President Obama on the "fiscal cliff" agreement

My heart is breaking for Newtown!

Our Country should be very sad.   We have allowed hate, racism and intolerance to fill the hearts and minds of the souls around us and then we wonder how this could happen in a small town, to children? If you speak hate and intolerance, if you listen to people like Rush Limbaugh and those who are extreme in their thinking then it won't matter the size of your town. Your children hear your hate, they feel your intolerance and they pay the price rather they are the hater or the victim!

SECRET SERVICE SAYS THE NUMBER OF THREATS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT IS OVERWHELMING

President Barack Obama is the target of more than 30 potential death threats a 

day and is being protected by an increasingly over-stretched Secret Service. He is the most threatened President in history.

Since the President took office in 2008, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400% cent. Some threats to the President have been publicized, including the well known alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history.

Most however, are kept under wraps because the Secret Service fears that revealing details of them would only increase the number of copycat attempts.

According to the U.S. Secret Service agents, their goal is to immediately respond to any direct threat against the president, the first family, the vice president, or visiting heads of state. Agents are then responsible for determining the credibility of the threat. 

Dear Dingbats...

...... who wish to secede. I have good news! Since it would be impossible for each state to come up with the money to buy the land from the federal government I have come up with a solution. If y'all move to Texas, throw your money into one pot then I really think you could pull this off.

For all the millions who did not sign the
petition, they are probably the middle class so just do what you do best and hold them hostage.

The really good news, you could fight Mexico for the land again and we all know you guys appreciate a good fight! 

Romney will bring all the bayonets and horses you will need. Ryan will bring your vouchers and ladies don't worry about being raped and pillaged. Your body will shut that down. 

You will especially love this part. Once there, the religious right will let you know what you can and can't do so you will never have to think for yourselves again. 

The cast of Fox as well as Limbaugh and the Koch Brothers will be there to sign your teabags. (I think you could sell them on E-bay for extra vouchers, especially if they have a picture of Jesus on them but remember to put back a little money for international shipping)

If you run into Donald Trump and he ask to see your "Gift Certificate" don't freak!  You can get one at Macy's or have one shipped from China!

We will be keeping all of the teachers, schools, books and scientist since you won't be needing them. In return you can keep your guns, we have our own.      

In these troubling times we continue to ask ourselves what would Jesus do? Knowing the answer to that we request that you send us all gay and lesbian people and anyone you see that might be a little different then you! 

We know that you will be more than happy to send anyone that is NOT White to us! Make sure that you especially send all the ones that are "Black" as our leader will STILL be "Black" and it is better that we keep them all together! 

Don't forget, you will no longer be allowed into the United States and will be deported back to Texas if caught so please remember to take Grandma with you. (If you get bored or she becomes annoying you can always throw her off the cliff.) 

I think that you should be made aware that Austin has asked to withdraw from the state of Texas and remain a part of the United State so we get the bands, the music, the hippies and Willie! (You can have the crappy weed from Mexico, we plan to grow our own)

One last thing, You can send the money for Texas directly to me.
(I will need market value) Please send cash only! 
Sincerely, Mem

The Core Of The Man....

This is what many of us saw in President Obama in 2008 and for the past four years!

This fight was for you Kevin!

Our Last Halloween... Dressed Up

Kevin, this fight was for you! We won! I love you and miss you but know you are still with me. I can feel you smiling! ♥ 

My faith in this Country has been renewed. Tonight proved that BIG MONEY, Voter suppression, Voter Fraud and LIES cannot win an election!  God Bless our President, his family, Joe Biden and his family and God Bless America!-Mem 

Update! OMG Kevin would really be smiling now!  Colorado just legalized Marijuana! For those who don't know Kevin was pronounced dead at 4:20.  I know that also made him smile!

Building My Own Coffin

I agree with Dan! This should be (IS) Treason!

I had posted this picture to my FB and my friend wrote this in the comment and I very much agree with him and think this should be brought up to the American people as well as ask where the media has been on this?-Mem

Dan Touse Add to this: > Perhaps more significant than the the above. the public should know that on the evening of 20 Jan 2009, as all of Washington was celebrating the Inauguration of President Obama, this prominent member of the House of Representatives andfuture candidate for the Vice President of the United States was engaged in a FOUR Hour meeting with 13 GOP colleagues at the plush Caucus Room Restaurant PLOTTING HOW TO DESTROY THE PRESIDENCY of the just Inaugurated President!!! They mutually agreed to do everything within their power to block or defeat any and every bill or initiative of the President - no matter how critical they might be to the National Welfare! They vowed to do everything possible to portray the President, his policies, and his party, in the most negative manner possible Upon exiting the meeting, participant Gingrich commented this meeting initiated the defeat of President Obama. A few weeks later fellow participant Pete Sessions of Tx boasted they would need to adopt Taliban-like tactics to confuse, disrupt, and defeat the Administration. It is hard to construe this as anything less than TREASON! One would think it would be impossible to nominate let alone vote for such a sleeze!

But what I find troubling is that Democrats, Progressives, & progressive orgs like MoveOn and the whole host of others, & the Media ALL Knew this & DID NOTHING. Most of the participants are up for re-election and this most Damning event is not even mentioned. No commercials! No Outrage! I urge FB-ers & orgs to try to raise this issue now. The participants:

GOP Reps

ERIC CANTOR [Va] Kevin McCarthy [Ca]
PAUL RYAN [Wi] Pete Sessions [Tx]
Jeb Hensarling [Tx] Pete Hoeksta [Mi]
Dan Lungren [Ca] 

GOP Senators

Jim DeMint [SC] Jon Kyl [Az]
Tom Coburn [Ok] John Ensign [Nv]
Bob Corker [Tn]

Misc GOP Freaks: Gingrich; Frank Luntz McConnell [and Boehner] were not present at this meeting - they had other issues with Luntz - but were fully complicit. Before leaving the GOP, the late Sen Arlen Spector attended the 1st post-Inaugural GOP Caucus meeting and stated the Leadership was commanding its members to block every Obama initiative. Vice President Biden essentially confirmed this when he reported Eight former GOP Senate colleagues approached him to apologize that they would not be able to help on any issue because they had strict orders from McConnell not to! There are 2 days left... get the word out - Vote these bastards down

Who Is The Bigger Fool?

Rush Limbaugh a college drop out.. & busted drug addict. A man who has been married four times is the voice of the so called “Family Values Party”. His lack of education doesn't hinder his constant critiquing of the President’s policy decisions. No matter how complex the issue he rants constantly about drug dealers & addicts, oblivious to the fact that he himself is an addict.. The fact that he is in his fourth marriage has not stopped him from expounding on family values & morals. Gay bashing is another of his favorite pastimes yet he overlooked his disdain for gays when he paid Elton John a million dollars to perform at his wedding. The fact that you would listen to, follow, or take advice from this man says more about you than it does about him... — with Charles Tillery.
