You are going to pull your hair out when you read this. A student is actually thrown out of her classroom by her teacher for wearing a Romney/Ryan tee shirt on casual day. Her name is Samantha Pawlucy. It happened in Philadelphia. The teacher told her she could not wear a Republican shirt in a Democrat school. What Next?

HOWARD STERN AND THE OBAMA VOTER
Howard Stern sent producers Sal & Richard to Harlem to interview voters about why they are voting for Obama. They did this in 2008 and again now in 2012. Surprise, surprise, some said they were voting for McCain and Obama (good case for requiring voter ID), some said Ryan was Obama's running mate, some said it would be great when Bin Laden is dead.
Here is a quote taken from Stern's web site posted by someone who claims he's an African American. He says what millions of Americans think. He can get away with saying it without being labeled "racist" because he is black. If a white person said this they'd be arrested for "hate speech."
Hooray for whomever this black American is. He tells the truth.
Here's what the intelligent Harlem electorate had to say. This should move every single American with a brain to get to the polls on November 6. Those with no brain are sure to show up.

"The epitomy of ignorance. I am
African American and I can tell you for a fact the only reason blacks vote for
BO is because he is black. No other reason, other than to get free stuff. The
people answering the questions posed by Stern should NOT even be allowed to
vote. They are destitute of wisdom and understanding. Hell, they didn’t even
comprehend the questions! It just goes to show you how easily they are led. And
these village idiots are voting in our races?????
I know a person who says
“Everybody will have free healthcare. Who could be against that?” Tried to tell
him that it is NOT FREE!!!!!!!! Somebody has to pay for it. Doctors, nurses,
testing, etc. All of this has to be paid for. Guess who gets the bill? YOU the
taxpayer.
What really gets under my skin
is the number of blacks who think it is a travesty to have to show ID to vote.
They have this outrageously stupid ass excuse about how cost prohibitive it is
and how it would disenfranchise many people from voting. BULLSNOT! That’s weak.
They had 4 freaking years to get an ID. NO EXCUSE.
WE ALL should have to show ID
when voting. I ALWAYS had my ID with me and was shocked the last time when I
wasn’t asked for it. I could have been any freaking body who voted earlier that
day in another district as somebody else! I could have been somebody totally ineligible
to vote, such as an illegal alien or a felon. Hate to say it, but if you can’t
afford the $25 or whatever nominal fee for ID, then maybe you shouldn’t be
voting anyway, particularly if you don’t comprehend the issues.
If the issues this country faces
are not important enough for you to get the required ID to vote, then you don’t
care and shouldn’t be voting."
Hooray for whomever this black American is. He tells the truth.

PAUL RYAN FOR PRESIDENT. MISTAKE OR PROPHECY?
For a quick second yesterday I thought the conservatives had
performed a miracle and had seen the light when Romney introduced Paul Ryan by
saying, “Join me in welcoming the next president of the United States, Paul
Ryan!” I got all warm, fuzzy and tingly believing
that the GOP finally realized what fiscal responsibility means. My heart skipped a beat thinking about tax
reform, a possible flat tax, sound money policy, small business opportunities,
decreasing regulation, fiscal responsibility, constitutionally smaller
government, and bye-bye Obamacare. And
then Romney returned to the stage to correct his slight blooper. Mr.
Ryan is Romney’s choice for a vice presidential running mate. And while I would have preferred Ryan heading
the ticket, I will gladly accept him in second place.
Listen up here, Friends. You can tell a lot about a man's character by the people he hires. A First Class Man will hire only other First Class Men. And a Third Class Creep will hire Joe Biden.
And the First Class Man Romney has made an outstanding choice in hiring a First Class Running Mate. This selection tells the Conservative base in America that Romney is willing to talk about the enormous issues that are facing Americans in this election. Unemployment over 8 percent for over 3 years, $16 trillion in debt and rising daily, regulations that are destroying jobs and companies, no Democrat budget passed in 4 years, massive fraud, waste, abuse and political patronage. The only issue I have with Ryan is he voted for the Patriot Act, which I believe was enacted in response to 9/11 but has become the biggest threat to our freedom in the history of the country. It keeps on expanding and growing and restricting our rights. But since there is no “perfect” candidate, I will embrace Paul Ryan and hope he understands that The Patriot Act is a fundamental threat to the freedoms he espouses.
The more immediate threat to America is fiscal bankruptcy,
economic stagnation and a European-style entitlement country, which is where
Obama is leading us. And there is no
team better prepared to bring us back from financial insolvency than Paul Ryan
and Mitt Romney. Ryan is a policy wonk
who understands numbers, budgets and where we are headed if we don’t change
direction. He is an optimistic, pro-growth
VP candidate who has a clear vision and sound solutions to save our country. That fact that he can effectively communicate
with Americans is a bonus.
Now all we have to do is SHOW UP and support Paul Ryan and
Mitt Romney in November. We need to show
up and defend our values. We need to
show up to make a loud and clear statement that we want our country back. We need to show up because the next president
will likely appoint 2-3 Supreme Court Justices.
We need to show up because we don’t want four more years of over 8% unemployment,
$4 a gallon gas, trillion dollar growing deficits and widespread corruption
Obama/Chicago style. It’s up to us.

CONGRESSMAN PAUL RYAN OUT IN 2012?
I just received the following email note from Congressman Paul Ryan's Prosperity PAC. Thought you'd all like to know that as of this precise moment in time, Congressman Ryan is NOT a presidential candidate for 2012.
Friend --
Let me get right to the point. I’m not seeking our party’s nomination for President in 2012. It’s clear, however, we need new leadership in the White House. I’m committed to ensuring the success of whomever the Republican nominee is.
I firmly believe that continuing to sound the alarm about our looming financial crisis and offering solutions to address the crisis before it hits is my fundamental mission in public life. I know I can continue to pursue this goal effectively as the Representative for Wisconsin’s First Congressional District and Chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Let’s be honest, there’s enough work to be done and I need your help as much as any presidential candidate. I am definitely honored and humbled by the support and encouragement from many hoping that I would run for President, but now isn’t the time.
I’m going to continue focusing on the political goals of Prosperity Action. With your help, we’re going to educate the public about the facts behind the Path to Prosperity, fight the misleading attacks and half-truths of the left, and support the men and women running for Congress who will stand with us.
Again, thank you for your support.
Sincerely, Congressman Paul Ryan

PAUL RYAN FOR PRESIDENT? REALLY?
Last week the pundits from both political parties were full speed ahead on the rumor that Republican Paul Ryan of WI was seriously thinking about running for President. And while I believe Ryan probably has a better working knowledge of budgeting, deficits and the mess America is in than anyone else in Washington, I'm not sure he's a candidate I could support for president. I am looking for a True Conservative, small government, cut spending and do-it-now candidate. Ryan may not qualify.
Ryan proposed a budget plan to return the government to fiscal sanity - Maybe. Ryan is a passionate advocate for Conservative principles - Sometimes. Ryan's "Path To Prosperity" budget plan that came out in April was seen as a plan to return the federal government to fiscal sanity - Or was it?
When the plan came out it was trashed by Conservatives because it provided for spending to increase $4 trillion over the next five years. It reduces deficits but does not eliminate them until 2040, 29 years from now. This analysis is from the CBO. Ryan's budget projects the public debt increasing every year from 2011 to 2021. It shows the debt increasing to $16.2 trillion in 2012 and rising every year after that, going to $23.1 trillion by 2021. The plan does not address interest on the national debt. No credible proposal can ignore such a huge obligation. Forget eliminating deficits by 2040. It is financial and economic suicide to wait that long to solve our fiscal mess. And the main thing the elite media focused on was, "Oh, my gosh, Ryan wants to take away Medicare," which is a total lie and distortion of his proposal.
The other problem Ryan has is that he supported TARP, supported the debt-ceiling deal, supported Bush's spending binge, supported the auto bailout, supported big AIG bonuses. He has shown by his votes that he may have a problem understanding what Americans really want - an end to the spending, deficits and debt that led to the need to raise the debt ceiling.
The real crisis hanging over the American economy and our way of life, is not whether the debt ceiling was raised, but rather that we are borrowing 40 cents of every dollar we spend. Everyone knows this can't continue, yet no one in Washington has proposed a surefire way to end this slow national suicide. The deals being concocted in smoke-filled rooms and in the dead of night behind closed doors on Capital Hill are intended to get politicians past the 2012 election, and none of the deals solves the real crises. The so-called Super Panel as mandated in the "Debt Deal" is just another joke panel that will come up with nothing. Why isn't the House of Reps doing this work? That's THEIR job, not some hastily thrown together Super Panel. And our economy continues to BURN.
And while Ryan gets some points for proposing a plan to reform federal spending, which is way more than Obama and his henchmen have done (Dems haven't passed a budget in over 800 days), the Ryan plan doesn't cut it. It doesn't go far enough and it doesn't do it fast enough.
But I suppose it's better than nothing, "nothing" is what the Dems have proposed, and yet there it sits in the Senate. It was passed by the House and has languished in the Senate because the Democrat controlled Senate hasn't passed any of the 3 budgets the Republican controlled House passed. Ah, the nuances of politics.
The Republican establishment elites are making a colossal mistake if they think grass-roots conservatives don't understand the difference between a deal to raise the debt ceiling and a solution to the spending and deficit crisis. They are not one and the same. I'm not sure Paul Ryan gets it.

HOW DO YOU SPELL "CRASH AND BURN?"
GOVERNMENTGONEWILD.ORG, a web site devoted to exposing the dangers of a Government Gone Wild. Watch this video and forward this to everyone you know. Obama is NOT telling us the truth about how dangerous our "debt" is. Watch our DEBT, not our yearly DEFICIT. There is a difference. Obama is remarkably out of his depth as he and the Democrats refuse to confront our massive DEBT. They are driving us over the cliff, full speed ahead and it appears they don't realize the danger or they just don't care.
Some suggestions? Cut funding of all bailouts, subsidies, whole departments that are proven to be worthless, foreign aid which we cannot afford, social engineering programs that are not in our Constitution, cut the 200,000 employees that Obama has added to the federal payroll in just two years, cut all government program by 20% across every agency, and then cut all government spending by 10-15% every year until the debt is paid off. Enact immediately a Balanced Budget Bill that forces every administration to present a budget that matches spending to income. This would prevent Washington from creating new debt.
Do You Think There Is Anyone In Washington With The Boldness, Fortitude or Intelligence To Tell Us The Truth? Paul Ryan is getting there, but even his plan is not enough. And Yes, there are going to have to be changes to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Like it or not, if we do not change those programs the debt problem will not be fixed and those programs will simply die a flaming death when we can no longer pay the bill. Wouldn't you rather have SOME Medicare/Social Security/Medicaid than NONE at all?
You must get involved in this fight to save America. Standards and Poors has changed our debt rating, and that is very, very serious business. Do not sit on the sidelines while America suffocates from our massive debt.

BUDGET SHELL GAME IN WASHINGTON
A History Lesson on U. S. budget process: Federal law requires the President to submit a budget sufficiently in advance of the fiscal year, which starts October 1 of each year. The President's budget spells out how much money he wants to spend and where he wants to spend it. The House then approves, modifies or disapproves. It then goes to the Senator and then back to the House and then to the President for his signature. This is the process for approval of the budget and is supposed to be done MONTHS IN ADVANCE of the fiscal year so federal agencies, vendors who deal with the government, the financial community and others have time to prepare for spending and the government knows how much it is going to spend. The Obama administration FAILED to present a budget for fiscal 10-1-2010, and therein lies the "close down the government" scenario we've witnessed this past week. The pressure was on. So let's make it clear. The budget that just got "approved" by all in Washington with the so-called $38 billion in cuts is for fiscal year 10/1/2010 - 9/30/2011, called the 2011 budget. The whole process will start over again this summer as the President presents his budget for fiscal 10/1/2011 to 9/30/2012, his 2012 budget. Paul Ryan from WI has already proposed a budget for 2012 that cuts $6 trillion in spending. I hope this explanation makes the budget process in Washington clearer to all of you. But wait, here's the most important thing you need to know. Obama's 2011 budget (just voted on this week) was billions higher than his actual spending for 2010. Thus, when the Republicans, Obama and the Democrats celebrated their agreement of $38 billion in cuts, they were not CUTS at all. The $38 billion is simply a decrease in the increase Obama wanted to spend from 2010 to 2011. It's only a cut in what they planned to spend, not actual, real deficit reduction dollar cuts. Spending for the remainder of 2011 will INCREASE DRAMATICALLY, not decrease. It will just increase by $38 billion less than Obama wanted it to increase. SO YOU ASK, OBAMA WANTS TO INCREASE OUR DEBT? Oh, yeah! Here are the facts. In the next six months Obama wants to increase our debt by another trillion dollars, and in the 2012 fiscal year he wants to borrow another $1.7 trillion. Out debt has increased $4 trillion since Obama became president. Can someone tell me how this can be considered a CUT in the budget? How can this be a "successful negotiation" to reduce our deficit?? Obama says the "economy will collapse" if we don't borrow more. His lack of knowledge on the economy is truly stunning. This is simply CRAZY! Most economists say that the economy will collapse if we keep on borrowing. Obama chooses to ignore the red flashing warning lights and is leading us right into the path of an oncoming freight train. I say it is immoral, illegal and unconstitutional for our government to borrow money when it has no ability or intention of repaying the loans. The White House and the enablers in Washington, both Republicans and Democrats who got on board the "we've cut $38 billion" celebration, are lying to us. This is nothing more than a Budget Shell Game. So why are these people running our government? Very Good Question. It looks like we have to have another change in the election of 2012. 2010 was a good start, as most of the Tea Party people who were elected are standing firm against this atrocity. But there are many left who are doing business as usual, like John Boehner who caved to The Imperial President.

PAUL RYAN - MEDICARE ALIVE AND WELL
Ah, Congressman Paul Ryan, finally, someone is finally telling Americans the truth about our budget woes. Ryan's proposed 2012 budget cuts over 6 trillion dollars. And of course, Pelosi and all kinds of Democrats and Lefties are yowling like sick cats about "this is the end of life as we know it," "this is the end of (insert whatever program you want) as we know it," "this is the end of Medicare as we know it," and on and on and on. But this is no surprise. These are the same big spenders who have in the last two years passed out tax payer money with no end in sight. And they don't like it much when someone, anyone, and even Paul Ryan, attempts to put a stop to it. "The end of Medicare as we know it?" Don't be fooled. Go to this link for the truth.

PAUL RYAN WANTS TO SLICE AND DICE!
Did you hear the news? Paul Ryan, House Budget committee chairman (R-WI) is going to formally file major spending caps in conjunction with approval of the proposed continuing resolution to fund the government for the remainder or the current fiscal year. There are 7 months left in the current fiscal year. Only in Washington would you wait 5 months into your fiscal year before you address a ballooning shortage of money to cover your expenses. Now the Obama battalion is again howling about the sky will fall if the continuing resolution isn't approved. Everything is a gotta-do-it-or-else situation with them.
But Ryan will propose a top line spending limit of $1.055 trillion dollars for the remaining 7 months of the fiscal year. This amount is $74 billion lower than Obama's proposed spending limit for the same 7 months.
Ryan is proposing $58 billion dollars less spending on non-security discretionary spending and $16 billion less spending on security matters than Obama wants.
If the budget was cut at this rate for a full 12 months the dollar amount saved would have been around $100 billion. We'll see what kind of a "food fight" Ryan's proposal creates. Obama isn't going to quietly shut up and sit in the back of the bus on this issue. But the Republicans better live up to their campaign promise to reduce spending to 2008 levels. And I see 2008 levels as the starting point. Slice and Dice sounds very good to me.
