic Constitutionalist Carol (Sarah).

We need to fight Hillary and the first female president scenario with Sarah and for once be ‘the first’ as well as on the side of the people.

The mainstream media was afraid of Sarah Palin because they knew she could win and would make a change in their Progressive world. But they love Progressive Hillary Clinton and are willing to overlook the truth, as they did with her hubby Bill and did again with Obama.  And even though Palin holds no office at this time, many in the mainstream media are obsessed with her and continue their unfounded attacks.

The question is… do you like where America is today: weak, jobless, controlled by Big Brother where soon the government will tell you who and when people get healthcare treatments?  Or do you love the Constitutional Republic America used to be: strong, working, where freedom and opportunity not Big Government ruled and our healthcare was the best in the world?  If you like option one… Hillary is your girl.  If you life option two… Sarah is your girl.  It is as simple as that. 

Countering the possibility of the first woman president along with the Clinton machine… the GOP is not going to win with a male candidate and there is not a stronger woman in the arena to fight Hillary than Sarah Palin.  A great and winning ticket would be:

Palin-Cruz, Palin-West, Palin-Carson, Palin-Paul, Palin-Bachmann, Palin-Martinez…

The Democrats are busy rebranding Hillary Clinton and GOP should be busy re-introducing Sarah Palin.

Here is a good start for everyone… Listen to Palin’s 2008 convention speech, when she was the over-night darling, before the Democrat media plotted to destroy her.  Then buy or rent the Undefeated.  Go out to one of her book signings for her new book Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas (Kindle) and meet her.  And then do your homework.  If you do, you will find that Palin is smart, patriotic, energetic, principled, honest, spiritual, nice but tough, charismatic, stands for and with the average American, really is and has what most feminists only talk about and is pretty to boot.  She made a difference in Alaska!!, whereas, to quote Charles Krauthammer, “Hillary is a Paper Tiger and won’t be remembered as an exemplary Secretary of State”.

sarah_palin_not_here_to_rebrand_here_to_rebuild_1 

Hillary is worn-out, a progressive elitist, thinks she knows better than the average American, is un-relatable, and if you do your homework had more dirt and scandals in her background than anyone being considered for the highest office in the land should ever have.  For your homework her you can start by renting or buying Primary Colors and reading The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party (Kindle).  Do your homework on Benghazi (not what the mainstream media has been feeding us).  Then look up Huma Abedin Weiner, and start digging and doing your research the Clintons.

Video: I prefer to call myself a progressive

Hillary 1974-2014

As Americans, whatever your politics, or lack of political interest up to this point, we cannot afford to elect another president with vetting them, with really knowing who they are, and definitely on the word and guidance of a biased mainstream media.  We cannot afford another Obama and if you don’t like ObamaCare… you’ll hate HillaryCare!

And conservatives… stop buying into the Establishment line that a conservative or tea party type can’t win… or that Ronald Reagan or JFK couldn’t get elected by their parties today.  That is what those in power and their media minions want you to believe!!  If the American people get behind a true leader, they far out number those on the beltway of Washington D.C. as well as the ruling elite in the world!  So the people’s choice can win if the people get involved and stand-up! 

Charles Krauthammer says Hillary Clinton Is ‘Eminently Defeatable’ in 2016… as long as the GOP wakes up!!

If you agree… please get involved and send this to RNC Chairman Reince Preibus… Twitter: @Reince and @RNCPRBS

Socialized Medicine Twins 

Unless you are someone who loves Sarah and stuck with her or are an honest thorough student of politics and current events… what you know or think you know about Sarah Palin is pretty much false!!  And in that same vain, what you know or think you know about Hillary Clinton is also pretty much false!

Mark Levin talks about his new book with an expert panel on Hannity – The Liberty Amendments

mark_levin-620x378

Mark Levin appeared on Hannity (on 08.16.13) along with a great expert conservative panel for a full hour special to discuss his new bestseller, The Liberty Amendments (Kindle), and the solutions for America covered therein.  For anyone who is not familiar with Mark Levin, he is an attorney, radio talk show host, Constitutional expert and served as part of Ronald Reagan’s team.  Great questions from the panel and a great discussion with Levin.

Levin said, “We are living in a ‘Post Constitutional World’”, but reminded us that the Founders of our country and writers of the Constitution gave us article 5… for just such a time.  Many conservatives have been afraid to go move forward with a Constitutional Convention to reclaim the Republic, but as Levin pointed out… what is there to be afraid of?  The other side already has and does what they want.  He said there are, of course no guarantees of the outcome, but he said he does know what the outcome will be if we continue going down the road we are now on.  Mark offers what he call the Liberty Amendments and a pathway for Americans to take to save the Republic.

Only 20% of America consider themselves to be liberals or Progressives.  40% consider themselves to be Conservatives.  And the other 40% are pretty much disengaged.  Yet the 20% are wagging the dog…

Watch highlights below:

Video: Mark Levin On Neil Cavuto - Fox News - The Liberty Amendments

Human Events: Radio host Mark Levin’s new book, The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic, is one of the most focused, accessible, and aggressive political books you’ll ever find. Levin’s thesis is that the balance of power between the three branches of the federal government, the states, and the American people has been distorted beyond the ability of conventional politics to repair. After all, if the power of the legislature has been diminished relative to the executive, the executive has dispersed its disproportionate power into unelected bureaucracies, and the states are increasingly powerless vassals of Washington, then there is no way for the peoples’ representatives in Congress or state houses to draft laws that would correct the situation. The entire point of this century-long quest to centralize power was to remove it from the clumsy hands of foolish American citizens. We are spectators to a game show in Washington. We might be able to vote a few of the contestants off the show, but we have no control over the rules of the game.

Levin aims to change the rules of the game… or, more properly, reset them, to restore the brilliant system put in place by America’s Founders. With the situation explained and his goals set forth in a few introductory pages, he executes the rest of his book with the planning and precision of a SEAL team taking an objective. Each of his proposed “Liberty Amendments” is laid out in a brief chapter that explains its importance, sources it to the writings of the Founding Fathers, and anticipates the more reasonable objections that would likely be raised. Little time is wasted on the unreasonable objections, for Levin does not intend to address an audience of the stupid, greedy, or hysterical. He also knows his statist adversaries are not interested in rationally discussing the death of the Leviathan they nourished for generations.

A Constitutional reset is necessary because the progressive project is a cascade of lost freedoms, designed so that each step is irreversible, and every inch of ground taken by the State is claimed forever. The distribution of power to unelected bureaucrats is a key element of this process. One of the Liberty Amendments “sunsets” all federal departments and agencies, unless Congress reauthorizes them every three years by majority vote. Every big-ticket Executive Branch regulation would be subjected to review by a joint congressional committee. This amendment would pull the plug on the unstoppable federal bureaucracy, forcing every department to perpetually justify its existence, and terminating President Obama’s beloved practice of circumventing Congress to legislate by decree.

Another Liberty Amendment likewise reins in the judicial branch, setting term limits for Supreme Court justices, and giving Congress the power to override Supreme Court opinions with a three-fifths vote, without risk of presidential veto. Three-fifths of the state legislatures can also join forces to knock down a Court decision. That’s a recurring theme of the Liberty Amendments: the restoration of both congressional and state power. As Levin repeatedly reminds us, nothing worried the Founders more than the rise of a despotic national executive, such as the one we have now. The original states never would have signed on to a federal government that turned them into puppets. There were strong logical arguments against these outcomes, which power-hungry progressives understood quite well, back when they first set about overturning the Constitutional order. Modern progressives don’t think they need to understand those arguments any more, because the foundation of the total State has been laid, and the clock can never be “turned back,” as one of their favorite slogans has it. This should leave them at a severe intellectual disadvantage, if the Liberty Amendments become a topic of national debate.

Some of Levin’s proposed amendments are intended to clarify language that already exists in the Constitution, such as the much-abused Commerce Clause – lately interpreted as a warrant for unlimited federal control of all human activity, although the Founders most certainly did not intend it to be taken that way. Our language has changed over the centuries, always in a way that expands the Left’s desire for centralized control. The authors of the Constitution would find our current understanding of the word “commerce” to be utterly deranged – indeed, they might even ask what the point of their Revolution was, if “interstate commerce” was to become a writ for powers beyond the wildest dreams of daft old King George.

Two of the proposed Liberty Amendments are devastating blows against imperial federal power, making it easier for states to amend the Constitution, and giving them a brief window of opportunity to strike down both congressional legislation and Executive Branch legislation. Levin also makes a compelling argument against the Seventeenth Amendment, which provided for the direct election of United States senators. Senators were supposed to be instruments of the state legislatures, while the House of Representatives would be filled by popular vote. I have never read a better explanation for why this was important, and how it gave state governments a vitally needed hand in the crafting of federal legislation.

I’ve also seen no better case made for term limits on Congress, as Levin astutely points out that not only do Jurassic representatives-for-life distort the distribution of power in Congress, but they invest a great deal of our national energy (and funding!) in maintaining their 85-percent-plus re-election rate. Surely some of those “safe” districts would merely replace Retiring Party Drone A with New Party Drone B, but as it stands, far too many representatives discover they can most easily secure lifetime tenure by representing the Leviathan State instead of their constituents, tapping the federal treasury to purchase reliable voters.

The reason all of these goals must be accomplished through Constitutional amendment is that any other instrument of legislation or representation can be twisted to the purposes of the central State. Levin makes an irrefutable case that we long ago passed the point of no return for reforming our bloated, degenerate, dying federal government by winning a few elections. The people who rigged this system made certain to armor it against future dissent from unhappy voters – one man, one vote, one time, every step of the way, with each new progressive “achievement” promptly declared more immutable than the tattered old scrap of parchment kept under glass at the National Archives. Having studied the provisions for a Constitutional convention, Levin is convinced that the high bar for state ratification of any proposed amendments will keep it from becoming a carnival of kooks. The kooks are winning anyway. What could they get by amending the Constitution that our eternal bureaucracy and despotic executive branch aren’t giving them, one lost liberty at a time?

If you want to bring the ship of state into drydock, instead of slightly adjusting its course, The Liberty Amendments provides an excellent set of schematics. Levin’s strategy is the only way for the American people to have a say on all the things we’ve been told we don’t get to vote on any more. Reading this book will help you appreciate the terrible magnitude of what we have lost, and the intractable nature of an arrogant system that dictates to us instead of representing us, appropriating the language of “democracy” to dignify what really amounts to quelling dissent against whatever the ruling class wants to do next. And if you’re not already a Constitutional scholar of Mark Levin’s caliber, you might be surprised to learn just how accurately the supposedly out-of-touch and obsolete Founders predicted everything happening today. Why, reading Chapter Eight of The Liberty Amendments, you’d think John Adams was taking daily delivery of the New York Times through a time warp. I suspect he and his peers would have little argument with Levin’s recommendations.

Conservative Doc Ben Carson Reveals Why He Spoke Out Against Obama’s Policies at Prayer Breakfast…

Dr. Benjamin Carson Reveals Why He Spoke Out Against Obamas Policies at National Prayer Breakfast

With President Barack Obama sitting just feet away, Dr. Benjamin Carson stood up for conservative principles in his speech at Thursday’s National Prayer Breakfast, discussing the national debt, political correctness and even healthcare. Readers loved his speech so much that TheBlaze’s story on it went viral.

On Friday, Carson appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” to explain why he felt compelled to speak out against the big government policies endorsed by Obama, in front of Obama.

Carson, a renown neurosurgeon, said the response to his speech has been “overwhelmingly” positive. However, he argued he didn’t make a conservative argument, but rather a “logical” and “common-sense” one.

“I don’t know where we left our brains,” he told host Sean Hannity.

Carson went on to talk about his life story, saying he grew up in a single parent home in a poverty-stricken area. He said his mother “refused to be a victim” and “never felt sorry for herself,” despite only having a third grade education.

Regarding his comments on political correctness, the neurosurgeon emphasized the importance of “freedom of speech and freedom of expression” in the United States.

“And yet, we have imposed upon people restrictions on what they say, on what they can think. The media, I think is the largest proponent of this,” he explained.

He lambasted the media’s outrage at Brent Musburger’s flattering comments about Alabama beauty queen Katherine Webb during the BCS National Championship.

In the second portion of his interview with Hannity, Carson argued he didn’t craft his message based on who was going to be in attendance. In other words, wasn’t trying to stick it to Obama in his speech.

“It really didn’t matter who I was sitting in front of, because I always pray before I give a speech and I ask God to give me the right things to say. And I think that it’s very rare these days for people to speak the truth,” he said. “Meanwhile, the fabric of our nation is being destroyed.

One of the “real dangers” facing America, according to Carson, is the fact that people don’t know “anything” about things like history or technology. “They don’t think for themselves,” he added.

Seizing upon what many of Carson’s supporters are probably wondering, Hannity asked him if he would ever consider running for president. The doctor did not it rule out, but said God would have to “grab him by the collar and make him do it.”

Video: Prayer Breakfast: "We've Reached A Point Where People Are Actually Afraid To Say What They

If nothing else, the look on Obama's face as he SUFFERS through the brilliance of Dr. Ben Carson is priceless! Dr. Carson takes shot after shot at Obama while Obama is forced to sit and listen. Dr. Ben Carson is the REAL deal, he (unlike Obama) was raised by a single mother in the ghetto's of Detroit. Obama, on the other hand, lived a pretty comfortable lifestyle. Dr. Ben Carson doesn't use his color of skin to his advantage (which is not the Obama way) and he doesn't think we should "punish" those who have earned their successes by taking from them and giving to others who have not. After watching this video in it's entirety, I am quite sure President and Mrs. Obama would have preferred to be sitting in a dental chair having a ROOT CANAL!

Rush Limbaugh Show:

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: As for Obama, he went to the National Prayer Breakfast today. I was reading a blog, the White House Dossier, a guy who used to be part of the White House press corps. Keith Koffler is his name. I didn't see Obama at the prayer breakfast today, but he said Obama was barely awake. You know, Obama doesn't show until ten o'clock in the morning. He's a nighthawk. He's a night owl. Obama stays up late and he doesn't get up early. So this guy's describing Obama at the prayer breakfast as having heavy eyelids and chewing Nicorette to deal with his nicotine addiction. He was openly chewing gum and wiping his eyes as though trying to remove the morning crustiness.

You ever have that happen to you, the morning crustiness in your eye and have to wipe that out?

That's what he described Obama as doing. Koffler said Obama's remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast were perfunctory and listless, as though he really didn't want to be there but has to do this kind of thing. So we have some sound bites from this. Let's go to 'em right now. This is Obama in Washington at the National Prayer Breakfast. Now, it didn't start 'til something like ten or 10:30 but apparently he had to get up early. He had to be somewhere at 7:30, I guess, for the actual breakfast itself. In the White House Dossier piece, Keith Koffler makes the point that -- well, I inferred from his piece that -- Obama's not out of bed by then.

So he was not entirely cogent. He just wasn't there. Let's give a listen. We have two sound bites of Obama.

OBAMA: It is always just a wonderful event.

RUSH: (snoring)

OBAMA: But I do worry sometimes that as soon as we leave the prayer breakfast, everything we've been talkin' about --

RUSH: (snoring)

OBAMA: -- the whole time of the prayer breakfast --

RUSH: (snoring)

OBAMA: -- seems to be forgotten on the same day of the prayer breakfast.

AUDIENCE: (smattering of laughter)

OBAMA: I mean --

RUSH: (snoring)

OBAMA: -- you'd like to think that that the shelf life wasn't so short! I go back to the Oval Office (snickers), and I start watching the cable news networks, and it's like we didn't pray.

RUSH: This is unreal.

I love this. So prayer doesn't work, and this proves it.

Obama goes to the prayer breakfast, and everybody else goes to the prayer breakfast. It's a wonderful event. And it's all about him, you see. The National Prayer Breakfast... (interruption) Oh, don't believe that when he says he doesn't watch cable news. He watches it, and he has people assigned to watch it, just like I do. (Obama interpretation) "It's a wonderful event, the National Prayer Breakfast. It's always about me every year, and I enjoy coming for that reason, but I do worry sometimes that as soon as we leave the prayer breakfast, everything we've been talking about the whole prayer breakfast seems to be forgotten, on the same day of the prayer breakfast.

"I mean, you'd like to think that the shelf life of the prayer wasn't short. I go back to the Oval Office, and I start watching cable news, and it's like we didn't pray at all." So God's not listening. (interruption) Well, I think everybody else is praying to Obama, but gods don't pray. They sit there and listen to the prayers. But, anyway, can you imagine any other president ripping prayer, even in a joke way? (Obama impression) "Well, we all come up here and -- and we pray, and (chuckling) it doesn't even work! It doesn't even last the whole day. I go back to White House, turn on TV, and I'm being criticized. The National Prayer Breakfast is all about Obama. Here's the second sound bite...

OBAMA: That's what I thought of as I took the oath of office a few weeks ago and touched those Bibles: The comfort that Scripture gave Lincoln and King. Most of all I thought about their humility. Let us retain that humility not just during this hour, but for every hour, and let me suggest that those of us with the most power and influence need to be the most humble.

RUSH: Right. Like right before you decide to pick somebody off the Kill List and launch the drone. Right! Now, the next speaker is the Johns Hopkins Hospital Pediatric Neurosurgery director, Dr. Benjamin Carson, and this guy rips Obamaism. He ripped into Obamaism at the prayer breakfast with Obama sitting there.

CARSON: Well, some people say, they say, "Well, that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made ten." Where does it say you have to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot!

AUDIENCE: (applause)

CARSON: You know, we don't need to hurt him. It's that kind of thinking...

AUDIENCE: (applause)

CARSON: It's that kind of thinking that has resulted in 602 banks in the Cayman Islands. That money needs to be back here, building our infrastructure and creating jobs.

RUSH: Whoa! Right on. Did you hear that? This guy is talking to Obama. Obama's sitting there, and Dr. Carson is saying, "People say... 'Well, that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made ten.' Where does it say you have to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot!" So this neurosurgeon is speaking out in favor of the 1%, the 5%, the 10% who are actually paying the freight in this country via income taxes. They're the ones actually paying the freight. What do we gotta hurt 'em for? I mean, they're already putting money in the pot. Why do we gotta hurt 'em?

He's exactly right. And then he says: You want to know why we got 602 banks in the Caymans with American money? Because they're running away. They don't want to be hurt.

I love this guy. He wasn't finished, either.

CARSON: Here's my solution: When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account to which money can be contributed -- pretax -- from the time you're born 'til the time you die. When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels.

AUDIENCE: (laughter and applause)

CARSON: Number one. And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care.

RUSH: That is Dr. Benjamin Carson, who is the Johns Hopkins Hospital Pediatric Neurosurgery director, and he has given his recipe there for a health care system the exact opposite of Obamacare. This is at the National Prayer Breakfast today. So you see, these people are out there, and they're willing to speak up. They need to be encouraged.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Okay, my friends, I want to spend some time here, just a few minutes, on Dr. Benjamin Carson. You don't hear people speak this way. The Republicans don't speak this way to Obama. They don't speak this way about Obama's policies. Here you have the guy who's head of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital at the National Prayer Breakfast. He says, "People say... 'Well, that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made ten.' Where does it say you have to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot!" The guy's paying the freight. What's he done?

His solution to health care: "When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account to which money can be contributed -- pretax -- from the time you're born 'til the time you die." We're already spending this money and more anyway. He's simply talking about reallocating resources. Put it in the hands of the people who are going to spend it. Put them in charge of their own health care. They build it up while they're young, while they're children. A nest egg gets built in their health savings accounts. It's pretax. It's put in this account from the time you're born 'til the time you die.

It's the equivalent of what would be spent on you in other forms -- and when you die, whatever you haven't used, you can pass on to your family members. Do with it what you want. You can pass it on. You can make it part of your estate. But you are in charge of your health care. You are in charge of how much you spend on it and how much you get and where you go. This reintroduces competition. This reintroduces market forces. This is what brings costs down. So in 43 seconds, the director of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins gave the answer to Obamacare.

In 43 seconds.

It's not 2700 pages, and it doesn't enlarge the government.

It doesn't hire 16,000 IRS agents, and it covers everybody -- and there would probably be money left over after all of this.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I'm gonna take advantage of the occasion of these comments by Dr. Benjamin Carson to explain what a health savings account is to people who may not know. Because, you know, we have constant audience expansion and audience growth here. Since the election -- well, even prior to that, but -- there are people listening here for the first time ever or they've been listening for a year or two. So, of course, they haven't heard everything that you have if you've been here for the whole 20, 25 years.

But this is really profound what this man said at the National Prayer Breakfast. Now, let's put Obamacare in Column A and just briefly review. It has 2700 pages. The federal government is empowered to eventually make every health care decision for every American. The older Americans get, the less likely the government will authorize spending money to treat them, particularly if they have terminal diseases.

That's because the government will determine that it's not worth the money. If somebody is near the life expectancy, and they have a debilitating disease, the government will decide it's not worth it. This is in Obamacare. The term "death panel" isn't, but that's how it works out. This is all in Obamacare. It's "as the secretary of Health and Human Services shall determine." There is a board. There is a panel of people.

We don't know who it's gonna be, but there is a panel of people who will make decisions on the allocation of health care money which is all gonna come from government. That's eventually, when this is fully implemented. If your parent or grandparent comes down with a very bad disease late in life, the government may decide it makes no sense to spend the money in treating that disease because the expected number of years left in that person's life is very few.

They might think we can spend that money elsewhere on other people or on young people who might be more productive. Now, in a free society, this shouldn't happen. You need to be in charge, just like when you go rent a hotel room. You buy hotel room where you want, where you can afford, where you want to stay. Same thing with food, same thing with a car, same thing with anything else you buy. You buy it based on what you can afford, based on what you want.

Of course the American dream is that you continue to work hard and try to improve your standard of living so that you can afford better and more things for you and your family as you go on through life. That's what's fundamentally changed, and is in the process of fundamentally changing in our country. Imagine if you had to go to the government for a hotel room. Imagine if you had to go to the government for your food or for your telephone service or anything else, be it a need or a desire.

The fact that governments, state and federal, are involved in so much of the health care system is he reason why the price has skyrocketed. There isn't any competition per se. You're not in charge, and the consumer needs to be in charge of what is spent by that consumer for that consumer. That causes and creates competition for that consumer's dollar, and that's how prices are kept affordable. That doesn't exist in health care today.

So the Obamacare plan is 2700 pages with a panel that will determine who gets treated and who doesn't. There are 16,000 new IRS agents to determine whether or not you're complying with the law by either having an insurance policy or paying a fine or a penalty if you don't. Virtually every aspect of your health care, the portion of your life dealing with health care is going to be administered by and monitored by government, with you having nothing to do with it -- and that just scratches the surface.

Remember the woman who appeared...? Well, you may not remember. ABC, about three years ago, did a primetime special with the president the East Room of the White House where the president sought to explain his health care plan. There were American citizens in the audience. A woman stood up (an American citizen, folks) and actually asked the president of the United States -- not her doctor, not a family member, but the president of the United States (summarized) -- "Sir, what about my 100-year-old mother?

"She has a huge will to live, she's got a great spirit, but she needs a pacemaker. Will you factor things like spirit and the will to live in determining whether people like my mother will get a pacemaker?" Why is a citizen asking the president of the United States if her mother can have a medical procedure? Sometimes I think I'm the only one who thought that obscene. Well, the president stood up and answered it. He put a smile on his face and said, "No, we can't take things into account like will to live and spirit.

"We just can't do that. There are just gonna be times," the president said to this woman, "where the best thing we can do is just give your mother a pill and let her try to enjoy her remaining days." The show ended and people discussed it as though nothing offensive had happened. This doesn't it happen in a free country. This doesn't happen in the United States of five years ago! This doesn't happen.

The president of the United States doesn't conduct a health care seminar in the White House with citizens asking if he will permit their family members to live, if he will permit their family members to be treated medically! This was before Obamacare was signed into law. Well, now it's been signed into law and it's in the process of implementing. Now we've been told the IRS that the cheapest -- the cheapest -- mandatory health care plan for a family of four starting in 2016 or 2018, whenever this is fully implemented, will be between $16,000 and $20,000 a year.

The cheapest mandatory plan! If you don't have one, you have to pay a penalty. Whether you have health insurance or not, it's gonna cost you. So that's, briefly, what we have at present. This is what has been passed by Congress and signed into law, and this is what's being implemented. This and many other horror stories. So then we have Dr. Benjamin Carson who, again, spoke today at the National Prayer Breakfast. He is the Johns Hopkins Hospital Pediatric Neurosurgery director. He's got an entirely different idea. Play sound bite nine again. Let's hear it in his words.

This is his alternative to Obamacare.

CARSON: Here's my solution: When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account to which money can be contributed -- pretax -- from the time you're born 'til the time you die. When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels.

AUDIENCE: (laughter and applause)

CARSON: Number one. And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money, we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care.

RUSH: Now, here's the point. What is a health savings account? Many of you in the audience already know, and I'm gonna ask you to indulge me as I try to explain them to people in the audience who don't know. Pretty much what Dr. Carson said. When you're born, a bank account -- look at it that way. When you're born, a bank account is started in your name. You get a birth certificate, and you get a medical card and a health savings account. Money is contributed pretax, from the time you're born until you die. They say, "Where do we get the money?"

We simply shift from all of the money that's being spent on health care now by governments, and we shift it to the people, to you. We put it in a bank account for you. Everybody gets one. Health care spending is 53% of GDP, or it's heading in that direction. We're spending $3.5 trillion dollars every year in this country, $1.3 trillion of which we don't even have. So we take 40, 50% of that and we allocate it to the people. It's theirs in the first place. They earned it. Your parents earned it if you don't have enough to start the health savings account. You obviously don't when you're an infant. But it grows.

You then need to go to the doctor, you then need medical treatment, you've got a health savings, you have a savings accounts, you've got a bank account with money in it that otherwise would go to insurance companies or go to the government or wherever else. But it's yours. You spend it as you need it, when medical events come up. Now, we're talking in this case, it's about standard, ordinary operating procedure doctor visits.

We're not talking about catastrophic injuries. Those are handled by insurance and would continue to be. But every day commonplace doctor visits, hospital treatments, and so forth, are handled by your health savings accounts. And whatever you don't spend, you get to keep and use however you wish, thereby motivating you to do two things: Not spend it all on medicine, because people are spending a lot more on their health than they actually need to be. And the second thing is you'll help create competition among medical providers, among doctors, among hospitals, among MRI testing centers, to get your business. They'll have to have a price that's attractive to you, just like anybody else trying to sell you anything.

There might even be sales someday on health care, if this system were ever implemented. But the point is you're in charge of it. And until we reach the point where the consumer has a direct relationship with his health care in terms of cost and expense, we're never gonna get costs down. In 43 seconds, Dr. Carson here gave the opposite to Obamacare and a way that would work, by putting every person in charge of his or her health care.

Now, some people might not want that responsibility, and that's what people like Obama and the Democrats bank on. But a health savings account is just money that's already being spent on health care and health insurance being reallocated, transferred, if you will, back to you. It was yours in the first place anyway. You earned it. That's the only way the government ever got it. You or your parents earned it. They don't have a dime without taking it from somebody first or borrowing it or printing it. This plan just, you keep your money. It's in an account where you use it for medical care. What you don't use is yours to do with as you wish, include pass on to your kids when you die.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: We got Jody from Madison, Wisconsin. Jody, great to have you here. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Oh, what a pleasure to talk to you. I've been listening to you since the eighties, and I never called you before, but I'm telling you, when you had that sound bite on with Dr. Carson, I almost dropped my jaw. And I did run in and I called Dr. Carson and told him he's my hero. It's amazing. I've been saying the same thing for years, ever since this health care junk coming out and explaining to people how HSAs would have solved all of the problems. Not only that, just think of how wages would increase, and employment, 'cause it's no longer on the backs of the employer. I just can't tell you how astounded I was today to hear some sanity out of a human being.

RUSH: Look, I realize this is extremely encouraging. It's uplifting to know that, A, there's somebody out there who understands and knows this, but even more than that, that's willing to say it --

CALLER: Yes.

RUSH: -- to Obama's face. This man said it while Obama's sitting there. Now, this is easy for me to say, but I'm gonna tell you something. This is the kind of stuff the Republican Party needs to be saying. This is the kind of stuff the Republican Party should have been saying for the past four years. Now, I know they tried various times and places to talk about health savings accounts, but their plan was still the government at the center of everything. That's what I mean by the Democrats create an agenda item, the Republicans say, "Oh, okay, is that what we're talking about today? Okay, national health care? Well, we don't entirely believe in that, so we'll come up with an alternative," but it's still an agenda set by the Democrats.

What's remarkable about Dr. Carson. Here's my solution. A person's born. He gets a health savings account to which money can be contributed pretax. Think of it as a 401(k) for health care. You put as much money in it as you want and, by the way, we'll supplant that because there's money being spent on your behalf, theoretically, in health care by the government, just reallocate it. But in 43 seconds the man had a free market based solution to the problem that was understandable and inspiring. And it does make you say, it does make you ask, "Where's this been for the last four years? Where has been the leadership articulating this kind of thing?"

Not sure if you have heard Ben Carson's story, but it's
 a wonderful story of overcoming the odds and becoming a famous pediatric neurosurgeon.  I've heard him speak many times on YOUTUBE and you'd do well to go listen to as many as you can, and share his speeches as well.

He is brilliant and puts his money where his mouth is, as he and his wife sponsor a wonderful scholarship program that he speaks of in this video.

Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan and was raised by his single mother, Sonya Carson. He struggled academically throughout elementary school, but started to excel in middle school and throughout high school. After graduating with honors from Southwestern High School, he attended Yale University, where he earned a degree in Psychology. He chose to go to Yale because in College Bowl, an old knowledge competition TV program, he saw Yale compete against and defeat many other colleges, including Harvard. Carson wanted to participate in College Bowl, but the program was
 discontinued. From Yale, he attended University of Michigan Medical School.
