Gore tells Watergate reporter American people know nothing about Clinton White House

Bob Woodward: sitting next to Gore 'taxing' & 'unpleasant'

An interesting series of quotes came from Bob Woodward recently about Al Gore - calling the former Vice President 'taxing' and 'unpleasant' to sit next to after a recent event he shared with the VP. Even worse, Woodward admitted he asked Gore how much the public knows about what went on during the Clinton administration. The answer: 1%, a number Woodward says made him feel 'icky'. Even ickier - Woodward waited 6 years to make this information public. Glenn Beck reacts on radio today. WATCH

Video: Glenn Reacts to Woodward Comments On Gore…

Woodward is no stranger to corruption in the White House as he helped expose President Nixon’s crimes and abuse of power to the public.

The Hill reports:

In a speech at the Organization for International Investment’s annual dinner at D.C.’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Thursday, the famed Washington Post journalist, who helped uncover the Watergate scandal, disclosed that he doesn’t enjoy the former vice president as a tablemate.

…

Woodward offered up another tidbit from the conversation with his dinner companion. The investigative reporter asked the politician, more than five years after leaving office, how much the public knows about what went on during the Clinton administration. Gore replied, “One percent.”

Woodward admitted that revelation made him feel a bit icky, saying, “I kind of died inside and have to confess to having an unclean thought.”

California: A Constitution Free Zone

Take a good hard look folks… if Obama is re-elected the California Nanny State will be the mirror America will be looking into… if things go well.  Greece and expansion of Sharia and International Law over the Constitution implemented through the United Nations is the other option!

UPI - California Governor Jerry Brown signed two laws protecting the "privacy" of children and vetoed one protecting the privacy of adults.

More Nanny State Insanity…

Look up insanity in the dictionary and a photo of California and that State’s Governor, Jerry Brown, are probably next to the word. If not, they should be, for there is no other explanation for two recently passed laws in that State.

The youngest legal age for using a tanning bed has been raised from 14 to 18, and children 12 years or older can obtain a vaccination “treatment” for sexually transmitted diseases without parental consent. This is nanny-state insanity.

And while Brown preens over protecting the “privacy” of children, he vetoed away the right of privacy for adults who are arrested by police. He struck down legislation that would have required law enforcement to obtain a warrant before searching the cellphones of arrestees.

ILLEGAL ALIEN TRI-FECTA IN CALIFORNIA!

Gov. Brown just signed a bill to ban cities and counties from mandating E-Verify for their contractors and businesses.  Despite the Supreme Court ruling in August that state and local governments can mandate E-Verify to prevent taxpayer dollars from going to illegal aliens, this rogue, corrupt governor signed AB 1236 anyway.  He is officially working with organized crime to destroy the rule of law in California.

Time for a Congressional Investigation to determine just who Jerry Brown is working for.   Obviously with the 3 illegal alien bills he signed this weekend, he is beholden to foreign (Mexico) special interests.

Dozens of cities and counties in CA have been using E-Verify with no problems, except that illegal aliens are no longer being hired.  Gov. Brown decided to side with the criminals again.

A Constitution Free Zone – Tea Party Nation

If you ever wonder why the framers of the Constitution and our founding fathers thought the Bill of Rights was so important to the Constitution, you need to look no further than the liberal politicians in the State of California.

California’s left wing government thinks there is a constitutional right for homosexuals to marry but you cannot have a gun in California.  In California, the authorities try to restrict speech based on the fact that they do not like it.

I have read the Constitution.  No matter where you fall on the issue of gay marriage, something can be said with absolute certainty.   The Constitution protects free speech.  The Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms.  The Constitution is absolutely silent on the issue of gay marriage, not to mention marriage at all.

Another nail has been driven into the coffin containing Constitutional rights in California.  California has just enacted a law that bans the open carrying of unloaded handguns and registration of long guns.

California has banned the open carry of loaded handguns, except in a few exceptions and California has made it very difficult to obtain a concealed carry permit.  In fact, one of the requirements to get a concealed carry permit in California is that you must be a brain dead celebrity who rants about the horrifying fact that some people actually own guns.

Our founding fathers knew a couple of things.  First, an armed populace is a great deterrent against tyranny, invasion and bad behavior.  

Leftists scream about how dangerous guns are.  They scream that if we allow mere citizens to carry guns, there will be bloodbaths.  If we let mere citizens carry weapons, there will be shootouts in the streets.

However, as with all liberal hysteria, those tirades are long on silly emotional screaming and very short on facts.  A majority of states allow either open carry or as I like to call it, “Constitutional carry” or concealed carry.

Not only are the bodies not piling up in these states, these are also the states that have the lowest crime rates.  Criminals may be lazy but are not totally stupid.  They look for the easiest target and certainly do not want to mix it up with someone who is carrying a gun and probably knows how to use it.

While the left screams about the myth of how dangerous guns are, they are amazingly silent on something else.   Almost every week, we hear stories about people who legally own and carry firearms.  Not only are they not committing crimes, they are stopping crimes.

Interestingly enough in Chicago and DC, after handgun bans were struck down, crime dropped!

Compare that to what happened in Britain, Ireland and Australia.  When they banned guns, their crime rates went through the roof. 

As California works to further ban guns, look for crime to continue to rise in the land of fruits and nuts.  Hopefully, the Supreme Court will eventually reverse that decision and impose some sanity on California.

In the meanwhile, Jerry Brown and company are proving the truth of the statement that our country was designed by geniuses and run by morons.

California is guilty of breeching the Constitution.

California Bans Open Carry of Handguns  -  Mexican Mafia celebrates!!

He also signed two other anti-gun bills including regulating long gun sales (AB 800).  He also signed SB 819.

He vetoed one gun bill only because the issue is already tied up in the courts.

   I guess Gloria Allred is proud. She was perhaps a singular figure in Brow’s win. We can’t call it a victory, as that implies it was desirable. His actions to remove citizens rights is incomprehensible, yet he showed his concern for all by upping the age for mirrored tanning. That tanning was such a social problem! Gloria, you can’t be so stupid as to believe this is what California needs as governor. Then again, attorney’s seldom care about things that affect others, unless it enriches them personally.

     I am amazed at how everyone blames Jerry Brown for the state of affairs in California…. It is not “jerry’s fault) it is the FAULT of the Left Media and the air heads of California (whose brains have been baked by the sun) that are at fault…. They hate to raise taxes but love freebies… they hate the unemployment but support illegals in their state ( that also begs for Federal Bail out… that is OUR tax money going to support those that are too lazy and stupid to take care of their own problems) The State of California is a cancer to the rest of the nation….. Maybe a frontal labotomy would really clear their heads….

Sarah Palin’s Intelligence and the Stupidity of the Media

I’m starting to lose faith in the media’s propagandist idea that “if you repeat a lie often enough, people will begin to believe it.” Sadly, there is no definitive version of this quote and we do not know who said it, though it is mostly attributed to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. With the stock market losing value daily, unemployment above 9 percent again, home prices still falling, four new wars started by Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama, the media are preoccupied with the emails of a former governor from Alaska and what she said about Paul Revere.

What I mean by “losing faith” is that I’m beginning to believe those in the mainstream media are absolutely stupid. We think of the dumbing down of America, and yet we somehow believe those who think of themselves as elites are immune to this dumbing down. The Liberal elites have been preaching nonsense for almost a century. By now, I believe, they are as stupid as they think the average American is.

Over the past week or so, the MSM has been all over Sarah Palin for claiming that Paul Revere’s ride had been to warn the British that they weren’t going to take away the weapons of armed Americans. They called her stupid. Over the following days the stupidity of the media became evident. Not only was Palin right, but the media (and most schools) view Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem about Paul Revere’s ride as history, and that’s basically it. That’s not to say Longfellow’s poem is wrong, but when there is a primary source to view from the man who actually rode the ride, that trumps the secondary account. There is a letter that Paul Revere wrote in 1798 that details the entire ride, and in it he mentions warning the British that they wouldn’t be able to disarm the Americans.

I want to point out that Sarah Palin’s remark didn’t say Paul Revere set out to to warn the British, just that he had. Here’s the whole comment:

H]e who warned the British that they weren’t gonna be taking away our arms, by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells, that we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free.

Pajamas Media has a great summary of the reaction to Palin’s remark:

The tri-part reaction to Palin’s remark — (1) she’s stupid; (2) she was only unknowingly right; (3) she was right, but she can’t speak good English — was an elite response. It was the reaction of a class that prizes, above all else, educational credentials and the ability to speak well.

Is the media lying and trying to continue to make Sarah Palin out to be some stupid bimbo or they just misinformed? I think the truth is somewhere between lies and ignorance. They do outright lie about her, but they also have no view of history or the world outside of their elitist bubble. They take what one elite Liberal says to be fact and they go with it. “He can’t be wrong because he believes what I believe so it’s true. He did his research so I don’t have to.” It’s like a scientist who has a hypothesis and in order to prove it, he comes up with the facts to fit the hypothesis without actually testing the scenario. Had the media done its job, their information staff would have dug up the Paul Revere letter.

We all know the media’s Liberal bias, but the stupidity of the media is continually exposing itself more and more by their continued hatred of Sarah Palin. They are desperate to make her look stupid and unlearned, and yet at every turn she outsmarts them. It’s almost as if she is purposefully setting them up to get egg smeared on their face.

Personally, I don’t know what to think of her politics, but her road trip/campaign/vacation/appearance tour or whatever you want to call it is making a mockery out of the MSM and I love it. On this, she has my full support.

Oh and those recently released emails that the media were trying to whip up excitement and negative turmoil over…  Turns out that they are focused, shows her as hard working and show she is pretty dang smart… A lot of people are taking a second look at Sarah realizing they were had by the liberal media.

What Recession? Michelle Obama Wears $635 Shoes on $4,000 Per Night Vacation

"Let them eat cake" says Michelle about the American people who are starving and living on the streets. Where is the outrage????

Where is the outrage indeed… America, the land by the people, for the people, or the people on our way to being socialism and obscurity and under the thumb of elitist Marxists.

Barack Obama enjoys living like a king, so why shouldn't Michelle Obama live like a queen?

The First Lady was photographed last night in Hawaii wearing $635 per pair designer shoes by Maison Martin Margiela.

The shoe style is called "Leather open toe flat pumps." It features a "thin nude leather strap across the top of the toe."

A woman lucky enough to have a job in this economy and working for the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour would have to work 88 hours (without taxes taken out) to make enough to pay for Michelle Obama's shoes. If she can get them on sale, they would only set her back $445 for 62 hours work.

Isn’t this always the way? Dictators and Marxist rulers all over the world talk about spreading the wealth… taking from the rich, giving to the poor… and eventually making everyone poor except for themselves, their families and their friends.

Nobody really cares about the ugly shoes… It is the principle!!

The Obamas are staying at an $8.9 million estate for an estimated $4000 per night. To cover the Obama's ten night stay, the minimum wage worker would have to work two-and-a-half years (before taxes) to come up with the $40,000 Obama is reportedly laying out.

Obama has lectured Americans about how they can not expect to live their lives as indulgently as they have in the past. He has lectured businesses about their travel and pay. Yet Obama and his wife live like kings and queens.

The news media has yet to call him out on his extravagance when there is 10% unemployment with no sign of the employment picture improving this coming year.

The Obama’s show their distain for the American people and the will of the people over and over again and continually show that they think they are superior and entitled. Is this really the American Way?

SPENDING SPREE UNPRECEDENTED BY FIRST LADY

While reading an article about the lapse in security at the first White House dinner, I came across a list. I was actually stunned to read this. I knew the White House was a big spender with the new First Family, but the decadence with which the Michele 'for the first time in my adult life I'm proud of my country' Obama is spending OUR money makes me ill!

WASHINGTON: STIFLING FREEDOM OF PROTEST

When we met with the Park Service on November 4th, they mentioned that the Government was going to start cutting back on LARGE PROTEST gatherings in Washington starting in 2011. Reason? The Secretary of the Interior "wants grass on the Mall year-round."

At the time, I thought how unbelievable this statement was... we are GUARANTEED this FREEDOM OF SPEECH in the Constitution! It is our RIGHT!

Now today on Glenn Beck, he mentioned exactly the same thing. One by one, our freedoms are being abolished. Pretty soon one lone Conservative will appear on TV's worldwide with a giant tank staring the lone figure down...sound familiar?

The big question is: How much more do they do to us before this gets really ugly? I'm thinking it's coming like a freight train.

Finally, if you have not seen Erica's post on using the Democratic party's own site against them please do! They lay out media outlets near you and allow you to send a note--the note is supposed to be in favor of the healthcare bill; however, we can use their system for exactly the OPPOSITE! See her post & PLEASE send the media outlets your note TODAY!

While we are speaking of commoners… Uppity Elitist Martha Stuart was seen in an interview belittling Sarah Palin spewing the usual liberal pabulum: “Sarah is scary, dumb, confused blah blah blah. Well if that is what she thinks of us the common idiots who buy her stuff… perhaps we should stop. I propose a boycott of all things Martha Stuart.

I also propose of boycott of Mattel Toys until they stop producing the new Barbie wearing a Burkka!!

Boycott Martha Stewart!!

In a matter of a week Martha has insulted Rachael Ray and Sarah Palin.

And now if you go to leave her a message or blog for her, her website says there are technical problem... Hmmm, like there are ice machines in Hell~ Rachel Ray appears to be a down to Earth gal who appreciates her fans, her success and likes people. Martha Stuart has always been an uppity elitist who thought and acted like she was doing us little inept people a favor by sharing her superior decorating ideas. Then when she got out of prison her attitude came down a peg...but now she is back and we all supported her, she is back to being better than you and I... than Rachel... than Sarah Time to stand together and stop supporting her and her businesses!! I want be giving her any more of my money for her crafts, magazines, endorsed products or even use her recipes. She is buddy buddy with all billionaires who are pulling Obama's strings and are busy Palinizing Sarah.

Martha Stewart has Cutting Remarks About Sarah Palin

We guess it’s safe to say that if convicted felon Martha Stewart still had her right to vote, she wouldn’t have used it on the McCain/Palin ticket. Rachael Ray isn’t the only one getting the shaft from The High Priestess of Homemaking these days.

Martha, who just last week slammed Ray as a fraud, used some biting language to describe the former Governor of Alaska Stewart in a red carpet chat with CNN’s Headline News this weekend: “She’s very boring to me, very boring. And a very, to me, kind of a dangerous person. I mean, she’s dangerous. She speaks, she’s, she’s so confused. And anyone like that in government is a real problem,” Stewart spat.

No offense Martha, but filling jelly into the center of cookies or tying fancy bows is not rocket science and certainly doesn't make you a political expert... and it is not running a state or running for Vice President!!

Let us remember that the White House is enough afraid of her to raised funds just to smear her?!? She must be doing something right!
