Even Before Fast and Furious, They Had Guns on Their Minds

This is an intriguing essay/article about Operation Fast And Furious. It will make you think hmmm in a suspicious way about Attorney General Holder, Secretary of State Clinton, President Obama, and Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano. Basically, it will get you to think what kind of people we have in the Obama administration if you hadn’t thought it by now.

Even Before Fast and Furious, They Had Guns on Their Minds

What Obama administration officials, including the president, knew or didn't know about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives' 2009 Operation Fast and Furious has little to do with what they should have known.

Attorney General Holder, Secretary Clinton, President Obama, and Secretary Napolitano each declared that he or she did not know about Fast and Furious until 2011. But what should they have known about a federal program that eventually led to mass murder?

In a 1999 web article on leadership, writer and attorney Jonathan Wallace examined the question of when to hold those in power accountable. He begins with a two-part question: "did he know or should he have known?"

This article came from the American Thinker.

My Favorite Little Statement Of The Day

This statement came from an article in Canada Free Press titled “Iran Mocks Obama” by William R. Mann

“Only a true Liberal-Progressive would take this constant, physical abuse from a punk, revolutionary, “small nation” like Iran. Every respectable Republican and Conservative I know is ready to open and use a few cans of “American Whup-arse” with respect to Iran!”-William R. Mann

William R. Mann is a retired Lt. Colonel, US Army. He is a now a political observer, analyst, activist and writer for Conservative causes. He was educated at West Point [Bachelor of Science, 1971 ]and the Naval Postgraduate School [Masters, National Security Affairs, 1982]. He currently resides with his wife in Pensacola, Florida.

This is article I read on Canada Free Press by Alan Caruba. It is a very good article about Journalism.

Defining Journalism Downward

New technologies drive out old ones, either eliminating, altering, or reducing their use. The traditional world of print journalism has felt this rather dramatically as subscriptions have fallen off, though often replaced by either free or paid access to their content.

It is their content, however, that has felt the brunt of change because bad or even false journalism is now subject to instant analysis and exposure. It is journalism’s failures or distortions that now are an increasing part of the news stream.

A recent tweet by a Washington Post reporter asking for some dirt on Newt Gingrich as well as earlier breeches of ethical behavior have taken this newspaper from the glory days of Watergate reporting to the most tawdry political intervention. The Post’s job is to observe and report, not to participate or, in this case, initiate.

A reporter deliberately and openly seeking to destroy the reputation of a candidate should be fired. There’s a reason why editorials are restricted to the editorial page.

Rather than having to wait for the morning edition to arrive, people have access to 24/7 cable news channels and Internet sites that can update their content at will. There are the aggregators of news like The Drudge Report that shine a spotlight on news reports that might not ordinarily receive attention.

This article was found on New Zealand Conservatives website. It is very interesting if you are parent contemplating homeschooling your children. It would help you to make the decision.

Today's excitement over charter schools - let's compare with home-schooling

Posted by Lucia Maria

National has made a deal with ACT whereby the door has been opened for "charter schools". I presume the reason given is that schools run by any one other than the State might be able to do better with the educational outcomes of the children that go to them. But it seems that the evidence for this is a bit thin on the ground.

So, it must really come down to the desire to give parents a choice in education - rather than having to send their child to the local public school, or the Catholic one if they have that choice - they'll be able to go to an alternative without having to pay private tuition fees. I don't think that is a bad idea as a general principle, however I find myself yet again bemused by this whole conversation.

This is another good article to read from the American Thinker. You will have to go to the link below to read the rest.

There has been much talk lately about the need for the Republican presidential nominee to move to the center. This is a mistake. The only way to beat Barack Obama is to oppose him rigorously, relentlessly, and without remorse.

This election needs a fiscal, foreign policy, and economic conservative. The man to defeat Obama must present the nation a clear choice between further socialism under Obama's control or prosperity through economic freedom, but that's not all; he will need to show the world who Barack Obama is.

Americans may be inattentive, or even self-involved, but we are not idiots. Anyone can see the almost three years of failed Obama governance and know that the meme which the legacy media is trying to sell is a lie. Obama is not just a failure; he is a spectacular failure -- and it's not George Bush's fault, or that of an obstructionist Congress

Comments Under The Article “Thieves Steal The President’s Teleprompter”

Usually, after I read an article I read the comments with it to see what others are thinking about what was said. I laughed at few of the comments and I wanted to share some of my favorites.

CIA: “Sorry to tell you Mr. President, your most prized possession has been stolen.”
Obama: “NOOOO .” by RIGHTWRITE

The headline here should be: TOTUS Stolen; Obama Left Speechless. by @leftfighter

some body stole the presidents freedom of speech! by Ruler4You

The Republicans are holding it Hostage.. by INOGAWD

I applaud the thief. He or they weren’t stealing, they were using creative ingenuity to shut the clown up. Without a teleprompter the fool is dead in the water. by The10thAmendment
Yes, I saw some footage of him ranting last night, and they were lots of “um”s and “uh”s. But the TOTUS is free at last, free at last . . . . you know the rest! :+) by bcshealy
Hey, it’s all karma, baby. These fine folks are not thieves! They are folk heroes doing what Obmubler says we have to do: redistribute the wealth. They’re like Robin Hood – taking from the rich! They just so happened to start with Obumbler’s stash of goodies, that’s all. by biohazard23
The US has moved to DEFCON 2. B-52′s and KC-135′s are on 5 minute alert. Silos are prepared. TOTUS has been taken. POTUS is unable to speak and can no longer carry out the duties of the office. 82nd Airborne Rapid Response is geared up and ready to go. Homeland Security has gone to Threat Level Red. TSA is prepared for enhanced screening. DOD & FBI have placed agents at used car dealers. by DISMAYED VETERAN
It’s about redistribution of wealth. Why should he have a teleprompter when other people can’t? by SkyeOne

I want thank the people that made these comments. They made my day.

How Indiana got the name of Hoosier State and people of Indiana Hoosiers is unknown. There are a lot of stories and legends how it came about. You can find a few of the stories and legends at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoosier

Indiana History

It was originally thought that Indiana was inhabited by migratory tribes of ’Native Americans’ as early as 8000 B.C. In 2003, archeologists found a tool carved from deer bone dating back 10,400 years ago. Which basically proved the first thought wrong.
By 900 A.D. a mound building Native Americans called Mississippians settled in Indiana. The Mississippians were dominant in Indiana until 1450 in which their entire civilization totally disappeared for some unknown reason. You can learn more about the Mississippians at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippian_culture
Indiana entered into recorded history when Europeans started to settle here. We were known as part of the ‘Kingdom Of France’ until ‘The French And Indian Wars‘. The British won that war and we became the ’Kingdom Of Great Britain’.
But due to our American rebellious nature called ‘The American Revolutionary War‘, the ’Kingdom Of Great Britain’ was short lived. We, here in Indiana, became a territory of the United States in which we placed under the governorship of William Henry Harrison. Indiana became the 19th state of the United States in 1816.
Following statehood, our new government (Indiana) set out to transform our state from a wilderness frontier into a populated and thriving state. Our state founders started programs for railroad, canals, roads, and public schools which almost bankrupt us. Due to the increase land value and produces saved our butts.
During the American Civil War, Indiana became a political influence in our nation. We were one of the first western states to mobilize our soldiers at the start of the Civil War.
In the 1900’s, we became a strong manufacturing state. Of course, the depression almost destroyed our manufacturing. We recovered during World War 2.
This is only a brief history of my home state of Indiana. If your interested in learning more like the birth place of Abraham Lincoln, Tecumseh’s War, War Of 1812, etc. Here are some webpages that will give you a start in the world of discovering more of my home state of Indiana‘s history: http://www.in.gov/visitindiana/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana#State_symbols http://www.answers.com/topic/indiana

Indiana Economy

Our highest income percentage is in manufacturing like pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, steel, automobiles, electrical equipment, transportation equipment, chemical products, rubber, petroleum and coal products, and factory machinery.
Our major crop is corn and soybeans. Believe me when I say, you can’t take a ride on the highway or a back road here in Indiana during the summertime without seeing rows of corn or soybeans.
We are becoming one of the leading state in the biofuels. Reynolds, located north of Lafayette is now known as BioTown, USA. The town is experimenting with using biofuels and organic fuels, such as those made with manure, to power the town.
Our mining is in limestone and coal.

Fun Facts In Indiana

Santa Claus, Indiana: During Christmas season Santa Claus, Indiana receives over a million letters and requests.
Stolen Profits: In June of 1972, Lowell Elliot of Peru, Indiana was said to have found $500,000 in cash on his farm. It looked like the money fell from the sky. It did. A skyjacker parachuting out of a plane had dropped his stolen profits over Elliot’s farm. Elliot returned the money to the authorities.
Corn: Half the cropland in Indiana is corn.
The Slippery Noodle Inn: Was establish in 1850. It is one of Indiana’s oldest bars. During Prohibition, the Al Brady and John Dillinger gangs were patrons of the inn. The gangs used the building in the rear (originally a horse stable for the Inn) for target practice. Today, several bullets remain embedded in the lower east wall.

Indiana has plenty of places to visit depending on the kind of person you are. Turkey Run State Park is a park one can go hiking, canoeing, fishing, camping and enjoy nature.
There is Indiana Beach, an amusement park on Lake Shafer in Monticello, Indiana. They have over 30 rides and attractions. I am not sure if one can do it now but when I was a kid, my brothers, sisters, and I use to throw our popcorn in the lake to watch the cod pop up to eat it. What can I say it was amusing to us besides the rides.
There is Wolf Park. A park which is a preserve for wolfs.
Mounds State Park is known for its prehistoric Indian mounds in Anderson, Indiana. You can go fishing, swimming, hiking, and picnicking.
