President Ronald Reagan
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free…..”

Andrew McCarthy
Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important thing to consider regarding the upcoming presidential election….
“…..if Mitt wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy.
For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:
1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.
We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court….
- in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges across the nation in lesser courts, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.
If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney …or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky….”
So for anybody who is thinking of “not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated”, “or writing in a candidate who CAN’T WIN…”
Imagine this: Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder!

How much do you really know about the candidates?
We probably already know too much about Barack Hussein Obama.
But there’s more about the Romney story that must be told -
The Real Mitt Romney:
Mitt Romney
After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney.
As a venture-capitalist, Romney’s first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies. That company, called Staples, now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people.
Romney or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the “Bain Way”) would go on to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino’s, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.
Got your calculators handy? Let’s recap.
Volunteer campaign worker for his dad’s gubernatorial campaign 1 year.
Unpaid intern in Governor’s office 8 years.
Mormon missionary in Paris 2 years.
Unpaid bishop and state president for his church 10 years.
No salary as president of the Olympics 3 years.
No salary as MA governor 4 years.
That’s a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church. Why? Because that’s the kind of man Mitt Romney is!
And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income….Obama gave 1%
Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%
This is real character vs….well you know what!
Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won’t desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or squander my money on vacations. I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the “Spending President” has gotten us into. We didn’t know that when Obama said he’d give us change, he meant nickels and dimes, and he would get the big bucks. We won’t like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney’s background can do it.
Barack Hussein Obama
But, on the minus side, He never was a “Community Organizer”, never took drugs or smoked pot. Never got drunk. Did not associate with communists or terrorists. Nor did he attend a church for 20+ years whose pastor called for God to damn the United States of America.

A new SCOTUS ? The majority of the current and recent court has had Republican nominees – and we got THIS -
The Five Supreme Court who produced the Citizens United Ruling. This ruling has made it possible for super PACs to accept anonymous donations. This has opened the door for foreign nations to put money into US elections. It’s hard to imagine a more traitorous act than literally selling our electoral system to foreign nations.
As far as the “presumptive” nominees ? There is only one party in America, just like China, Russia, Cuba, and North Korea. You don’t have a choice when you vote. Tweedle Dum or Tweedle Dee. Two sides of the same Republicrat coin. It doesn’t matter who “wins” this Fall. The same puppet masters are behind the scenes pulling the strings. In reality, the leaderships of both fraudulent parties support essentially the same methodology, and that methodology could be summarized thus: Centralize everything, globalize everything, control everything, grow government power, reduce the effectiveness of the citizenry, turn the public against each other, rob them while they’re distracted. If an American does not understand this dynamic and how it is used to dominate the ebb and flow of our culture, then that American knows nothing. He is lost…

Copy and paste this link and take 10 minutes to prove to yourself the there is no real difference at all between Obama and Romney. There is no difference. This short video will prove that. Romney is actually more dangerous because he is smarter and more educated and more experienced and more articulate.
Sour grapes Blutarsky? Go to the convention with your Paul buddies, you represent about 10% of the party. Present your ideas do what you can do and then the vast majority of the party if smart will incorporate all ideas into a final winning campaign. I hope many of Pauls ideas concerning budgets and controlling government go in to affect, I hope we do back down off of an out of control Defense Department and Out of Control Patriot Act. But, we can’t and shouldn.t destroy our country in the process. So join us and win.
Jack – where did that out of control Patriot Act originate ? Or those bailouts to banksters and a convenient blind eye to a myriad of financial crimes? Or the expansion and explosion of WIDE OPEN BORDERS? or Phase 1 Obamacare, the Presciption Drug socialist bill ? Or the TSA & DHS ? or all the no-bid, open-ended contracts to Halliburtons and Blackwaters and Dyncorp etc ? The over-the-top rule by fiat with “Executive Orders” and PDDs etc ?
All from a Republican controlled White House, Senate, House, & SCOTUS from 2001-2007, and some majorities still.
I still am amazed that the average american voter is even angry with Obama – he has continued and expanded every major BUSH-era policy. And now Romney is on board with all the Obama policies, so where does that leave us ?
It leaves us with a country club socialist running against an incumbent blatant socialist.
I will not vote for either of the “presumptive nominees” because I am not a socialist nor do I endorse them, regardless of what meaningless R or D designation sits by their name.
“Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of
evidence to the contrary, because most people don’t want to admit they don’t
have the courage to do anything about it. Most propaganda is not designed
to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.”
