Sadly, we need to learn more about Farrakhan and his ties to NBPP, J. Wright, and OWS lots at The Blaze post, talk about hate speech.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/my-god-will-wipe-this-country-from-the-face-of-the-earth-the-real-louis-farrakhan-in-his-own-words-on-gbtv/
I heard some of that Farrrakhan jew hating speech on the radio this morning.
Absolutely VILE.
You should see it on video, the body language is troubling, watch the crowd and the crowds are large…troubling to see and hear such hatred. Someone please remind me this is 2012, I cannot understand this and I cannot understand why the majority of the Jewish vote will still go to the Dems. Schumer, Lieberman (he sites on Homeland Security Committee) Cantor, how can you stay silent? Can you live with yourselves if violence hits our streets, you will have blood on your hands if you remain silent.
Reporter grills Obama over jet-set lifestyle
Raises question about multiple trips while Americans struggle
Barack Obama, who is known for jetting off to exotic vacations at taxpayers’ expense, often even sending his family on ahead – also at taxpayer expense, got a little testy when a reporter questioned him about the practice.
“I think most folks understand how hard I work and how hard this administration is working on behalf of the American people,” he said.
LOL !

The Obamas have taken 16 vacations at taxpayer expense.
They include a President’s Day 2012 ski trip to Colorado, an extended stay in Hawaii at Christmas 2011, a Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., vacation during summer of 2011, a trip to Africa and Botswana in June 2011, another Colorado ski vacation on President’s Day 2011, Christmas 2011 for an extended trip to Hawaii.
Before that it was Florida, Chicago, Spain, Martha’s Vineyard again, Mount Desert Island, Maine, Chicago, New York City, Hawaii, Yellowstone National Park, Grand Canyon and Martha’s Vineyard again.
The report defended the Obama trips, citing 30 visits President Bush made to his Texas ranch.
“But his have become more controversial because of the costs associated with moving the first family to a public vacation spot, unlike the Bushes to their remote ranch in Crawford, Texas. For example, the Hawaii Reporter said the first family’s 2011 Christmas vacation in Hawaii would exceed $1.5 million.”
The report continued, “Critics and even some in his own party say the vacations present a bad image at a time when many Americans are struggling to get by during the recession.”
The Examiner cited a Harris poll revealing only three on 10 Americans say they plan to take a vacation lasting longer than a week over six months.
Shovel Ready in San Fran: $205,075 to ‘Translocate’ One Shrub from Path of Stimulus Project
The government spent at least $205,075 in 2010 to “translocate” a single bush in San Francisco that stood in the path of a $1.045-billion highway-renovation project that was partially funded by the economic stimulus legislation President Barack Obama signed in 2009.

Dershowitz: The charging instrument filed against George Zimmerman is “unethical” and will never make it past a judge
Four and a half minutes of brutal criticism for prosecutor Angela Corey, whom he accuses straight-out of grandstanding for political gain.

U. S. Attorney General Publicly Aligns with Sharpton
Holder’s statements make it clear: if your dead son happens to be white and a federal agent protecting America’s borders, he’s the wrong color and in the wrong profession for Holder’s DOJ to take “appropriate action.”
On the other hand a black 17-year old with multiple school suspensions for possession of drugs and burglary tools, killed by a “white hispanic” fits the criteria for Holder’s race war.

Just a reminder…..
“Paying at the Pump” Solutions to Relieve Pain at the Pump
by Sarah Palin on Wednesday, April 11, 2012
Real energy solutions shall be presented! Please join Eric Bolling and me as we host an energy special this Friday, April 13th at 10pm ET on FOX called “Paying at the Pump.” We’ll present real solutions to solve our country’s rising energy prices and relieve America’s pain at the pump. And, yes, there are real solutions! We’ll discuss them and invite President Obama – in fact we’ll challenge the President – to adopt them for the good of our country. The White House will have an opportunity to put partisanship and its stubborn lack of energy common sense aside to get a handle on these outrageous prices. Please tune in Friday night. The energy special will also re-air on Saturday and Sunday.
- Sarah Palin
Lots of great links, Patti! Thanks.
Real Moms of the GOP battle White House SOP
The authenticity of conservative women has always been under attack by radical orthodox feminists, but perhaps not as brazenly as by someone with such direct and frequent access to the corridors of the White House message machine as Hilary B. Rosen.
http://michellemalkin.com/2012/04/13/real-moms-of-the-gop-battle-white-house-sop/
Rosen and her media defenders dismissed “faux outrage” about her attack. But the real moms of the GOP have launched their own Occupy movement in the social media space once dominated by Obama’s army. And they’re winning.
Today, Friday the 13th is a great day! It’s my birthday!!!!!
Happy Friday 15th!
I’d like to share a site I have recently come across, the videos are short and informative covering many topics especially economics. These videos are a good way to educate yourself and others. Some of the topics are economics, history, law, philosophy. You can also find a link to classroom resources, your feedback is welcome and by all means share this with others. One of the best videos is on interest and the debt, great way to educate our youth. Remind any college students you know, Bernanke has promised to hold interest rates low through 2014…historic for sure and nothing but a ploy to hold prop up the economy through the elections. Rates will have to go up at some time and then watch the debt skyrocket.

In the banana republic which is also known as Wisconsin, we have two Democrat gov. candidates who refuse to answer how they would balance our budget should one of them get elected.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/barrett-falk-wont-say-how-they-would-have-balanced-wisconsins-budget_636918.html
The recall supporters are fine with this, of course — their goal is to get Gov. Walker defeated one way or another.
You can’t make this stuff up.
