When I was a kid, growing up in Nebraska in the 1960’s, every day in school, we stood, put our right hand over our heart and said the Pledge of Allegiance.
Someone was always picked to lead the Pledge and that was an honor.
Sadly, in many schools today, that is no longer the case.
Today, there are those who try to make some sort of statement by NOT saying it at all. Rather than stand they sit. Rather than speak, they remain silent.
But for those who do recite the Pledge of Allegiance, I want to bring something to your attention. I think it’s important and maybe, after reading this, so too will you.
There is a very good chance you’re saying it incorrectly.
It’s not your fault. You get the words correct but, many say it the wrong way. It’s how you were taught as a child to memorize the Pledge and, well, it’s just not correct.
Every day, for months and months, we have watched, horrified, as Assad in Syria murders his own people. Women, children, men…Innocents slaughtered in the streets, in their homes, day and night.
Many have been outright executed.
Now, over the past 2 days, we have heard that the Russians are sending helicopter gunships to Assad in Syria.
Helicopter gunships is a gross understatement. These are killing machines designed not to pinpoint targets but to literally wipe out everything and anything in front of them. These helicopters are built to fight tank battalions in the field. In an urban area, they can and will rain death and destruction from the sky.
Assad, of course, claims he won’t be using them for that purpose – but then again, he claims it’s not HIS government killing his people.
Through it all, through the death, the murders, the destruction…We wonder why? Why is Obama doing…nothing?
Let me try to explain what Obama doesn’t want you to know.
That’s what the media wants you to believe. That he gaffed when he said that the private sector was doing fine.
Mainstream media of course went into damage control using liberal talking points. Obama himself “clarified” his remarks as soon as he could.
Now, a few days later, some conservatives are questioning whether it was a gaff at all. Now they are speculating that he simply slipped up and spoke aloud what he really believes regardless of the political fallout.
Gaff?
Clarification??
Not a gaff???
A show of hands please…Who would like to know what last Friday’s Obama statement REALLY was???
After being given more than a year to comply with congressional subpoenas and nearly a month after a Memorial Day weekend deadline went unheeded, It now looks as though congress, like most conservatives, have finally had enough of Eric Holder and his antics.
Last Saturday, in the article, “Mr. Speaker…File Contempt Charges…NOW!!” we at The National Patriot sent an open letter to Speaker Boehner’s office and asked that our Patriot readers follow suite and email the link to the article to him as well.
To believe it was our letter and the flooding of Boehner’s email which turned the tide would be a false pat on the back, but, it certainly didn’t hurt.
One can easily suspect similar pressure came from within the house chamber.
The list of Members of Congress who have called for Holder’s resignation or firing has grown over the last 6 months to now number more than 130. It’s very possible that number swelled after last Friday’s hearing in which, Holder again, stone walled and dodged questions.
Never, in memory, have we witnessed such a direct and compelling display of contempt of congress.
This is perhaps the most obvious case of the fox guarding the hen house ever.
In this case, it’s worse than that.
Here, we have a weasel, guarding the hen house and reporting his findings to a fox.
Eric Holder, perhaps the most corrupt Attorney General in our nation’s history, has appointed 2 investigators to look into leaks coming from the White House. Those two investigators report only to Holder; and he, in turn, reports to perhaps the most corrupt president in our nation’s history.
Seal Team 6.
The doctor who helped identify bin Laden.
The CIA double agent who helped nab the 2nd underwear bomber.
The cyber virus that hit the Iranian nuclear program.
Obama’s drone kill list.
Somebody high up…VERY high up…Can’t keep their mouth shut.
Last week, Obama in a press conference, stated that to insinuate that the leaks were coming from his administration was both wrong and offensive.
Listening to Holder feign amnesia in one congressional hearing after another is nauseating. He’s done it 8 times now and I have had quite enough.
The committees have subpoenaed some 80,000 documents, emails and memos from Eric Holder and he has turned over only 7,600 of them.
Holder himself yesterday admitted to having 140,000 such documents but upon questioning from Congressman Issa as to how many subpoenaed documents he has YET to turn over, Holder would only say that he has turned over 7,600.
Speaker Boehner, in not answering questions, in stonewalling, in lying, in claiming he does not recall dates, conversation or reading documents, in claiming he has no idea who knew what, when they knew it or who if anybody they told, Eric Holder is clearly showing contempt for the congressional committees.
We all watched and listened to the sound bites from yesterday’s hearing. We all heard time and time again…”I don’t know,” “I don’t recall,” I was not aware,” and on and on and on.
We heard the contentious back and forth with Congressman Issa and we listened while Holder refused to answer question. We heard it and I suspect, you did as well.
All of that was rehashed non answers of questions asked and not answered by Holder in 7 previous hearings but there was something new. Something startling. Something which did not get much notice yesterday, but I want to bring it to your attention today.
This was the give and take between Eric Holder and Congressman Jason Chaffetz.
In this, you will hear, point blank and no question about it, Eric Holder PERJURE himself before the congressional committee.
PERJURY, Mr. Speaker.
Watch and listen.
From an email dated Oct 17th, 2010, from Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein to James Trusty:
“Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed? It’s a tricky case, given the number of guns that have walked, but it is a significant set of prosecutions.”
Then on Oct. 18th, 2010, from Trusty back to Weinstein:
“I think so, but the timing will be tricky, too. Looks like we’ll be able to unseal the Tucson case sooner than the Fast and Furious (although this may be just the difference between Nov. and Dec).”
“It’s not clear how much we’re involved in the main F and F [Fast and Furious] case,” reads the email, “but we have Tucson [Wide Receiver] and now a new unrelated case with [redacted] targets. It’s not any big surprise that a bunch of US guns are being used in MX [Mexico], so I’m not sure how much grief we get for ‘guns walking.’ It may be more like ‘Finally, they’re going after people who sent guns down there.’”
Mr. Speaker, with the words being read aloud to him by Congressman Chaffetz, Eric Holder stood his ground and told Congressman Chaffetz that those emails DID NOT REFER TO FAST AND FURIOUS.
Mr. Speaker…clearly…Eric Holder is lying and THAT, sir, is perjury.
For Eric Holder to insist, over and over again, that these emails do not refer to Fast and Furious when he is told over and over again by Congressman Chaffetz that they clearly do because they indeed mention Fast and Furious by name is both showing contempt for the Congressional Committee and committing perjury.
No more delays, Mr. Speaker. No more waiting. No more chances, Mr. Speaker.
I call on you to bring charges of contempt and perjury against Eric Holder NOW.
You, sir, have allowed Eric Holder more than a year to comply, and it is obvious to the world that he has no intention of doing so; and to allow this travesty to continue is, in and of itself, a travesty and any who would allow the continuation of it are themselves guilty of aiding and abetting the contempt, the perjury and the travesty.
Not for one more day Mr. Speaker, should the Attorney General, the head of the Department of Justice, be allowed to obstruct justice!
I have DONE it! Once again I have survived a week’s worth of liberal/socialist insanity and I certainly hope you have also.
It was close though and had it not been for Governor Walker…I might have gone screaming into the night. Walker’s big win in the “too close to call” recall sent a clear message that liberal/socialists are in big trouble come November but…
We still have 5 months to go and the other side is shifting their abhorrent behavior into high gear.
No worries…If we have survived the last 3 1/2 years, I’ll bet that, together, we can make it through until November.
It’s Friday my friends and you KNOW what THAT means…
I’m fuming.
Oh boy. How do I…handle…this one delicately.
We’re starting this week in Granola City USA…San Francisco where what ain’t fruits and nuts are flakes.
Last night, liberal/socialists were crying in their beer. Governor Scott Walker won Wisconsin…Again…in stunning fashion. Walker becomes the first Governor to face a recall and win which makes his victory historic.
This morning, liberal/socialists will stop crying and start denying.
It will start with the fact that conservatives outspent liberals in the Wisconsin reelection. Of the 63 million dollars spent in total, only 14 million was spent by liberals. To this, liberals will say that most of the money favoring Walker came from outside Wisconsin while his opponent Barrett, garnered most of HIS money from WITHIN the state and THEREFORE…Conservatives BOUGHT the election.
Nice spin.
While it’s true that Walker’s coffers were filled in a large part from outside the State of Wisconsin, the bulk of his donations came in $50 increments. Yes, big donors DID put in, but this was a grassroots-level funding machine; and what liberals KNOW and won’t ADMIT is that Walker’s support from OUTSIDE Wisconsin signals a conservative Tea Party element HIGHLY engaged…NATIONWIDE.
That does NOT bode well for liberals in November, and they are in denial.
WALKER WINS WISCONSIN IN WHAT EARLY REPORTS SHOW AS A LANDSLIDE!!!!!
Even amid allegations of voter fraud by liberals, Governor Scott Walker has WON reelection in Wisconsin
Some of the allegations included 4 bus loads of unionists from MICHIGAN heading into Wisconsin to cast votes for Walker’s challenger, Barrett.
Also up for reelection in Wisconsin today were Senators, Scott Fitzgerald, Van Wanggaard, Terry Moulton and Pam Galloway along with Lt. Governor, Rebecca Kleefisch.
As we said earlier this week, the Wisconsin vote would be a foreshadowing of the national vote in November and it is easy to predict such fraud allegations some 5 months from now.
Liberals, socialists and unions are, for the 2nd time in 2 years, on the losing end of a Wisconsin election and this will have ramifications in the presidential, congressional and local elections this November.
This is also a warning over the Obama bow.
As the November elections approach, expect a flurry of illegal voter registrations, union thuggery, increased activities by the New BlacKKK Panthers and more. NOTHING will be deemed off limits by those fearing the loss of their grip on power and the nullification of their socialist agenda.
