Young Americas Foundation – The Conservative Movement Starts Here. – StumbleUpon

Candidly, I’ve always kind of liked the term “millennial.” It was harrowing to come of age at the turn of the millennium. Remember the overhyped Y2K virus? We didn’t know whether the world as we knew it would still exist after “00″ replaced “99″ in the date fields of computer memories. Somehow, though, we survived — and lived to claim the name “millennial,” an apt tribute to our hardiness.

Forget that label, though: President Barack Obama has rebranded us. To him, we’re “Gen44.” Expanded, that means we’re the generation that elected him as the nation’s 44th president. Can you say, “hubris,” anyone? It’s almost like pleading to restart the calendar with 2008 as 1 Anno Obama.

At any rate, here’s his message to us, which I’m happy to pass along only because I know I’ll have the immediate chance to respond to it:

Obama’s giveaway: Oil-rich islands to Russia

Posted on by

Editors Note:  Yes!  You read it correctly.  Obama in a secret deal with Putin is giving away oil-rich land in Alaska!

By Joe Miller

The Obama administration, despite the nation’s economic woes, effectively killed the job-producing Keystone Pipeline last month. The Arab Spring is turning the oil production of Libya and other Arab nations over to the Muslim Brotherhood. Iraq is distancing itself from the U.S. And everyone recognizes that Iran, whose crude supplies are critical to the European economy, will do anything it can to frustrate America’s strategic interests. In the face of all of this, Obama insists on cutting back U.S. oil potential with outrageous restrictions.

Part of Obama’s apparent war against U.S. energy independence includes a foreign-aid program that directly threatens my state’s sovereign territory. Obama’s State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the Kremlin.

The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabeds surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.

Wikileaks reveals Democrat 2008 election crimes

Posted on by

The latest activity by Wikileaks dumped some 5 million emails and documents hacked from the database of Stratfor Intelligence. The emails reveal Democrats’ effort to steal the 2008 election.

Shocking revelations from a Wikileaks document dump show the Democrat Party committed a felony when it stuffed ballot boxes in Ohio and Philadelphia during the 2008 presidential election.Ads by GoogleDavid Dewhurst for SenateWhat are they thinking in Congress?

A memo further revealed that the so-called “Reverend” Jesse Jackson was paid a handsome figure to keep his mouth shut about candidate Obama, a man for whom he had little regard.The same internal memo revealed that Obama’s campaign was taking Russian money surreptitiously.

The memo:From: Fred Burton [mailto:burton@stratfor.com]Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 7:41 AMTo: secure@stratfor.comSubject: Insight – The Dems & Dirty Tricks Internal Use Only – Pls DoNot Forward Internal Use Only – Pls Do Not Forward

1 The black Dems were caught stuffing the ballot boxes in Philly and Ohio as reported the night of the election and Sen. McCain chose not to fight. The matter is not dead inside the party. It now becomes a matter of sequence now as to how and when to “out”

.2 It appears the Dems “made a donation” to Rev. Jesse no, they would never do that! to keep his yap shut after his diatribe about the Jews and Israel. A little bird told me it was a “nice six-figure donation”. This also becomes a matter of how and when to out.

3 The hunt is on for the sleezy Russian money into O-mans coffers. A smoking gun has already been found. Will get more on this when the time is right. My source was too giddy to continue. Can you say Clinton and ChiCom funny money? This also becomes a matter of how and when to out.

Sheriff Joe’s posse: ‘Probable cause’ Obama certificate a fraud

Posted on by

PHOENIX – An investigative “Cold Case Posse” launched six months ago by “America’s toughest sheriff” – Joe Arpaio of Arizona’s Maricopa County – has concluded there is probable cause that the document released by the White House last year as President Obama’s birth certificate is a computer-generated forgery.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio examined Barack Hussein Obama's birth certificate and says it probably is fraudulent; He also says he has a "person of interest" in the fraud case.

Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio says birth document is probably a fraud

Arpaio, at a news conference in Phoenix live-streamed by WND TV that began at 3 p.m. Eastern time, has elevated the investigation to a criminal probe that will make the resources of his Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office available to his volunteer posse.

The posse says it has identified at least one person of interest in the alleged forgery of Obama’s birth certificate.

We are Losing the Tax Debate Even Though We’re Right | RedState

Let me get something out of the way first: I get it. I understand. I know that 47% of the country pays no income tax and I am fully aware that that is unfair. I’m part of that 53% of taxpayers and I find it infuriating as well. We exist in a system that allows half of the country to vote against the other half’s best interests. Half of the country can vote in ways to ensure that the other half pays bills that they don’t have to pay. It’s completely and utterly imbalanced and so far from what a free and just society would do as to be laughable.

47% of the nation pays on income tax

47% percent pays no income tax yet they are winning the argument

That said, I propose a simple hypothesis that I think most people would agree with: We only change this disparity by getting more people to agree with us than disagree with us.

Accepting my hypothesis, let’s look for a moment at how we currently discuss taxes in America when the debate is between the left and the right. The left says we need to “pay our fair share” and we respond indignantly that “we already are! It’s you that aren’t!” The truth of our reply aside, our ability to get people to agree with us is not helped with this tactic. For one thing, we are accepting a premise from the outset: taxes are about “fairness.”

How 40% can become a majority

Posted on by

By The InkDemon©

Pollsters say that the country is almost evenly divided between liberals and conservatives.  That is about 40 percent liberal and 46 percent conservative. The Democrats have proven time and time again that their 40% can easily become a majority. Then there are the independents.

So how, you say, can 40 percent become a majority?

It’s easy.  Start by looking at what the Democrats and the President are doing right now.  While you are at it, compare that to what the Republicans are doing.

Obama Logo

Obama's Logo

President Barack Hussein Obama must shore up his base.  He brought the troops home from Iraq to shore up the peace at all cost contingent in his party.  He is promising that all the troops will be out of Afghanistan by the middle of 2013. He is threatening Israel to keep the lid on the powder keg in the Middle East.

He started to release the terrorists in detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba..  That was to shore up the civil libertarians.   He passed healthcare as he promised in 2008. He “saved the environment’ by banning oil drilling in Anwar and pipeline construction across the nation’s midsection.

He has shown himself to be the friend of the big union bosses to shore up his union base.

Once his base is shored up, he can work on the independents (the Indies) and the right.  That’s right … the right!

If the Republican nominee moves toward the center, he stands to lose his far-right support.  If the Republican courts the Indies, he may lose even more support from the right.  No Republican candidate has a majority.  Therefore they are resorting to Alinsky tactics to gain momentum.  In the end, this may further erode the conservative base.

Obama and the media in the meantime can play up the fact that the conservatives are fracturing.  They  will point out also that the right is stalling his stimulus bills in Congress.   He will omit the fact that most of the bills originating in the House of Representatives were killed in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

When the Indies hear rancor and  vigorous debate they complain, “Why can’t they all just get along?”   They are right, but that is short-sighted.  The Democrats will make sure that the rancor and clamoring will continue.  They won’t be blamed.  The media will give cover.

If the rancor on the conservative side gets further out of hand, someone may step in to open up a third party.  This will effectively splinter the conservatives.  Whether it will be Ron Paul-ites, GOOOH geeks, or someone sponsored by a far-left wing billionaire, it won’t matter.  The third-party ”hero” will get more than plenty of press coverage.  He won’t have to answer tough questions. The answers will sound “perfectly logical” to the Indies and the disaffected right.

Obama recently used the National Prayer Breakfast to make a case to the Christian Evangelicals.  The Republicans need them to win.  The left will remind these Evangelicals  that helping the poor is exactly What Jesus Would Do.  They will recite the Beatitudes, the Ten Commandants, and any other verse or passage to remind devout Evangelicals that it is indeed What Jesus Would Do.  That’s exactly what Obama did during the National Prayer Breakfast.  It will work, too.  It has in the past.

The Indies may stay in the Obama Camp in November.  Some of the Evangelicals will say that Jesus whispered in their ears to vote for Obama or they will stay at home.  Some people have an almost insane idea that if they don’t vote, they are not responsible for what happens in the political process.  They are wrong.

The disaffected and angry conservatives will bite their lower lips, fold their arms and stay at home, effectively voting for Obama.  The remainder of the right will show their “pride” and vote for the third-party candidate. They will believe that their vote did not elect Obama.

Have you ever heard a Ross Perot voter boast that he was not responsible for the debacle created by the Clinton Regime?

That is exactly how 40 percent become a majority on election day.

Republicans must ignore the rancor, decide on a candidate, and be ready to support the eventual nominee.  We need every voter.  Have you hugged a Ron Paul-ite today?  If not, do it!

Voting for anybody but Obama

By Patti Pfeiffer

Unfortunately, the Republican primary process has turned me into a flip-flopper. Just when I think my mind’s made up, a debate happens, views change, information surfaces, apprehension sets in, worry begins, the big picture gets bleak and my choice for nominee changes, yet again. I’m constantly analyzing the top candidates, endlessly arguing with myself about who’s the best, and more importantly most electable.

Thankfully the nominee field has narrowed and is now Perry-less. As a native Texan, watching the debates with our governor was grueling and painful. His infamous brain freeze moment didn’t bother me, other than causing me to blush for him. Actually, I could relate. Made me feel better about myself and my own malfunctioning mind. Thank you Mr. Governor for making me feel better — and for bowing out.

So now the nominees number four. And which shall I choose…

The Stimulus Chart Obama Doesn’t Want You to See | RedState

Friday, February 17th at 3:30PM EST

Three years ago today, President Obama signed his infamous stimulus package into law. In exchange for $1.2 trillion (including interest), liberals said their plan would bring the unemployment rate down to about 6% today. It hasn’t fallen below 8% at any point in the last 36 months.

There has been a recent drop, though, which some Democrats claim as proof that their stimulus plan finally worked. But if that’s true, then where are the jobs?

Where Are the Jobs?

As more and more people have learned recently, the official unemployment rate doesn’t actually count unemployed people who have given up looking for work. The above chart offers another look at the jobs data. It shows the “labor force participation rate,” which represents the share of working-age Americans who are either employed or unemployed but looking for work.

As you can see, only 63.7% of working-age Americans are currently in the workforce. The rate hasn’t been that low in almost 29 years! To put it another way, 36.3% of working-age Americans do not have a job and are not even looking.
