It's called RACISM!

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. 

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

Thumbs Up To Charlie Crist

Former Gov. Charlie Crist: Here's why I'm backing Barack Obama

By Charlie Crist, Special to the Times
In Print: Sunday, August 26, 2012 (Tampa Bay Times)

I’ve studied, admired and gotten to know a lot of leaders in my life. Across Florida, in Washington and around the country, I've watched the failure of those who favor extreme rhetoric over sensible compromise, and I've seen how those who never lose sight of solutions sow the greatest successes.

Enough Said.....

This Article Should Not Only Be A Part Of Our History BUT Should Also Be A Wake Up Call To All Democrats And Independence Who Value Their Freedom!

It's quite obvious that the Democrats have not been paying attention, have no fight in them or they are still trying to teach President Obama a lesson after last nights win in NY but if they don't become fighters, learn what loyalty to a party is or have the ability to learn a lesson from mid-terms then we all lose!  I am not ready to give up what freedoms I have left because I was too lazy or ignorant to keep the tea party republicans out of the WH and out of Congress!  We are left with one simple fact; because of many on the left and indies it IS going to take a village to get rid of the idiots!-Mem

Now THIS, the Obama campaign should worry about

What could stop the Obama re-elect cold? New rules.

There’s a new adage, you might say, in Republican politics. If the rules don’t ensure victory for your side, change the rules.

CNN Throws A Tea Party!

During the Tea Party Republican debate the Crowd Yells Let Him Die.  This is what the Republicans vote for while they stand in food lines, lose their homes and send their children to school hungry!  I have seen it with my own eyes here in the state of Texas. Those who scream the loudest for small government are the ones who use the system the most! By the way, I have said this many times; When I was growing up Tea Parties were for little girls...nothing has changed!-Mem

The New GOP: Anti-Kids, Anti-Jobs, Anti-Business ... and Anti-Republican

By Richard (RJ) Eskow

September 9, 2011 - 3:14pm ET

This is not your father's (or mother's) GOP. During a time of national crisis, the President has submitted an urgently-needed jobs bill that is well within the mainstream for Republicans as well as Democrats. But today's Republicans are a new breed, dedicated not to their country or even an ideology.

The Whole Country Should Be Calling Out The Party Of No!

The President is frustrated as shown in this letter but I'm angry!  I'm angry that the media tells half truths.  I'm angry that the whole Country is not in an uproar about the tea party republicans and their actions (or rather non-actions) since they took the house!  Where are the jobs they promised?  They are so busy giving to the rich, trying to bring President Obama down, destroying the middle class, busting the unions and taking away our freedoms that they have become Anti-American and I'm sick to death of it.  I'm sick of people who fight against their own self-interest and who are loyal to a party that's taking this Country to the soup lines and tent cities!  You are not the only ones on this ship you are sinking with your denial and support; you are taking your kids, my kids and our grandchildren down with you!-Mem

Today I asked for a joint session of Congress where I will lay out a clear plan to get Americans back to work. Next week, I will deliver the details of the plan and call on lawmakers to pass it.

A Joke That's All Over The Internet But Worth Keeping

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

"She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be an Obama Democrat."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct,  but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

In response to a person who left me a comment some time ago. (continue at bottom for full article)

Let me say that if it had not been for the eight years of the Bush/Cheney regime, my husband would not have lost a 25 year career.  We would have had health insurance and we would not have lost 30,000 in our 401K overnight   For those who don't think that this is not the fault of the "Party Of No!" then you are delusional.  They are destroying this Country in the name of God and yet they go against everything "their bible" teaches.  I say their bible because the religious right are the ones saying that they have been called.  It is the tea party republicans and the religious right who are fighting for the rich, who are fighting to make the poor and middle class non-existent.  It is the religious right who are trying to end medicare and SSI.  If those on the right continue to vote against their own self interest then you have learned nothing from the teachings of Christ!

Here's A Thought!

In response to Mark Baumgardner's take on liberal vs. conservative- by Paul Ladniak

1: You’re irate over the president taking so many vacation days on the taxpayer’s dime (61 thus far), but you thought George W. Bush earned every minute of his leisure time (196 days at the same point in his presidency). This includes the ENTIRE month of August 2001, when on August 6th his Presidential Daily Briefing was entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S."

So it took the "Economist" all this time to figure it out....

....how long will it take the "sheeple" to figure it out?  When the SSI checks stop coming in?  When the food lines are no longer available to them?  When they join their neighbors in tent cities?  Will tea party republicans continue to vote against their own self-interest, fight their butts off for the wealthy or will they finally do what's best for them and their families?  Time will tell and I'm not holding my breath!-Mem

The Fall of the House of Murdoch

New York - During the four decades since the Watergate affair engulfed US President Richard Nixon, politicians have repeatedly ignored the scandal’s main lesson: the cover-up is worse than the crime. Like Nixon, they have paid a higher price for concealing their misdeeds than they would have for the misdeeds alone.

Going Populist? Dems Put GOP On Spot Over Tax Benefits For The Super-Rich

Brian Beutler | July 1, 2011, 6:00AM

Several weeks after Republicans and Democrats began high-level negotiations to slash federal spending by trillions of dollars -- the GOP's price for raising the national borrowing limit, and avoiding a catastrophic debt default -- Democrats finally peeped up. New tax revenues, of some kind, of some amount, would have to be part of the deal.

Bachmann Flubs History Again, Insists John Quincy Adams Was A Founding Father

Straight out of the gate in the 2012 presidential race, self-described “scholarly” candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has tripped over basic facts. Yesterday, she accidentally heralded a serial killer.

Today, on ABC’s Good Morning America, she defended her “pants on fire” statement that the “Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery” (they didn’t) by insisting that John Quincy Adams was a Founding Father (he wasn’t).

"We're losing more Americans every day because of inaction ... than drunk driving and homicide combined," Dr. David Himmelstein, a co-author of the study and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard, said in an interview with Reuters.

 Overall, researchers said American adults age 64 and younger who lack health insurance have a 40 percent higher risk of death than those who have coverage.

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are using the filibuster to limit and often derail Democrats' initiatives, paralyzing the Senate and making it nearly impossible to accomplish even the most routine matters.

Right Wing Christians March To The Beat Of The Teaparty Republican's Anti-Christ!

The article I am posting by wolverinethad has been my feelings (minus the F word most of the time) since I left the republican party in 2008.  I know that they don't care!  They only care about the rich, bringing down Obama and taking us back to a time that "freedom" did not exist for many.  The "people" of the teaparty republicans have truly become sheep who are losing their homes, jobs, health and freedom while fighting to keep the rich richer.  They have embraced Sarah Palins "death panel" for themselves, their children and all of America!  They have "fooled" the Right Wing Christians just like the Bible predicted they would and the Right Wing Christians march to the beat of the teaparty republicans Anti-Christ!

(Many don't believe in God, the Bible or the End Times but I say if an Anti-Christ does exist, he exist within the teaparty republicans.  That is my opinion and I won't change that thought based on my spiritual beliefs and research)
