By TAL KOPAN | 11/19/13 6:53 AM EST - POLITICO: As more bad poll numbers continue to pour in for President Barack Obama, a new survey finds that if the 2012 election matchup were held this month, Mitt Romney would hold the edge with the voters.
Romney topped Obama 49 percent to 45 percent among registered voters in the Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday. Among all Americans, the 2012 rivals would be tied, at 47 percent.
Obama beat Romney 51 percent to 47 percent a year ago to win a second term.
The poll also found more bad news for Obama: His approval was down to 42 percent, a fall of 6 points from a month ago. Fifty-five percent disapproved of the job he is doing as president.
Support for the president’s signature health care law was also down 6 points since late October, standing at 40 percent. Fifty-seven percent said they oppose the law. Similarly, approval of Obama’s handling of Obamacare was also underwater, with 33 percent approving to 67 percent disapproving.
The Post surveyed 1,006 adults from Nov. 14 to 17 for the poll, which has an error margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
To guarantee the will of the people would decide who would govern us our Founding Fathers gave each state the right to apportion its Electoral College votes (ECVs) as it wished.
Democrats don’t really like this because it opens the door to changes that would give people more of a voice in the selection of our presidents. Throughout the last two hundred years, they have often relied on voter fraud to win presidential elections.
This is why they are gearing up to fight a new plan for awarding ECVs being considered in six states totally controlled by Republicans. Barack Obama won all six.
The plan calls for an ECV to be awarded to a candidate for each Congressional District he/she wins, thus ending the “winner take all” system which invites fraud in a few districts which is so rampant as to smother the honest votes throughout a state.
This “win the district, win the ECVs” system is entirely legal and is the mirror image (comparing honesty to corruption) of the Democrats’ plan to award ECVs of some states to the winner of the nationwide popular vote. Doing this would mean that California would not even have to bother counting its presidential votes. It could just wait until the results of ballot box stuffing operations in the northeastern states were complete and say, “Here’s our 55 ECVs” to the Democrat candidate.
How things would change.
If this system was in place last November, six states Obama won in spite of being completely controlled by Republicans could have awarded GOP candidate Mitt Romney enough additional ECVs to win by a narrow margin.
The state-by state-differences in Romney’s favor would have been as follows: In Florida +15; Ohio + 12; Michigan + 9; Wisconsin + 5; Virginia + 9 and Pennsylvania +12 for a grand total of 63 new ECVs and a final tally of 273 ECVs.
The chances of this plan being passed in these states are very real. For various reasons, each Republican governor would be eager to sign this clearly Constitutional change into law.
Under this plan the Democrats could continue to win big cities with 112% of the population voting Democrat but not come close to stealing the ECVs of states whose people want a Republican president.
If we are ever to regain our freedom, passing this legislation is essential.
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.
Stuart, FL – West for Congress campaign manager Tim Edson released the following statement regarding Patrick Murphy’s lawyers’ attempt to get the 19th Circuit Court Judge to disallow the retabulation of early votes agreed to by the St. Lucie County Canvassing Board:
“In a last-ditch effort to suppress the vote, Murphy’s lawyers submitted sloppy and incomplete papers to the Court this morning to try to strong-arm the judge into preventing today’s retabulation already underway. The Murphy team’s motion is procedurally and substantively lacking. With every action attempted, Murphy demonstrates a complete lack of respect and utter disregard for the voters of St. Lucie County.
Murphy’s efforts bring to mind the dark times in our nation’s history when politicians tried to manipulate the law to suppress the votes, and we are appalled by Murphy’s apparent contempt for the voting rights of citizens to have their ballots accurately and fairly tabulated.
Murphy knows there are votes that have not been counted, but he’s taking legal action to ensure the results are certified anyway. Perhaps the Justice Department should investigate Murphy’s attempt to steal himself a seat in Congress at the expense of the voters in St. Lucie County.”
@nikkihaley Please do not cast votes via electoral college. Read 12th amendment! We can do this. Oust Obama. He's abused presidential power. – Please send this to the leadership and tea party in your state!
If people want Their State to withhold the Electoral CollegeVote they should also notify their Governor and Sec of State at a minimum.
Ok patriots – Time to pull together to determine effective ways to make a vote recount happen before electoral college makes this all history!
American citizens died. The story behind the Benghazi tragedy needs to be revealed. Mainstream news, to get their candidate Barack Obama re-elected, largely ignored the tragedy of Benghazi and continue to do so.
Each day we learn more disturbing facts about what happened in Benghazi as emails and cables are slowly uncovered. Now we have the possibility of blackmail of the CIA director. The picture is not complete but it has concrete form and it sure looks ugly.
There are many things we don’t know because there has been an effort to cover up the details. What happened in the White House and the chain of command does not require an investigation. President Obama knows what he did, said and ordered or did not order. That we haven’t heard anything from him for two months is disgraceful. Early responses were obvious and deliberate attempts to mislead.
The Journal argues that the Obama administration has sought to avoid accountability by offering “evasive, inconsistent and conflicting accounts about one of the most serious American overseas defeats in recent years.” The editorial continues: “Unresolved questions about Benghazi loom over this election because the White House has failed to resolve them.”
Among those unanswered questions: “Why did the U.S. not heed warnings about a growing Islamist presence in Benghazi and better protect the diplomatic mission and CIA annex?” And: “What exactly happened on the day of 9/11? During the over six hours that the compounds in Benghazi were under siege, could the U.S. have done more to save lives?” And: “What was President Obama doing and ordering his subordinates to do in those fateful hours? Why has the Administration’s story about what took place in Benghazi been so haphazard and unclear?”
These questions, and many others, need answers. The administration has managed to avoid providing them for nearly eight weeks, with a much needed assist from a suddenly lack of curiosity among the truth-seeking journalists at many of America’s most influential news outlets. Perhaps after the election that curiosity will return.
There can be no excuse for this cover-up, regardless of how incompetent the reaction of the President and those under him might have been. Indeed, the country has grown used to their incompetence and would not be surprised to see another example of it. Incompetence has ruled domestic policy and now appears to be the driver in foreign policy as well.
If the cover-up of Watergate was an impeachable offense, then just what does the cover-up of Benghazi warrant? In comparison, impeachment would seem to be an easy decision solely based on the attempt to cover up. But that is where the comparison ends. Watergate was a “third-rate burglary” that took place in an attempt to gain political advantage. We don’t know what or if there was a crime in Benghazi, but the country deserves to know the details. Errors of omission and possibly commission were committed, necessitating a cover-up. These errors are not criminal per se. If incompetence were a criminal offense, few presidents would have survived one term.
The entire incident, it seems, could have been politically defused early on with a simple explanation that could have gone something like the following: “We deemed the risk too great to commit additional American troops in a rescue attempt.” Obviously that would not suffice as a full explanation, but it would have ended much speculation until all the facts came out. Perhaps that was not thought prudent in advance of the impending election. Or perhaps there was more going on than would make even such a benign statement unwise.
The cover-up itself invites impeachment on the same grounds that it prompted the Watergate proceedings. When a president is seen as a liar, his effectiveness and political viability is questionable. It is likely that Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, saw through Obama regarding his integrity early on. Neither party seemed willing to work with him or perhaps never were given the chance. His imperial presidency saw no need for Congress.
Now we get this summary accounting from Doug Ross:
• The President’s most trusted adviser, Valerie Jarrett, was sent to Iran to secretly beg the Iranians to come to some kind of an accommodation regarding their nuclear program
• The CIA director was schtupping his biographer, Paul Broadwell author of All In, and could have been blackmailed by the White House to lie under oath
• For the first time in decades, a Russian nuclear attack submarine skirted the East Coast of the U.S. EXCLUSIVE! RUSSIA Caught Exporting US Missile Tech – FBI FINALLY INDICTS 10
Oh. And one other facet to consider: the background or existence of each of these incidents was carefully and purposefully hidden from the public until after the election.
Oh, and about the press coverage! Can you imagine if this event had happened in September before an election with George Bush in the White House? But that is a story for another day… which means the liberal media helped Team Obama helped rig the election and is still feeding the President softball questions. Add that to the voter fraud and Obama did not win! Stand-up America while we still have something to fight for! Get involved… We have until December 17th.
Paula Broadwell may have divulged new information on Benghazi scandal
Paula Broadwell
WND: TEL AVIV – Did Paula Broadwell, the alleged mistress of ex-CIA Director David Petraeus, reveal a secret CIA detention center in Benghazi during a public speech she gave last month?
Broadwell, a former counterterror operative, co-authored a bestselling biography of Petraeus, titled “All In.” She discussed the book during a keynote speech on Oct. 26 at a University of Denver alumni symposium. The speech is available in full on YouTube.
During a question-and-answer session, Broadwell was asked about this year’s Sept. 11 attacks against the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
She stated: “Now I don’t know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex had actually had taken a couple of Libya militia members prisoner. And they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back. So that’s still being vetted.”
The existence of a U.S. prison or CIA detention center in Benghazi would be a new development in the debate surrounding the attacks there. The information does not appear to be publicly known.
An extensive WND search of news media coverage of the Benghazi attacks could find no mention of prisoners being held at the CIA annex.
Yesterday, the New York Times reported that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor spoke to an FBI whistleblower two weeks ago who accused Petraeus of not only having an extramarital affair, but potentially jeopardizing the security of classified information.
During the same university speech, Broadwell may have also divulged information that Petraeus knew “within 24 hours” of CIA annex’s request for reinforcements, reported Israel National News.
“The challenging thing for Gen. Petraeus,” she stated, “is that in his new position, he’s not allowed to communicate with the press. So he’s known all of this – they had correspondence with the CIA station chief in Libya, within 24 hours they kind of knew what was happening.”
Earlier she had said the military could have sent reinforcements.
“They were requesting the – it’s called the C-in-C’s In Extremis Force – a group of Delta Force operators, our very, most talented guys we have in the military. They could have come and reinforced the consulate and the CIA annex.”
I went to bed at about 2a.m. the night of Election 2012 hoping I would wake up to a news cycle miracle along the lines of the correction after the famous 1948 Election Chicago Tribune headlines: Dewey wins over Truman (It would have been poetic justice!) But when I woke up Obama had still been re-elected, Florida was still too close to call definitively and whispers of voter fraud were everywhere.
Per the Tampa Bay Online and other sources, at 3:30p.m. on Wednesday November 7th, President Barack Obama was still holding onto a slim lead, but too close to call, in Florida the largest swing state, which the President ended up not needing to win for re-election because he captured several other battleground states. At the time of the writing for this piece Obama's lead in Florida was much less than last night — 46,666 votes, or 49.9 percent to 49.3 percent for Romney. All precincts were in, but provisional and absentee ballots were yet to be counted, which raises a red flag in the mind of the informed voter. If you have paid attention to the voter fraud fears. warnings and issues around the country and the voter machine problem reports, the Allen West loss in Florida… who is asking for a recount, along with the slim lead in that state for President Obama, raises questions… as does the Mia Love loss when she was way ahead in Utah, a state that Governor Romney carried. After all the only people the left dislikes more than tea partiers and conservative women is conservative blacks. Amazingly Michele Bachmann survived and was re-elected. But how easy would it be to set a few machines in precincts like those of Allen West or Mia Love that would favor their opponents as well as President Obama?
The reality is that America either committed suicide or was murdered through voter fraud on November 6, 2012 as the mainstream media remains silent and is still spinning the story of Obama’s re-election victory.
Investment guru and financial advisor Porter Stansberry put out a piece before the Election warning investors and Americans in general that the Obama machine and the major powers supporting him would guarantee that President Obama won re-election by any means necessary. And when you look at the polls, analyzed by experts like Karl Rove, Michael Barone, Dick Morris, Joe Trippi, and the list goes on, who predicted a very close election or a Romney win, as well at the enthusiasm on the right and the size and enthusiasm of the crowds that appeared at the Romney and Ryan events verses the scant and often paid for crowds at the Obama and Biden events throughout much of the election season you have to shake your head… the numbers just don’t add up! Many feel that Mitt Romney should have contested the election instead of being the gentleman and man of character that he is. I am among those!
Mitt Romney is a decent, patriotic, kind and God-fearing man with exactly the background and skills needed to turn America around and put people back to work. He and Paul Ryan would have put our country on the road to fixing our debt crisis and would have returned us to a place of respect in the world community. We chose the sly candy man (or Santa Claus as Rush said) instead of the honest ‘meat and potatoes man’, even though there is poison in the candy.
After decades of dumbing down our population and 4-years of the Obama Administration actively creating a dependency culture added to the changing demographics of the electorate including 11 million Latinos breaking for Obama (A higher percentage of Hispanics voted for Obama this time than in 2008), months worth of negative ads by Team Obama in the swing or battleground states against Governor Romney that tainted the electorate while Romney was still in a contentious primary fight, Gary Johnson and Ron Paul’s Libertarians siphoning off Republican votes in some key states like Colorado, Hurricane Sandy, Team Romney deciding not to go after Obama directly on Benghazigate and the photo op vision left in voters’ minds of New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie bear hugging President Obama and even if Ronald Reagan could have swooped down from Heaven riding Shadowfax, he wouldn't have been elected yesterday in the culture we live in now.
But perhaps the two greatest contributors to the Obama re-election added to the factors above are voter fraud around the country including the registration of dead dogs, cartoon characters and dead people, the rigging of voting machines and the DOJ’s efforts to block voter ID laws… plus the lack of turnout in large enough numbers by Evangelicals, Caucasians, seniors and Constitutionalists for Romney and the lack of awareness of the true issues and facts by Obama voters that can largely be attributed to the liberal mainstream media that have protected Obama since 2007. Only one third of Americans eligible to vote, exercised their right and privilege. And how many of those were duplicates or ineligible or changed votes is another question, plus what happened to the approximately 200 million Americans that did not vote in the most important election of our lifetime(s)?
Election 2012 was a game changer, a defining election, that decided whether America would continue down the entitlement path, becoming a Nanny State, where Americans chose Big Brother and less individual freedom and opportunity in order to guarantee themselves benefits and cultural equality, like Europe has over the past two decades, a socialistic democracy type of system (that has failed miserably and is now falling apart) over a return to American Exceptionalism that guarantees everyone an equal playing field but not governmental mandates and guarantees of welfare or equality and is based on the foundation and documents our Founding Fathers left this country. By re-electing Barack Obama we chose the latter. Dennis Miller said on the Factor on Wednesday that “America will never be the same, at least not in his lifetime” and truer words were never said.
Whatever comes as a result of this election if you did not vote or help spread the information you knew to be ‘true’; or if you voted for Obama without knowing what is going on in Benghazi or what is really in the ObamaCare bill (which you can read it on the Internet); if you are Hispanic and could not see past the immigration issue: if you are black or a minority voter who could not see past the issue of race; if you are a Christian and couldn’t get past Romney being a Mormon or your type of Christian; or if you are a single woman and put ‘free’ birth control and abortions before all else, or if you allowed people to scare you without doing your own homework, you can only blame yourself! It will be your legacy and yours to explain when you children and grandchildren ask, “What were you doing and who did you vote for the day America died?”
Thomas Sowell said today, "Like so many people, in so many countries, who started out to "spread the wealth," Barack Obama has ended up spreading poverty", yet so many still are blind to the reality judging from the election. Others, like many in abusive relationships, just can’t seem to break away. That is perhaps the most frightening lesson on the election.
It has been an unusual day filled with emptiness and sorrow for many… for most who understand history, the Constitution and follow current events, as if a black veil of mourning has covered America. Many felt God would jump in at the last minute and give voters wisdom to right our ship. I think God gave Americans the tools long ago in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, like he gave us the Bible to follow, and he inspired the Founding Fathers to guide our path but we have lost our way. He gave us endless clues over the past 4-years that we made a mistake in 2008 and gave us another wake-up call when the Benghazi terror attack facts were leaked, and again too many people chose not to listen, not to do their homework and not to vote.
We must not give up the fight… but we, as a country, missed ‘the moment’ by re-electing Barack Obama instead of the right man for the job, Mitt Romney. Conservatives will now be called on to work and fight even harder and to start immediately at a grassroots local level.
Since this was originally written, we suspect that many military absentee ballots were perhaps not counted and the reports of suspected voter fraud and discrepancies between exit polls and the reported results could have brought a victory in several states for Governor Romney that might change the entire outcome of the election. Demand that these votes be counted and applied honestly and correctly, whatever the outcome. Our troops give their lives daily for our rights and freedoms, so if there is some truth behind the Duffel Bag’s satirical piece, their votes must be counted! And if there was voter fraud within the U.S. that would changed the outcome of the election, it must be addressed and the votes must be applied correctly. Remember Al Franken… Stand up and join the fight… get out the word to everyone to demand that everyone’s vote is counted and counted honestly and those votes that are ineligible must be pulled!
I have heard speculation that voter fraud on the Democrat side could be as high as 5% of the total ballots cast. The Dow dropped 400 points the two days after the election and layoffs and even companies closing their doors began the morning after Election 2012, once companies and especially small business owners knew that President Obama had been re-elected and that ObamaCare and many of its costs would begin going into affect in January 2012. And the by Friday General Petreus had resigned and the Benghazigate cover-up was moving to page one.
Whether the black veil of mourning continues to hang over America, grows even darker or is lifted is up to ‘We the People’. Will we demand an honest count and even a redo (new balloting) in some areas until we know the outcome of Election 2012 is true and honest and the right people are in office, from President down to the local dog catcher? Will we demand answers, the truth, explanations, and resignations, recalls and impeachments of those responsible for the cover-up(s) in Benghazi and then go back to Fast and Furious. And will conservatives (Republicans) realign the delivery of their message and reach out move effectively allowing more people to feel comfortable in their tent without compromising their values; hence continuing to give people in the future a choice. Or will we grumble in our soup and whine on our computers while let it all slide again… changing the traditions, values and legal precidents of the greatest country on earth forever, as our Founding Fathers spin in their graves? The choice is ours and whether we choose blue sky, the black veil or total darkness, is up to us as individuals, communities, political groups and parties and the whole nation.
On Benghazi, Obama's confidence men think Americans are an easy mark…
Confidence men know that their victim -- "the mark" as he has been called -- is eventually going to realize that he has been cheated. But it makes a big difference whether he realizes it immediately, and goes to the police, or realizes it after the confidence man is long gone.
So part of the confidence racket is creating a period of uncertainty, during which the victim is not yet sure of what is happening. This delaying process has been called "cooling out the mark."
The same principle applies in politics. When the accusations that led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton first surfaced, he flatly denied them all. Then, as the months passed, the truth came out -- but slowly, bit by bit. One of Clinton's own White House aides later called it "telling the truth slowly."
By the time the whole truth came out, it was called "old news," and the clever phrase now was that we should "move on."
It was a successful "cooling out" of the public, keeping them in uncertainty so long that, by the time the whole truth came out, there was no longer the same outrage as if the truth had suddenly come out all at once. Without the support of an outraged public, the impeachment of President Clinton fizzled out in the Senate.
We are currently seeing another "cooling out" process, growing out of the terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi on September 11th this year.
The belated release of State Department e-mails shows that the Obama administration knew, while the attack on the American consulate was still underway, that it was a coordinated, armed terrorist attack. They were getting reports from those inside the consulate who were under attack, as well as surveillance pictures from a camera on an American drone overhead.
About an hour before the attack, the scene outside was calm enough for the American ambassador to accompany a Turkish official to the gates of the consulate to say goodbye. This could hardly have happened if there were protesting mobs there.
Why then did both President Obama and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice keep repeating the story that this was a spontaneous protest riot against an anti-Islamic video in America?
The White House knew the facts -- but they knew that the voting public did not. And it mattered hugely whether the facts became known to the public before or after the election. What the White House needed was a process of "cooling out" the voters, keeping them distracted or in uncertainty as long as possible.
Not only did the Obama administration keep repeating the false story about an anti-Islamic video being the cause of a riot that turned violent, the man who produced that video was tracked down and arrested, creating a media distraction.
All this kept the video story front and center, with the actions and inactions of the Obama administration kept in the background.
The White House had to know that it was only a matter of time before the truth would come out. But time was what mattered, with an election close at hand. The longer they could stretch out the period of distraction and uncertainty -- "cooling out" the voters -- the better. Once the confidence man in the White House was reelected, it would be politically irrelevant what facts came out.
As the Obama administration's video story began to slowly unravel, their earlier misstatements were blamed on "the fog of war" that initially obscures many events. But there was no such "fog of war" in this case. The Obama administration knew what was happening while it was happening.
They didn't know all the details -- and we may never know all the details -- but they knew enough to know that this was no protest demonstration that got out of hand.
From the time it took office, the Obama administration has sought to suppress the very concept of a "war on terror" or the terrorists' war on us. The painful farce of calling the Fort Hood murders "workplace violence," instead of a terrorist attack in our midst, shows how far the Obama administration would go to downplay the dangers of Islamic extremist terrorism.
The killing of Osama bin Laden fed the pretense that the terrorism threat had been beaten. But the terrorists' attack in Libya exposed that fraud -- and required another fraud to try to "cool out" the voters until after election day.

There can be no excuse for this cover-up, regardless of how incompetent the reaction of the President and those under him might have been. Indeed, the country has grown used to their incompetence and would not be surprised to see another example of it. Incompetence has ruled domestic policy and now appears to be the driver in foreign policy as well.
