August 28th: Beck at Lincoln’s Knee… “Restoring Honor.”
Sarah Palin will be attending the 8/28 Restoring Honor Rally in Washington D.C. along with Glenn, Jo Dee Messina, Ted Nugent, Marcus Luttrell and many more at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Big thanks to Jim Brody from Dead Cats and Clippings for compiling this list of buses leaving for this event. There is still time for you to get on the bus (beats being thrown under the bus!) and spending quality time with your fellow Americans:
This news is giving heartburn to the O-Administration.
Missouri citizens used the power of the ballot box to definitively state their rejection of the Democrat’s mandated healthcare scheme. Although the passage of Prop C is largely symbolic, it comes 100 days from a crucial midterm election – it is indeed a shot across the bow.
Seriously, what is it about the Democrats Obamacare that Missouri clearly rejected?
I will be taking the week off in order to attend a conference in New Orleans, LA. My schedule has very little down time, therefore, I will not be able to update the blog or approve comments. Essentially, I’m going off the grid for a week, and I’m hopeful I’ll survive sans Blogging, Tweeting, FB’ing, and Amplifying.
Of course, there will be photos and video to process when I return. Perhaps a story or two..it is NOLA.
City Hall belt tightening didn’t prevent two Council members from recently handing out raises to staffers. Councilman Bill Green this month gave raises to five of his staffers, including a $30,000 bump to his Chief of Staff Sophie Bryan, bringing her salary to $100,000. In total, Green increased his staff salaries by $42,500 and is now paying $354,720 to his 7-person office, according to city data.

The Justice Department has decided to file suit against Arizona on the grounds that the state’s new immigration law illegally intrudes on federal prerogatives, law enforcement sources said Monday
Feeling incredulous? Now would be a good time to book your weekend getaway to Arizona.
The filing makes no assertion that the law is discriminatory or risks being applied in a discriminatory fashion, as the president and other officials said they feared would be the case. Interestingly, this suit makes no civil rights charges against the Arizona law.
So where is the issue? The Arizona law echoes Federal law.
Furthermore, this is weak tea compared to the Obama administration’s rhetoric on the subject. They have spent the last three months declaring this unconstitutional on the basis of discrimination. If that were true, the government would have made that its primary argument. The fact that they’re going with pre-emption means that they’re conceding that the discrimination argument never held water — and that their accusations of bigotry against Arizonans were nothing more than demagoguery.

House GOP leaders have planned a high-profile event at Washington D.C.’s Newseum Tuesday morning to launch the start of their “America Speaking Out” project.
Chief Deputy Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is in charge of the initiative to result in the release of a set of policy items that Republicans would pursue if they won back control of the House in November.
According to officials involved in the effort, “America Speaking Out” will focus on gathering feedback from Americans on what items that lawmakers should be focusing on in the future.
GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.) said on Monday “it’s part of a process of engaging Americans.”
Out of the box thinking – policy items derived from the people, not created in smoky back rooms and shoved down our throats. I will be following this project closely.

Where is HuffPo’s list of 10 most offensive May Day signs? Note the deafening silence from the media who simply make shite up regarding TeaParty Rallies. It is interesting to note the absence of the teaparty crashers at the May Day protests. Why wasn’t Kathleen Toomey not plotting to infiltrate the May Day protests? Certainly there was a strong element of racism amongst the protesters on May 1st. Staying true to her ideals, Kathleen should publicly hold these protesters accountable for their racism and ignorance. Methinks she’ll just stay mute on the subject.

Note the Obama inspired ‘hope she chokes’ sign right behind ‘Eugene A HATE FREE Zone’. Ahh, nothing beats a good dose of hypocrisy at a liberal protest.
So, where are the media drama queens proclaiming this sign to be proof of left wing hate bordering on violence. *Cue crickets*.
Although, those two signs together make for a classic study in liberal hypocrisy; I don’t consider the implied threat of violence, apparently endorsed by Obama, too seriously. I’m more concerned about the track record of violence attached to the Veterans For Peace supporters that are pictured in the crowd – they are holding a flag with a white dove on black background. When a violent attack against conservatives or Tea Party supporters occurs, and it will, those folks may be involved.
Shocking, I know. All the fear mongering by the MSM and grass root liberal groups against Americans peacefully expressing their concerns about the current administration will end up backfiring on them. Resulting with a person connected with a left wing liberal group or self identifying as a liberal physically attacking a Tea Party member.
I speak from experience in this matter. I’ve witnessed the same type of fear mongering from left wing hate groups on a local level. On March 22, 2008 a member of Veterans For Peace and Chester County Peace Movement violently attacked a female blogger during a protest in West Chester, Pa. His excuse for violence – he was angry. Much like the protesters in Eugene, Oregon, the members of Coffeeparty USA, or any local left wing hate group.
Disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s legal team has requested President Obama be subpoenaed in order for him to testify at the former Governor’s trial set to begin in June. You can view the subpoena HERE. Note: This document contains sections that have been redacted.
Rich Miller of Capital Fax has uncovered the redacted items of the Obama subpoena by simply copy and pasting the pdf file on to a notepad or word document. Rich notes the following embarrassing bombshells:
They also claim that Obama allegedly lied when he said he didn’t have any conversations with Rezko about a casino license…
In a recent in camera proceeding, the government tendered a three paragraph letter indicating that Rezko “has stated in interviews with the government that he engaged in election law violations by personally contributing a large sum of cash to the campaign of a public official who is not Rod Blagojevich. … Further, the public official denies being aware of cash contributions to his campaign by Rezko or others and denies having conversations with Rezko related to cash contributions.
Rezko has also stated in interviews with the government that he believed he transmitted a quid pro quo offer from a lobbyist to the public official, whereby the lobbyist would hold a fundraiser for the official in exchange for favorable official action, but that the public official rejected the offer. The public official denies any such conversation.
In addition, Rezko has stated to the government that he and the public official had certain conversations about gaming legislation and administration, which the public official denies having had.
President Obama is the only one who can testify as to the veracity of Mr. Rezko’s allegations above.
A redacted footnote offers further explanation…
The defense has a good faith belief that this public official is Barack Obama.
Of course the Obama water carriers will be out in force denying all of this. NBC 5 Chicago’s Ward Room notes a judge has called an emergency meeting regarding redaction errors.
John Ruberry of Marathon Pundit sums up this bombshell for Obama: He’s just another Chicago politician.

While President Obama and Vice President Biden continue to seek credit for "ending the combat mission" in Iraq, this video praises the contributions of our troops for helping bring greater stability and security there -- significant progress that was only made possible through a surge strategy most Democrats like the President and Vice President opposed. As the drawdown of troops in Iraq continues, House Republicans are grateful to all the men and women in uniform, as well as their families, for the courage and sacrifices they have made, and continue to make, to advance freedom abroad and strengthen our security here at home.
