Could 2012 be America's Last Presidential Election?
By Michael Savage
I've asked this question to a number of people and most them respond as if I were crazy for asking. They tell me that this is America, land of the free and that there will always be elections. I tell them that we are no longer the land of the free and that if Obama gets re-elected in 2012, that this just may be America's last election.
In the past three years, the Obama administration has been very carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his Marxist regime and this isn't just my opinion.
Popular radio talk show host Michael Savage is the son of Russian immigrants and is very familiar with Soviet and European history. Savage warned his listeners this week saying, "I have to tell you that if this man, God forbid, is the next president of the United States, we're going to be living in something along the lines of - people say Europe. I don't believe it's going to be like Europe - I think it will be closer to Chavez's South American dictatorship.
"This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dangerous tyrannical administration in American history. It's not politics as usual. It's not just Democrats versus Republicans. Obama has a long history of being at odds with American values and with America itself and the core principles of this country. They don't want government-sponsored opinions. They only want government-sponsored 'Pravda.' That's exactly what the government-media complex tells you on a daily basis - nothing but the government-media complex party line.
Pay attention. Your freedom may be at stake."
Over the weekend, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told a small group of people in an Iowa coffee house that:
"Barack Obama is not incompetent, ladies and gentleman. He knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it. He sees America differently than you see America.
[Obama] has gone out of his way to divide this country in a way I haven't seen since the Great Depression when Franklin Roosevelt went around to divide his country. That's his hero. What makes America great [in Obama's mind is that] the government takes money from somebody and gives it to somebody else.
No, that's what makes America, France."
With his control over the Executive and Judicial branches of the government, the stage is set for a complete takeover of the government. Think about it.
Since taking office, instead of helping the economy, Obama has purposely escalated the economic crisis by plunging the country into unprecedented debt. He has a number of programs that are designed to go into effect in January 2013, just in time for his second term of office. The economic burden and increased taxes on everyone will be enough to cause the final economic collapse of the country. As soon as that happens, Obama declares Martial Law and assumes dictatorial control of the nation.
The Department of Justice has already been subverting federal laws to strip us of a number of freedoms. The Supreme Court and many of the other federal courts have been seeded with socialistic liberal judges that will rule in Obama's favor on virtually anything, thus ending constitutional rule and law.
He's already changing the face of America's military. Allowing homosexuals to openly serve along with changing the retirement program is causing many conservative military leaders to resign commissions and leave the military. Some Pentagon officials are also noting that an increase in the enlistment of radical Muslims into the US military where they get all the training they need on weapons and defense systems. We have no idea how many of them there are in the armed forces or in what positions they may hold.
Obama has been wielding executive powers this past year as if he were already a dictator. When Congress is not doing his bidding, he simply bypasses them and used an executive order to accomplish it anyway. This has set the stage for his disbandment of Congress. He would not be the first world leader to take control of a nation and disband the legislative branch of government.
He has been effectively using the media to anesthetize the public to the dangers he poses. Like a patient being prepped for surgery, people are numb to the changes and won't have a clue what took place until they wake up in recovery and realize that free America has been removed and replaced with a regime that may parallel those of Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Chavez or Castro.
For the sake of our children and grandchildren ... I earnestly pray that we are spared from what seems a certain future and that Obama is overwhelmingly defeated in 2012. Otherwise, heaven help us.

Roger Stone, Former Nixon Hit Man, Now a Libertarian
Written by Bob Adelmann
Wednesday, 14 March 2012 15:18
In a note to his readers on February 15th Roger Stone (left) announced his resignation from the Republican Party, changing his voter registration to the Libertarian Party. A self-proclaimed "GOP hit-man," Stone became involved in politics in his teens, working for President Nixon's reelection campaign in 1972 (known as the Committee to Re-elect the President, or CREEP), serving as the National Director of Youth for Reagan in 1976 and then as the Young Republican National Chairman from 1977 to 1979. He worked for the Reagan presidential campaign in 1980 and in 1984 and then for Jack Kemp's campaign for president in 1988.
In so doing Stone left behind a legacy of political dirty tricks and outrageous shenanigans that in some cases altered American political history. He was born with the ability to observe a situation and then see how to take advantage of it. In the first grade his first political trick was to support John F. Kennedy in his campaign against Nixon in 1960. He brags: "I remember going through the cafeteria line and telling every kid that Nixon was in favor of school on Saturdays. It was my first political trick." When he ran for election as president of his high school senior class he said he "built alliances and put all my serious challengers on my ticket. Then I recruited the most unpopular guy in the school to run against me. You think that's mean? No, it's smart!"
He saw an opportunity for another trick during Nixon's campaign in 1972. He adopted the name Jason Rainer and made contributions in the name of the Young Socialist Alliance to Pete McCloskey's campaign (McCloskey was Nixon's challenger in the primary). He then sent the receipt to the Manchester Union Leader to "prove" that McCloskey was in fact a left-wing stooge.
Later on Stone hired a GOP staffer, gave him the pseudonym Sedan Chair II, who wound up serving as George McGovern's chauffeur creating in information pipeline directly to the Nixon campaign.
Perhaps the most outrageous, and historically important, of Stone's tricks, known as the "Brooks Brothers riot," took place in Miami-Dade County, Florida on November 21st, 2000, during the recount of ballots in the Presidential election. The Florida Supreme Court had just ruled in favor of Al Gore to allow a recount but it had to be completed by November 26th. Stone saw his opportunity to delay the recount until after the 26th by bringing in GOP staffers to protest the recount. In an interview with The New Yorker magazine, Stone told what happened:
The whole idea behind what [we] were doing was that there had already been one recount of the votes so we [the Bush campaign] didn't want another. The idea was to shut it down, stop the recount here in Miami…
We set up a Winnebago trailer. I set up my command center. I had walkie-talkies and cell phones and I was in touch with our people in the building. Our whole idea was to shut the recount down. That was why we were there…
There was a Brooks Brothers contingent [people dressed to look like business executives in Brooks Brothers clothing] but the crowd in front of the courthouse was largely Spanish…
The resulting confrontation led to riots which prompted the recount officials to stop the recount, depriving Gore of his best opportunity to overtake Bush in the narrow Florida, and national, vote.
Stone's initial support of George W. Bush began to fade, expressing his dissatisfaction to Benjamin Sarlin after the elections in November, 2008:
I think across the board he's led the party to its current position, which means losing both houses of congress and now the White House. How can you be conservative and justify wiretapping people without a warrant? We're supposed to be the party of personal freedom and civil liberties. Big brother listening in on your phone calls -- I got a problem with that.
In his letter outlining his reasons for leaving the Republican Party, Stone noted: "Sadly the difference between the two major parties has become rhetorical. Under the Democrats you're going to hell. Under the Republicans you are still going to hell but you are going more slowly." He added:
To real conservatives the freedom of the individual is paramount. No one should be able to tell you what you can eat, drink, smoke, or marry, or what kind of gun you can own. We don't want to be snooped on by an all-knowing big brother government. That is the essence of liberty. The Republican Party has become both a party of big government but also an authoritarian party that would tell us how to live…
The Libertarian Party stands for both economic and personal freedom. Libertarians oppose spending, debt, taxes, big government, and costly foreign wars where our national interests are not clear. We support a woman's right to choose an abortion, gay marriage equality, and the legalization of marijuana.
The Ron Paul revolution shows me a Libertarian moment is coming. It will gather momentum in 2012 and most likely manifest itself in 2016. Ron Paul's incredibly strong support among young voters is the tip-off. American voters have never been offered a presidential candidate who took conservative positions on fiscal issues like spending, debt, and taxes, while taking freedom-based (i.e. liberal) positions on choice, gay marriage, and drug-law reform. This is clearly where a majority of Americans are.
Stone apparently makes no distinction between the constitutionalist libertarian, Dr. Ron Paul, who would leave social and moral issues to the states, and those more liberal libertarians adamantly opposed to any regulation of personal behavior, even at the local level.

Ron Paul's Delegate Strategy May Be Working
by Kenn Jacobine
There is an interesting analysis article over at Real Clear Politics that lays out a scenario whereby the August Republican National Convention evolves into the worst nightmare imaginable for party officials – a brokered convention. Based on how Republican candidates for president have done so far with different demographics and regions of the country, Sean Trende predicts how the race for the Republican nomination may play out and lays out a scenario where a brokered Republican convention could take place.
Now, it's no secret that a brokered convention would be a catastrophe for Republican Party leaders used to grand coronations at their quadrennial national party events. After all, anything could happen. Chaos could rule or a dark horse candidate not officially sanctioned by the party oligarchs could emerge. In either case their lack of control would disrupt the usual smooth proceedings meant to portray to the nation a party united, happy, and excited about its standard bearer.
Given his campaign's strategy of focusing on caucuses and out hustling his rivals at local, county, and state conventions nationwide the main beneficiary of a brokered convention would be Texas Congressman Ron Paul. The fact of the matter is that most Americans do not get involved in politics. Many rightly view it as an ugly, corrupt business. Others are too busy following American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, or the latest escapades of Lindsay Lohan. While others would rather leave it to the professionals. But, Ron Paul supporters are different. They may not outnumber the supporters of other candidates, but they are hungrier and more dedicated to their principles. They are much more willing to show up, outlast, and fight for delegate positions than the supporters of rival candidates. These attributes seem to be paying dividends for the Paul campaign at least in the early stages of the delegate selection process.
In Iowa, Ron Paul supporters have become delegates for other candidates. Under party rules, if the convention is brokered at some point those delegates could be eligible to throw their support behind Dr. Paul.
In Georgia, Paul forces took over or as local GOP officials called it "hijacked" the DeKalb County delegate-selection convention in eastern metropolitan Atlanta. They also missed by a whisker doing the same thing in populous Cobb County.
And in Clark County, Nevada, home to Las Vegas, at the county GOP convention made up of over 2600 delegates, Paul supporters organized and triumphed by electing Paulites to all 14 seats on the ballot for county GOP executive committee board. These 14 new members of the board will make up two-thirds of the ruling body. Consequently, that county's GOP platform now calls for holding elected officials to their oath to the Constitution, repeal of the 16th Amendment, and a full audit of the Federal Reserve.
The process of selecting delegates in most states is in the early stages. There will be multiple stories like the ones mentioned above. Ultimately, there may be a brokered Republican convention in August. Then again, there may not be. Ron Paul may not get the GOP nomination for president in 2012, but whoever does will be leading a party much different from the one that exists today. It will include delegates to the national convention, activists, and party officials who support a non-interventionist foreign policy, sound money, and civil liberties. You talk about a nightmare for the party oligarchs!

A turnaround Etch-A-Sketch guy. With Flip Flops. -T
By Joe Klein |Time| March 22, 2012
I've been thinking about this all night: Eric Fehrnstrom's Etch A
Sketch gaffe yesterday may go well beyond a momentary embarrassment
and become a campaign-defining disaster, much as John Kerry's "I voted
for it before I voted against it" gaffe -- which came at almost
exactly the same point in that campaign, as Kerry locked down the
nomination -- was in 2004. This is true for several reasons:1. Most
obviously, this was a classic Kinsleyan gaffe -- an inadvertent
blurting of the truth -- that goes to the very heart of the character
problems that have bedeviled Mitt Romney throughout this campaign. It
provides a handy prop for Romney's opponents and an obvious template
for future TV ads. 2. It makes it much harder, perhaps impossible, for
Romney to begin to tack back to the center to appeal to centrist
voters, an absolute necessity for the fall campaign after the
free-range extremism of the Republican primary. Every time Romney
makes a move or even a head fake, it becomes an Etch A Sketch
moment.3. There is a gestalt to every campaign, a deep organic spirit.
Kerry's campaign was infected by the candidate's indecision about what
to do regarding the war in Iraq. Bill Clinton's campaign was propelled
by his native resilience. George W. Bush succeeded because of his
gormless certitude. The Obama campaign's steadiness emanated from the
candidate's no-drama persona. In Romney's case, this spirit expresses
itself in embarrassing gaffes, often at the moment of victory -- and
it reflects the sterile management-consultancy ethos at the heart of
the candidate. In last week's issue of the New Yorker, Louis Menand
had a terrific essay about how this ethos really is Romney's defining
characteristic. A management consultant or private equity turnaround
specialist can wipe the slate -- or Etch A Sketch -- clean and start
anew with each new project. A political candidate can't. There has to
be some passion for a presidential candidacy to work. Romney has none,
just a deep abiding faith in his ability as a turnaround guy. A
turnaround guy. Etch-A-Sketch.

Hope 'n' Change: More ObamaCare Mandates
The White House used last week's regularly scheduled Friday afternoon document dump to double down on its plan to offer free contraception for all women regardless of conscience issues. The "Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" lists a number of ways that ObamaCare will provide all women free access to contraceptives, sterilization procedures and drugs that induce early abortion. It also specifically states that all student health plans must cover these so-called preventive services free of charge. This is the administration's latest response to outrage over ObamaCare's trampling of religious freedom with its contraception mandate. It doesn't address concerns of conscience for religious organizations or private employers; instead it retrenches the administration's position that those organizations supposedly won't have to pay for "preventive" coverage, because the cost will be pushed onto insurance companies. Unfortunately, those insurance companies will simply raise their premiums, forcing everyone to pay for "free" contraception anyway.
Barack Obama celebrated the announcement by taking his family to church. The Obamas are not regular churchgoers, but their attendance at St. John's Episcopal Church, the "Church of the Presidents," was noteworthy -- St. John's has publicly supported the ObamaCare mandate and has denounced Roman Catholic bishops and others who oppose it.

Obamacare at two
Democrats observed the second anniversary of Obamacare in silence yesterday. Obamacare must really be a problem for them, because they're yakking nonstop about everything else with a lower than usual ratio of veracity to baloney. Charles Krauthammer provides a reckoning in his weekly column, reminding us of a a few basic and important facts about Obamacare. Krauthammer concludes: "Rarely has one law so exemplified the worst of the Leviathan state — grotesque cost, questionable constitutionality and arbitrary bureaucratic coerciveness." With the regulations implementing the law being written and promulgated every day, it's getting worse all the time. The 2012 elections provide a possible cure. We are going to have to rescue ourselves from this nightmare.
Rush Limbaugh performed a public service this week by turning attention back to one of the great moments in Obama's promotion of his signature achievement. Just about everything Obama ever said to promote the law was a falsehood of the Big Lie variety, but during the ABC Townhall on June 23, 2009 (transcript at the link), he blurted out something like the essence of Obamacare. Citizen Jane humbly asked her president:
JANE STURM: My mother is now over 105. But at 100, the doctors said to her, "I can't do anything more unless you have a pacemaker." I said, "Go for it." She said, "Go for it." But the specialist said, "No, she's too old."
But when the other specialist saw her and saw her joy of life, he said, "I'm going for it." That was over five years ago. … Outside the medical criteria for prolonging life for somebody who is elderly, is there any consideration that can be given for a certain spirit, a certain joy of living, a quality of life, or is it just a medical cutoff at a certain age?
In case you missed it back in 2009, here is how the president ruled:
OBAMA: I don't think that we can make judgments based on people's "spirit." Uh, that'd be, uh, a pretty subjective decision to be making. I think we have to have rules that say that we are gonna provide good quality care for all people. End-of-life care is one of the most difficult sets of decisions that we're gonna have to make. But understand that those decisions are already being made in one way or the other. If they're not being made under Medicare and Medicaid, they're being made by private insurers. At least we can let doctors, you know — and your mom know — that, you know what, maybe this isn't gonna help. Maybe you're better off not having the surgery but, uh, taking the painkiller.
Well, that's a little blunt. Rush nevertheless provided a useful translation: "Hey, Mom, I just talked to the president. He said no on the pacemaker. But I'm to tell you that you're probably better off not getting the pacemaker. Here, just take the Percocet." He also concisely commented: "I don't know, folks. This is not the country in which I grew up. It just isn't."

effort to bring civic lessons to students and help 18-year-olds
register to vote.
Rock the Vote, which is supported by numerous politicians and
celebrities, has created a period-long lesson plan "that includes a
mock election, classroom discussion, and a new video featuring Grammy
award winning artist John Legend, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Roc
Nation recording artist Bridget Kelly and Glee's Darren Criss about
the importance of civic engagement in 2012," a news release says. "The
class is a nationally accredited curriculum that teachers can sign up
for online for free."
So high school teachers, if you are looking for a way to keep your
students focused on class, rather than the budding trees and the
summer-like temperatures outside — check it out.
