President Obama Weighs Executive Order Option Concerning the Internet

After defeat of Senate cybersecurity bill, Obama weighs executive-order option - The Hill's Hillicon Valley

President Barack Obama

Just recently Senate Republicans blocked cybersecurity legislation.  However, that issue might not be dead after all.  President Obama is weighing the option to issue an executive order for the supposed purpose to strengthen the nation's defenses against cyberattacks if Congress refuses to act. 

I doubt Obama's reasons for pondering the issue of an executive order to prevent cyberattacks is accurate.  I believe it has to do with controlling the type of information that streams forth through the internet.  There are all sorts of websites that churn out information that runs counter to the globalist agenda.  There are websites that try to call into accountability the political punks in Congress.  There are websites that question Obama's natural-born citizenship eligibility.  There are websites that expose Obama's socialist agenda and the advisors that he surrounds himself with.  You know the president isn't going to be supportive of information that's critical of him and his left-leaning policies. 

Therefore, President Obama and cronies are going to use whatever means are at their disposal to silence free speech.  What better way to do so than through the means of internet.  There is a wealth of information on the internet.  I wouldn't be suprised to see the president eventually issue an executive order to regulate the internet.  I definitely believe that will be the case if he wins a second term as president.  That's my take on the story.

A 40-year old army veteran and suspected white supremacist who gunned down six inside a Milwaukee-era Sikh temple shot the responding officer eight or nine times before he was killed by police, according to authorities on Monday.  Officials said the gunman, whom they identified as Wade Michael Page, walked into the Sikh temple of Wisconsin on Sunday and opened fire with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun and several dozen prepared for morning services.  The victimes ranged in age from 39 to 84, authorities said.  Three others were wounded and remain in critical condition, including a 51-year-old veteran police officer Brian Murphy. 

Authorities said during the Monday press conference there was no reason to believe anyone other than Page was involved in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek.  The FBI had shown a photo of a person shown wanted for questioning, but after talking with the man, he was found to not be tied with the shooting.  Teresa Carlson, an FBI special agent in Charge, said a motive is still under investigation, and noted that authorities are looking at Page's "ties to white supremacist groups."  Carlson said the shooting is being investigated as a possible "act of terrorism". 

Four people were found dead inside the temple, while three, including the suspected shooter, were found dead outside.  To read the full story, click on the above link at FoxNews.com.

Jobless Rate Rises to 8.3%, Hiring Picks Up But Still Running Short

Jobless rate rises to 8.3 percent, hiring picks up but still falling short | Fox News



The unemployment rate climbed back up to 8.3 percent in July, which reflects a stagnant economic picture.  Even though hiring improved, it wasn't substantial to amount to anything.  It didn't make a dent in the unemployment picture.  The Labor Department reported after three straight months of dismal job numbers, hiring reached its best level since February, adding 163,000 jobs.  The question I have to ask is what type of jobs were added?  Were they temporary jobs or permanent jobs?  Regardless of how many jobs were added last month, it wasn't substantial to lower the unemployment rate.  There are 12.8 million Americans unemployed.  In order to lower the unemployment rate substantially, at least 250,000 jobs would need to be added per month.  We're not even close to that.  The economy added 151,000 jobs a month this year, which is the same pace as last year. 

We've had 41 straight months of unemployment around 8.0 or above.  That's part of President Obama's agenda to take down capitalism.  Why do I say that?  Take a look at the legislation that's been passed during the first couple of years during President Obama's administration.  One of them was Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act of March 2010.  Once the key provisions of Obamacare is implemented in 2014, it will greatly increase the unemployment rate.  Employers won't be able to pay the benefits required by the federal government.  Another bill passed was Dodd-Frank in 2010.  That bill adds more burdensome regulations upon small businesses.  Those two bills alone will stifle job growth.  Also, President Obama has been pushing for stricter environmental regulations on coal and energy.  He's also through executive order limited new offshore drilling.  He's also opposed the Keystone XL Pipeline project as well.  All the legislation that's been passed is bringing us down the road to socialism at a fast pace.  Before too long it will result in fascism, where the government will be controlling every aspect of your lives.  If you don't think it's coming, just wait and see.

Ted Cruz Wins Texas Senate Primary in a Victory For Tea Party

Ted Cruz wins Texas Senate primary in a victory for tea party - The Washington Post



Senate Candidate Ted Cruz cruises to victory in Texas primary

Ted Cruz, once a long shot for the candidacy of the U.S. Senate in Texas, won a huge primary victory last Tuesday. He's a Tea Party candidate running as a Republican for Kay Bailey Hutchinson's Senate seat this fall in the general election.  Cruz's victory provides Tea Party activists renewed momentum in what they said was their biggest victory this year.  Cruz, a former Texas Solicitor General and a first-time candidate for elective office, is the Tea Party's first bona fide star of the 2012 campaign: a charismatic speaker with an up-by-the-bootstraps biography who upended the Republican establishment in the nation's largest red state.  Cruz is a Cuban-American who's father immigrated from Cuba in 1957.

With all precincts reporting, Cruz won 13% more votes than Lt. Governor David Dewhurst, a powerful GOP figure who spent freely from his vast personal fortune and had endorsements from most of the state's influential Republicans, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

GOP House Leaders Refuse to Defund Obamacare

Betrayal: House GOP leaders refuse to defund Obamacare | Opinion - Conservative


From left to right: Weeping House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)

The GOP leadership in the House have proven they don't deserve the trust and confidence of conservative voters.  Both Boehner and Cantor should be voted out of their districts this fall.  Kevin McCarthy has chosen not to run this fall.  As despicable as the Democrats are on a national level, at least you know where they stand on an issue.  They don't have a problem being very candid about their positions on issues such as same-sex marriage, abortion, Obamacare, socialism, etc.  Republicans, on the other hand, speak out of both sides of their mouths.  During the election of 2010, they drafted a document entitled, "A Pledge to America" speaking of what they will do to eliminate the size and scope of government and to cut government waste.  I've heard House Speaker John Boehner a number of times say that Obamacare will be a job killer.  He at one time said that defunding Obamacare would be an option right before he became House Speaker.  Tragically, he hasn't done anything of the sort.

Doug Book reports for the Western Center for Journalism that Republican leaders John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Kevin McCarthy have decided to not defund Obamacare.  They are going to fully fund the federal government.  What??  Why the change of heart?  Defunding Obamacare isn't part of the agenda, as far as I'm concerned.  Instead, the House held these "symbolic" repeal votes to strike down Obamacare, knowing fully well that it had no chance of repeal with a Democratic Senate nor a Democratic White House.  However, the House has the constitutional authority to control spending.  They have control over the "purse strings."  The only way to stop Obamacare from going forward at least for right now is for the House to choke off funding for Obamacare.  Otherwise, all this talk about repealing Obamacare is to no avail.  The truth of the matter is the only thing these Congressmen care about is their own political careers and they don't possess the political will to do what it takes to stop funding of Obamacare.  I have no confidence in these Republicans whatsoever.

Romney Comments at Fundraiser Outrage Palestinians

My Way News - Romney comments at fundraiser outrage Palestinians

During GOP candidate Mitt Romney's unprecedented fundraising trip in Israel, he told Jewish donors that their culture is part of what has allowed them to be more economically successful than the Palestinians.  As a result, Palestinian leaders were outraged at his comments and said they were racist and out of touch with the realities of the Middle East.  His campaign later said his remarks were mischaracterized.  Romney was making a comparison between the GDP per capita in Israel vs. GDP in the areas run by the Palestinian authority.  Romney said some economic histories have theorized "that culture makes all the difference."  The truth is culture makes a huge difference.  In order to understand how a society operates, you must learn about the culture that undergirds that society. 

"And as I come here and look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things," Romney said citing an innovative business climate, the Jewish history of thriving in difficult circumstances and the 'hand of providence'."  He said similar disparity exists between neighboring countries, like Mexico and the United States.  Palestinian reaction to Romney was very swift and pointed.  "It is a racist statement and this man doesn't realize that the Palestinian economy cannot reach its potential because there is an Israeli occupation," said Saab Erekat, a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. 

Mitt Romney was right in his assessment of Israel.  Culture does make all the difference.  The reason why any country has a successful economy is due to the fact that the culture that the population embraces and encourages hard work, thrift, and success.  A society that has a prosperous economy has a culture which instills a strong work ethic in its citizens.  You can't bypass that.  The reason why the Palestians are in the shape they're in is because of their religion.  They embrace the religion of Israel that preaches in killing the infidel, which means the Israeli people.  There's great enmity between the Palestinians and the Jews.  The Palestinian government Hamas spend their money on weapons to conduct suicide missions in Israel.  They're all about killing and destroying the infidel in the name of religion.  No religion or ideology that promotes jihad is going to produce a prosperous nation, regardless whether it's economically, morally, culturally, and spiritually.  It produces a culture of death.

Romney is right in supporting Israel and he better support Israel if he's elected president this fall.  If he doesn't, then God will judge America.  To read the full story, click on the link above.

Record Sales on Chick-fil-A Day, Company Says

Record Sales on Chick-fil-A Day, Company Says


   

Chick-fil-A posted record-setting sales on Wednesday, as customers flocked to restaurants nationwide in support of its stance against same-sex marriage.  Steve Robinson, Chick-fil-A's executive vice president of marketing, said, "While we don't release exact sales numbers, we can confirm reports that it's a record-setting day."  "The Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" was called by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who said he organized the event without discussing it with owner Dan Cathy because it emphasized an issue of fairness.  Huckabee told Newsmax on Tuesday that more than 20 million people viewed his Facebook event page to learn about the day. 

I went to Chick-fil-A yesterday evening 20 minutes before it closed.  I really enjoyed my experience there.  I highly recommend this place to eat at.  It has a great atmosphere with class-A customer service.  I appreciate the Christian atmosphere that the Cathy's have instilled there since 1967.  To read the full story, click on the above link from Newsmax.

Obama, Romney Look Overseas For Campaign Cash

Obama, Romney look overseas for campaign cash | Fox News

             

President Barack Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney are both looking overseas for foreign money, given the fact the the presidential race is very tight right now, according to Fox News.  Both candidates have been courting Americans living abroad, raising money for what is most likely to be the most expensive presidential election ever in U.S. history and galvanizing a largely untapped group of supposed eligible voters.  According to Federal Election Commission Chairman David Mason, the practice is legal and has been used for decades.  Obama has raised nearly $600,000 abroad and Romney has raised $325,000 abroad from Americans abroad, according to campaign finance records analyzed by the Center for Responsive Politics.  Those figures don't include sums raised by the Democratic and Republican party committees or Romney's take from his fundraising in London during his visit there last week. 

When I saw the headline a little while ago, I was concerned because the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), prohibits any foreign national, from contributing, donating, or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election of the United States.  Former President Bill Clinton was in violation of this law probably in both the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections when the Chinese funneled money to his campaigns.  I did read there's an exception when it comes to raising money from Americans living abroad.  However, am I to believe both Romney and Obama are raising money exclusively from Americans living abroad?  I doubt it, especially from the Obama camp.  With President Obama's disdain for the Constitution, I believe he's raised tons of foreign money for his campaign.  He doesn't care about breaking federal election laws.  President Obama isn't a nationalist in his thinking anyway.  He believes in one-worldism.  Romney does as well but he isn't blatant about it.  Since Obama and Romney are globalists, they think in terms of foreign or international law, not the "law of the land."  Who cares about the law of the land?  International law is the "supreme law of the world" to these globalists. 

Mitt Romney held an unprecedented fundraiser in Israel this past weekend.  I wonder how much foreign money was raised?  If we knew how much of the money these candidates raised is against the law, our jaws would drop to the ground.  To read the full story, click on the above link from FoxNews.com.

Democrats Move to Include Gay Marriage Support in Official Party Platform

Dems move to include gay marriage support in official party platform | Fox News

flag_gayprideny_062412.jpg

Democrats are moving for the first time to include the party platform which endorses same-sex marriage or homosexual marriage.  This past year President Barack Obama became the first sitting president to voice support over same-sex marriage.  A few days before the president gave his endorsement of same-sex marriage, vice-president Joe Biden did the same thing. 

The Democratic National Convention will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina in early September, following the Republican National Convention.  Sources told Fox News that the Democrats' platform drafting committee voted unamimously to include the language backing same-sex marriage over the weekend at a meeting in Minneapolis. 

This doesn't surprise me whatsoever.  The Democratic Party, at least on the national level, is the party of the perverts, illegal aliens, the deviants, welfare recipients, and the list continues.  It's a gross shame and a radical departure from what the Democratic Party once was.  I'm not saying the Democratic Party was ever perfect, but the Democrats who are in charge today are nothing but socialists, communists, and perverts nationally.  It's tragic.  However, conservative voters should know what to expect from the Democratic Party.  They make their stance obvious and they're proud of it.  What bothers me are the so-called Republicans such as House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and Michelle Bachmann.  They parade themselves as constitutional conservatives but they won't fight for the values that voters have sent them to Washington for.  Instead, they cave into President Obama and his agenda. 

No voter that has his/her right mind needs to vote for President Obama this fall.  The gay agenda is nothing but perversion and runs contrary to God, the Bible, and society.  It's nothing but a slap on the traditional family unit.  To read the full story, click on the above link from FoxNews.com.
