Nation of Clones
America is (or has) become a nation of clones. No one seems to give a care about the outrageous BIAS by our main stream media (MSM). Let's face it, the MSM has their own agenda and they do NOT report the news without EXTREME BIAS or prejudice. They now disseminate messages calculated to assist the Progressive cause of Big Government.
Last Bastion of Hope
For years Americans have trusted the MSM's reporting of the news. The media gained a strong reputation for always presenting the absolute truth to Americans. We have taken them for granted. Why? Because in today's world, the main stream media have become liars and distorter's. They are the propagandists that peddle the news "their way." They no longer publish the truth, but they deliver their hidden agenda instead. They have become the messenger for the Progressive/Marxist movement here in America. We can no longer TRUST the main stream media.
Clear Example
The latest example of MSM bias and hidden agenda comes from MSNBC. They were caught with thier pants down reporting incorrectly that there were serious racial overtones in the Travon Martin killing. An executive producer edited the video tapes and sound recordings to make the target audience (YOU) believe that Mr. Zimmerman was racially prejudiced against Travon Martin.
It was ONLY until Newsbusters.org brought it to public attention that MSNBC was misleading (LYING to) viewers by omitting portions of the recordings they broadcasted to make viewers believe that Zimmerman was a racist murderer! Newsbusters were in-turn, followed by the Drudge Report who also kept hammering MSNBC to delve into these allegations.
Only Until Pressured
MSNBC did NOTHING until being pressured by the NEGATIVE publicity caused by Newsbusters and Drudge. MSNBC finally capitulated because they had no sound argument for someone tampering with the tapes to mislead American citizens the way they did. Their action itself is a cover-up!
The Producer who edited the tapes was fired last Thursday and remains unnamed, and unidentified. WHY? The firing wasn't announced until Friday afternoon when most Americans are thinking about the weekend. Americans deserve to know who this betrayer is to the American public. We demand the release of this person's name so we can recognize a PROGRESSIVE LIAR for what he really is! MSNBC won't even report the real news - especially when it's about one of their own!
Action To Take
Demand that MSNBC publish the name of the person who committed this offense. Demand that MSNBC give ALL viewers during Prime Time a public apology for this behavior. Let the officials at MSNBC try to learn humility and honesty for a change!

Guest Article - Obama's Failed Policies
Five Ways that Barack Obama has Decimated the American Economy
by John Hawkins Townhall.com
"If America's economy were a minority, Barack Obama would be guilty of a hate crime for the things he's done to it. If the economy were a kidnap victim, Barack Obama would be telling it to "put the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again." If this were the movie Saw, Obama would have the economy chained to a radiator and he’d demand that it cut off its own foot to escape. Had Obama literally done nothing except watch Gilligan's Island reruns since he was elected, not only would the economy be in considerably better shape today, but he could learn a lot of tips from the Skipper on how to properly handle Joe Biden.
Instead, because of Barack Obama, we've had the weakest economic recovery from a recession since the Great Depression. Just to give you an idea of how bad things have gotten because of Obama, we would have to create 15 million new jobs just to get the ratio of employed Americans up to the same place it was in 2007. We've also had 37 months of 8% or higher unemployment, which again, is the longest streak since FDR was in office. This is no accident. Barack Obama may not have created the recession, but he is personally responsible for the anemic recovery.
1) Gas: Solar, wind, and algae are bad jokes. All of them combined supply roughly 2% of the energy in America and that's probably being generous. Obama can talk about how important all of those energy sources will be in the future, but the reality is that's very iffy. They might be important or they might be about as relevant as whale oil in 50 years. Our economy runs on coal, natural gas, nuclear power and most importantly, oil. By refusing to drill ANWR, blocking the Keystone Pipeline, fighting offshore drilling, slow walking drilling on federal land, trashing fracking, and attacking oil companies on a regular basis, the Obama Administration has driven up the cost of oil. Not only does this take money out of the pocket of consumers, it increases the cost of just about everything in the economy via higher shipping costs. Despite the phony rhetoric you hear about reducing gas prices, Obama's own Secretary of Energy has said he wants to "boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe." That's more than $8 a gallon.
2) Obamacare: Obama's attempt to take over health care has been an unmitigated disaster. The CBO now projects the cost of Obamacare has doubled to 1.76 trillion, it says 20 million Americans could lose their health care, and premiums will increase between 10-13%. Obamacare also will implement a number of new taxes and makes it difficult for many businesses to project their health care costs over the next few years -- if they don't stop providing health care to their employees altogether because of the law. The bigger corporations that can afford to do detailed estimates, like AT&T, Verizon, Caterpillar, Deere, Valero Energy, AK Steel, 3M and McDonald’s, are projecting large cost increases and some of them are already threatening to drop their employee coverage as a result. If Barack Obama's actual goal had been to drive up costs for American businesses and make them less likely to hire people, he couldn't have intentionally come up with anything much better than Obamacare.
3) Regulations: American businesses were vastly over-regulated before Obama got into office, but he has kicked things into high gear. Hundreds of new regulations are being added each month. There are different ways to estimate the staggering compliance cost for all of these regulations, but the numbers go as high as 84 billion dollars. That's 84 billion dollars A YEAR that could be used to expand businesses, buy new equipment, and hire workers to increase production instead of doing paperwork for the federal government. If anything, given the state of the economy, Obama should be working to dramatically lower the number of new regulations instead of increasing it.
4) Uncertainty: Businesses don't know if the Bush tax cuts will expire or continue, whether Obama will raise taxes or not (Bet on "yes" if he's reelected), what new regulations are coming, what industries Obama may take over, which businesses he will be demonizing next, whether Obama will bend the law to help his union allies (See what was done at GM and Chrysler along with blocking a Boeing plant for examples of that) -- it's pure chaos. This is why American corporations are sitting on record high cash reserves instead of expanding, hiring, and looking for bargains created by the recession. Obama has made it impossible for them to even plan a few years ahead.
5) Spending: While Obama's incessant tinkering with the economy has created short term uncertainty, his rampant over-spending has created long term uncertainty. The government has been going into debt for years, but Obama has ramped this up to levels never before seen in human history. At a time when even Barack Obama admitted we needed to cut back on spending, he racked up bigger deficits in just 3 years and 2 months than George Bush did in two terms. Now America has lost its AAA rating, Obama is still adamantly opposed to making any spending cuts, and for the first time, it seems entirely possible that America will end up defaulting on its debt within a decade or two. That would lead to an economic Armageddon that America might never truly recover from. Because this possibility is now on the horizon, it's impacting the ability of businesses to make long term plans. How do you make a 15 year business plan when America may be a westernized version of Zimbabwe by then?"

Unprecidented SCOTUS Attack
Never Before
America has come a long way since it was founded. Our Founders feared tyranny and did as much as they could to protect future generations for ever letting it happen to them again. Since that time we have come full circle.
The Founders tried to ensure that our Congress would not undo the Constitution by giving the Supreme Court the Power to nullify any laws that they deemed unconstitutional.
But look what is happening in today's world. President Obama has no trouble in threatening our Supreme Court justices not to overturn his "Landmark Healthcare Legislation." This is a first in American history. The President of the United States trying to influence the Supreme Court by blatant and overt threats directed at them. This is scary and unforgivable! We should NOT be proud of this behavior. The President's minions are now chanting that SCOTUS is engaging in judicial activism when they haven't even officially ruled on the legality of ObamaCare.
America The Beautiful
America has changed. We are no longer beautiful. We are divided. Obama's agenda is to split us even farther apart. Divide and conquer. Before you know it, we will no longer be a Republic but a totalitarian state. We are half-way there now and time is running out.
History is repeating itself and about half of our population is oblivious to what is happening before their very eyes. Our freedoms are disappearing with the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Act and nobody cares. Our government is growing ever larger and taking more and more control over our daily lives. There is no outrage. Voices are silent.
We have seen this happen before in the 1930's. People did not speak out while they still could. When they figured it all out, they were taken over by a cruel dictator. Americans don't believe that it can happen here. Well, look around. The events are making it become a reality slowly but surely.
Turning Point
The November election is a major turning point for America. We will either continue in the current Socialistic/Marxist direction or we will begin to turn it around. Let's hope people will do the right thing and vote-out this regime.
America was once a great country. The current policies are plunging us downward into a change that no one who loves freedom wants!
Are you going to unite and get rid of Obama in November? The whole future of America is at stake.

Napalatano Is Out-Of-Line
Stealth Amnesty
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Director - Janet Napolatano has overstepped her authority! She has taken measures to ILLEGALLY "grant" AMNESTY for ILLEGAL ALIENS. It doesn't matter what she calls the measure or what she claims it does, the end result is that it rewards people who broke the law to get here in the United States.
Amnesty
Amnesty is the absolution for a crime. Amnesty in the USA is usually conferred to a guilty person by either by the President in the form of a pardon, or by Congress - by revoking laws or legislating new ones. No one else has the Constitutional authority to grant AMNESTY to ILLEGALS!
HMS Is Out-Of-Line
Anyone working at HMS does NOT have ANY authority to grant waivers, or whatever they want to call their euphemism for Amnesty. This includes the Director - Janet Napolatano! Just because president Obama wants to grant amnesty to ILLEGALS he cannot tell one of his CZARS to do so. That's not Constitutional!
Where's the Outrage?
Why hasn't anyone on Congress challenged this ABUSE of power? Where are the checks and balances with the Obama Administration? Does anyone care about the illegal power grabs? You should let your representatives know that your are appalled with these actions. Otherwise, your silence will encourage more theft of personal liberties by this government!

More Big Govt Abuse of Power!
DHS Oversteps Authority
In a blatant move to create STEALTH AMNESTY for all illegal aliens, our fearless Janet Napolatano (Department of Homeland Security Director) believes that she alone can grant AMNESTY to ILLEGAL ALIENS!
What we want to know is who died and put Napolatano into creating her own laws of the land?
What It Does
The new "measure" will grant "unlawful presence waivers" to illegal aliens who can prove that they have a legal US relative here in the states. Currently, illegals must return to their native country and file paperwork along with thousands of other people trying to gain access to the USA.
Napolatano's new "brainstorm measure" rewards ILLEGAL behavior and ignores the current LAWS OF THE LAND! Her arguments are that the current law causes US citizens to be separated from their immediate relatives for an extended period of time. She also argues that "relaxing the rules will create efficiencies for both the US government and most applicants."
SO WHAT? Is that any excuse to reward people who have violated the laws of the land? NO WAY!
Obey The Law
There is nothing on the law books that gives Janet Napolatano the right or privilege to "grant" and AMNESTY for ANYONE. NO ONE!
Let the White House know that we are getting tired of their overstepping the powers granted to the government. Tell them to STOP BREAKING THE LAWS OF THE LAND!

Guest Article - Will ObamaCare Survive?
Even If It Survives the Court, the Health Care Law Is Doomed
By Scott Rasmussen
"Media coverage now implies that the U.S. Supreme Court will determine the fate of President Obama's health care law. But nothing the court decides will keep the law alive for more than a brief period of time.
There are three ways the health care law could meet its end. The first, obviously, is the Supreme Court could declare some or all of it unconstitutional in June.
If it gets past that hurdle, the law also could be ended by Election 2012. If a Republican president is elected, the GOP will almost certainly also win control of the Senate and retain control of the House. While the details might take time, a Republican sweep in November would ultimately end the Obama experiment.
But even if the law survives the Supreme Court and the next election, the clock will be ticking. Recent estimates suggest that the law would cause 11 million people to lose their employer-provided insurance and be forced onto a government-backed insurance plan. That's a problem because 77 percent of those who now have insurance rate their current coverage as good or excellent. Only 3 percent rate their coverage as poor. For most of the 11 million forced to change their insurance coverage then, it will be received as bad news and create a pool of vocally unhappy voters.
Additionally, the cost estimates for funding the program are likely to keep going up. Eighty-one percent of voters expect it to cost more than projected, and recent Congressional Budget Office estimates indicate voters are probably right. But it's not the narrow specifics and cost estimates that guarantee the ultimate demise of the president's health care plan. It's the fact that the law runs contrary to basic American values and perceptions.
This, then, is the third hurdle the law faces: Individual Americans recognize that they have more power as consumers than they do as voters. Their choices in a free market give them more control over the economic world than choosing one politician or another.
Seventy-six percent think they should have the right to choose between expensive insurance plans with low deductibles and low-cost plans with higher deductibles. A similar majority believes everyone should be allowed to choose between expensive plans that cover just about every imaginable medical procedure and lower-cost plans that cover a smaller number of procedures. All such choices would be banned under the current health care law.
Americans want to be empowered as health care consumers. Eighty-two percent believe that if an employer pays for health insurance, the worker should be able to use that money and select an insurance product that meets his or her individual needs. If the plan they select costs less than the company plan, most believe the worker should get to keep the change.
It's not just the idea of making the choice that drives these numbers, it's the belief held by most Americans that competition will do more than government regulation to reduce the cost of health care. For something as fundamental as medical care, government policy must be consistent with deeply held American values. That's why an approach that increases consumer choice has solid support and a plan that relies on mandates and trusting the government cannot survive."
