They Knew the Whole Time! ~ Ep. 1191 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

Dan Bongino does this show, the first of two, from CPAC. It is definitely a loaded show!

There is a worldwide panic about the Coronavirus (which still confuses AOC), and the Demonicrats are politicizing the entire situation. Dan reminds us of the Rahm Emanuel (former Obama Chief of Staff) line, "Never let a crisis go to waste," because that is exactly what the Demonicrats are doing. Of course, Nancy Pelosi is not well equipped at times, with making use of that strategy. She kind of contradicts herself when trying to talk about how the President is handling the Corona virus crisis, as Dan shows us.

Bongino gives another hat tip to @Techno_Fog, who provided a good lead to Dan. It turns out, possibly, that the Mueller probe knew that President Trump was NOT a suspect from the very beginning! And yet, Rosenstein and Weissman, and the rest of the Russian collusion investigators, continued with the investigation, anyway? And made life miserable for Roger Stone, Gen. Flynn, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, and others, anyway? Well, that is a good reason why it is the Swamp, and that must be drained.

Speaking of Roger Stone, it turns out that the jury foreman was definitely biased. She contradicts herself in questioning. Will this lead to a new trial? That's a good possibility at this time.

Here is a segment that will show the media bias, with the Demonicrats condemning the President for the travel bans. Hmmm, Trump travel ban policies may have helped us keep the Coronavirus from accelerating the spread here in the U.S.

Toward the end, there is a segment that is a must see. Dan says how some people believe that we should do an "Operation Chaos" to get Bernie Sanders nominated by the Demonicrats, and while he respects that opinion, he vehemently disagrees. Dan, along with most of us, believes that Bernie is a clear and present danger. Bongino is not convinced that Bernie would get demolished by the President. He warns, do not underestimate this guy! The media will do it's best to try to erode the great things the President has done, and make Bernie look like the acceptable alternative.

Dan is not in favor of the reauthorization of the Patriot Act, especially Section 215. Watch this part, right at the end of this episode, and decide for yourself what action that you will take. He is urging us to call our Representatives and Senators, and express your dismay with the reauthorization.

So here you go, Episode 1191 coming right up. It is pretty cool to see Dan along with his wife Paula, and producer (Elvis look-alike?) Joe, and even some people passing by the booth, including the #MAGA cowboy. If you saw anyone familiar going by and getting on camera, let them know!

Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing for Tuesday, Mar 6, 2012

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I coined the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

Please excuse me if I don't blush when I gush about this great edition of the Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing, for it is an excellent representation of the main theme of the stories and columns featured below.  (And, remember, it is Super Tuesday.... Very fitting!)

When our highly esteemed colleague and patriot Andrew Breitbart suddenly passed away, it was definitely a shock for many of us that knew him or were aware of his work. As Joseph Farah states, when somebody that is only 43 years of age with a wife and four children suddenly passes, "It’s just not right."

The total weirdness of the sudden, unexpected death of such a luminary that has found and brandished the weapon of mass destruction - the truth - against the colossal corruption going on in our society and politics seems to be a lot more than some people want to deal with. As Barbara Simpson writes, "Despite speculation there might have been foul play because of his new investigation of Barack Obama’s college days – which is not out of the realm of possibility...", the truth is, we still have the sorrow and grief for his family to deal with.

But sure enough, there are those out there that believe that Andrew's death was caused by the dark forces of evil wishing to prevent more revelations from becoming public. And though that is a topic that will be debated for many years, that isn't really what this particular post is about. (But don't worry, I did make sure that Alex Jones gets his two cents included below.)

Not taking away anything from the conspiracy theorists - and they may have a point - the real reason for me to focus on Andrew Breitbart today is to honor him by recognizing his leadership in the field of "citizen journalists," most of whom will never earn a nickel for doing what we do. The whole thing to remember is that there will not be just a 1,000 citizen journalists who will continue to fight for our freedom in our own ways, with the abilities that are God-given, but probably somewhere in the millions of us will carry on. That would fill up a lot of detention facilities (i.e., re-education camps)!

"They" may be able to take out one hero like Andrew Breitbart, if that is the case, but the pulse of those that desire to stay free will never, ever cease. The citizen journalists can't be silenced without a total purge. As I wrote on my facebook status one day: "Let me be perfectly clear: They will have to pry my grasp of Freedom from my cold, dead hands." Andrew Breitbart never ceased to keep trying to help us keep our liberty that our forefathers fought for. I'm just sayin'...

Breitbart legacy lives on in relaunched websites, final column
Via InfoWars.com: Breitbart’s Final Column Was Part of ‘Vetting Obama’ Series
From The Daily Caller ~ By Matthew Boyle ~ Published: 12:00 AM 03/05/2012

The late media mogul Andrew Breitbart’s final column was released Sunday night on a newly redesigned website that includes all of his “Big” sites under a single umbrella.

The column, which examines Obama’s admiration for radical community organizer Saul Alinsky, is titled “The Vetting, Part 1: Obama’s Love Song to Alinsky.”

Andrew Breitbart

Breitbart had planned the “Vetting” Obama series before his sudden death last Thursday at age 43. He announced the project during a speech at February’s Conservative Political Action Conference.

Breitbart said he didn’t believe the mainstream media did its job properly investigating President Obama’s past during the 2008 election and he would do the job the media failed to do this time around.

“I’ve got videos — this election we’re going to vet him,” he said in his CPAC speech, adding that “racial division and class warfare were central” to Obama’s 2008 “hope and change” slogans.

In his final column, Breitbart explored Obama’s decision in 1998 as a Illinois state senator to participate in a panel discussion after the performance of a new play celebrating the life of Alinsky.

Here is an excerpt from the introduction to Andrew's last column, "The Vetting, Part I: Barack's Love Song To Alinsky."

Prior to his passing, Andrew Breitbart said that the mission of the Breitbart empire was to exemplify the free and fearless press that our Constitution protects--but which, increasingly, the mainstream media denies us.

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” – “Who guards the guardians?” Andrew saw himself in that role—as a guardian protecting Americans from the left’s “objective” loyal scribes.

Andrew wanted to do what the mainstream media would not. First and foremost: Andrew pledged to vet President Barack H. Obama.

Breitbart: “Wait ‘Til They See What Happens March 1st”
Breitbart died hours before planned release of damning Obama footage
From InfoWars.com ~ By Paul Joseph Watson ~ Posted Friday, March 2, 2012

In a stunning coincidence, It appears Andrew Breitbart suffered his untimely death just hours before he was set to release damning video footage that could have sunk Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.

Andrew Breitbart

Around three weeks ago on February 9 during the ‘Blog Bash’ event in Washington DC, Breitbart made a prophetic comment that takes on a somewhat chilling nature given the fact that he died in the early hours of March 1st.

Speaking to Lawrence Sinclair of Sinclair News, Breitbart stated, “Wait til they see what happens March 1st.”

It’s almost certain that Breitbart was referring to his plan to release damning footage of President Obama that he had been promising to reveal throughout the month of February.

As we reported yesterday, Breitbart spoke of his intention to release the tape during his CPAC speech last month. The footage shows Obama in his college days appearing alongside former Weather Underground terrorists Bill and Bernardine Dohrn. Observers had speculated that the footage could have derailed Obama’s hopes for a second term.

Secretive nationwide network gives SEIU new organizing muscle
Via THEBLAZE ~ From The Daily Caller ~ By Richard Pollock ~ Published: 2:14 AM 03/05/2012

This is the first in a Daily Caller investigative series.

The politically aggressive Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has quietly created a national network of at least eight community-organizing groups, some of which function alongside the Occupy Wall Street movement, a Daily Caller investigation shows.

Incorporated by the SEIU as local non-profits, the groups are waging concerted local political campaigns to publicly attack conservative political figures, banks, energy companies and other corporations.

Each local group has portrayed itself as an independent community organization not tied to any special interest. But they were founded, incorporated, and led by SEIU personnel.

The individual activist groups use benign-sounding names including This Is Our DC; Good Jobs, Great Houston; Good Jobs, Better Baltimore; Good Jobs Now in Detroit; Fight for Philly; One Pittsburgh; Good Jobs LA; and Minnesotans for a Fair Economy.

In reality, they are creations of the wealthy and influential labor union, amounting to a secret network of new SEIU front groups.

COMMENTARY

I will start the conversation with the commentary regarding Andrew Breitbart by relating to you what I wrote within a couple hours after hearing the news and knowing it was confirmed:

Time 2 Escape WIFLI Special Edition: Andrew Breitbart dead at 43
From Blogging In Our Time 2 Escape ~ Posted Thursday, March 01, 2012, 11:18 A.M.

~ A Time 2 Escape WIFLI SPECIAL EDITION ~

ANDREW BREITBART

A very short time ago, when the story first broke on Fox News and then on Glenn Beck's radio show, I found out that Andrew Breitbart had passed away early today (or late yesterday?) from "natural causes."

It was a very big shock. I had just woke up from a very much needed power nap here in my office (darn, missed about 20 minutes of Glenn Beck's show!) when the story broke on Fox News, and so I pinched myself to make sure it wasn't just a dream, or a terrible nightmare. Very unfortunately, I was wide awake, and it really did happen.

The news hit me very hard. The things that Andrew had worked on in the last few years were fearless. He was a courageous patriot that exposed the corruption in government. Andrew understood that Americans needed to know what is really going on. He exposed ACORN back in 2009, with the help of undercover videographers James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles.

The fearlessness and courage of the man and his associates is matched by very few.

Back in the day before the WIFLI editions, I used to write about various commentaries by other patriots, one being Victoria Jackson that often received my accolades. This story was very fitting for this issue concerning Andrew Breitbart's influence on the New Media. My excerpt from this commentary will be from the introduction that I had written:

I know Andrew Breitbart! ~ By Victoria Jackson
From Blogging In Our Time 2 Escape ~ Posted Monday, April 25, 2011, 10:04 A.M.

I was finally able to read Victoria's column from last Friday morning. I'm a little behind on my reading. There is no shortage of brilliant columns to immerse ourselves in. Great media is coming at us 24/7/365 (366 next year!). And now with twitter and facebook and text messages telling us what our friends are reading or watching, there really is an infinite number of ways to entertain - excuse me, I mean educate - ourselves. Things just keep getting more hectic! But I am glad that I finally got to read Victoria's column. I learned a few things.

You will understand the gravity of the second paragraph of the excerpt above once you read down further. But first, make sure that you play the video below where Andrew Breitbart explains the citizen journalist movement to Sean Hannity:

~ Video provided by Fox News ~

It is all about CITIZEN JOURNALISM! I emphasize that point, because that is what this column is really about... for me. Sure, the actual theme of the column is that liberals can turn Conservative. Victoria and Andrew had once believed that they were liberals. They had at one time bought into the liberal lies... I mean ideologies. They became Conservatives. Don't forget, Ronald Reagan did the same thing.

And now for the great commentaries by the true professionals.

Farewell to Bo Diaz (aka Andrew Breitbart)
Exclusive: Joseph Farah remembers hard-working conservative warrior
From WND Commentary ~ By Joseph Farah ~ Published March 1, 2012

JOSEPH FARAH

WASHINGTON – You don’t expect to wake up in the morning to learn that a friend, colleague and fellow co-conspirator – 15 years your junior – has died.

It’s just not right.

That’s the news I got today about Andrew Breitbart, someone I have known and admired for nearly 15 years.

I still can’t believe it. All who knew him were hoping that someone had hacked into his website this morning and posted the news as a cruel joke. That would be just like Andrew’s enemies. But, alas, the unbelievably tragic announcement was confirmed.

Goodbye, Andrew, and thank you
Exclusive: Barbara Simpson ponders sting and suddenness of death
From WND Commentary ~ By Barbara Simpson ~ Published Mar 4, 2012

BARBARA SIMPSON

The morning I heard that Andrew Breitbart was dead, I was barely awake as the radio announcement broke through my groggy brain. The news, however, snapped me to attention and I began a day that drifted between the radio and the Internet to get the news, the updates, the speculation and the remembrances.

I didn’t know Andrew personally, but he was a guest on my KSFO radio program many times, always generous with his time and comments.

He was outspoken, brash, courageous and tireless.

I loved the story of his life from wild-child liberal to wild-man conservative! I admired him and his work and his accomplishments. He made my job easy, but his job was never-ending and difficult, battling the establishment.

The love/hate relationship Andrew’s work engendered was apparent in the reactions to his death.

Conservatives, those who were friends and those who were fans, lamented the loss and praised his diligence and courage in exposing the hypocrisy in today’s culture and politics.

To call the liberals predictable in their reaction to Breitbart’s passing would be generous. They were like lemmings going over the cliff, and their veiled insults were almost pleasant compared to the viciousness of blogs and tweets that relished in delivering the most egregious insults.

But the one aspect of his death was the suddenness. According to reports, he was fine, went out for an evening walk, stopped for a glass of wine and spent some time in good conversation and on his way home, dropped dead. Literally. He was 43.

Despite speculation there might have been foul play because of his new investigation of Barack Obama’s college days – which is not out of the realm of possibility...

Breitbart's final message to the left
Star Parker: 'Irony is that truth and compassion come from humility, not pride'
From WND Commentary ~ By Star Parker ~ Published Mar 2, 2012

STAR PARKER

If you think about it, Andrew Breitbart’s untimely passing from this life, at the age of 43, might be seen as the ultimate message that this man of media could deliver.

Breitbart famously used his media talent, particularly his facility with new media and new journalism, to fight the agenda of the left.

And what could strike more effectively at the heart of the premises of the left than the inscrutable death of a young and prodigiously talented and successful man, still scaling the heights of achievement, husband and father to four young children.

The fact is that the inconceivable and the unanticipated is the rule of our lives rather than the exception. Nothing more clearly defines the line which separates the political left from the political right than appreciation of this fact.

The left, after all, is about the pretense of planning, power and control. It’s about the belief that man – political man – can define and control the world and can appoint himself the final authority to determine what is fair and mete out justice.

OUTSIDE of the BOX

Yes, it is true, I can not avoid telling you that there will be plausible suspicions regarding the death of Andrew Breitbart. That is part of this story, after all. To bring some light to the possibility, I can always depend on Alex Jones, who you can entrust to come up with that alternative possibility that many may not even think about.

Did The Obama Crime Machine Kill Breitbart?

Video provided by TheAlexJonesChannel on Mar 1, 2012

It took LA a week to declare the cause of death for Whitney Houston but they knew 2 hours after Andrew Breitbart's death that it was natural and they told the world as fast as they could. Andrew said he would release film that would hurt Obama and now he is dead. It goes on and on and if that film dose not get released in full I call shenanigans.

Time 2 Escape WIFLI for Monday, Feb 13, 2012

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I coined the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

Based on the final piece that I included in this WIFLI edition in the OUTSIDE of the BOX section, I could probably be called insane, or at least, on my way there because of what I read and post. I posted several commentaries today that might seem to mean that I don't trust government. No, I'm totally sane; I'm just the messenger that is telling you about all those lunatics out there that are saying that our government is becoming a tyranny. Just don't tell anyone that I am buying into the message. Shhhh....

But, I have to wonder, will I be considered to also be insane if I said that we can defeat tyranny and stop the assassination attempt on our freedom? Is an optimistic viewpoint now a sign of insanity because we now have no chance of saving America? Is the desire for maintaining liberty in this country so futile that having any hope and taking action would be considered as a mental disorder? I hope that is not the case. But ... do you wonder if it could happen to you, too?

If I happen to disappear, you'll know why after you read this issue. I'm just sayin'...

Countdown! Iran's finger on nuclear trigger
2 warheads, payloads could be weaponized in weeks
From WND.com ~ By By Reza Kahlili ~ Published Feb 11, 2012

WASHINGTON – Iranian nuclear experts have completed the component for a nuclear bomb trigger, overcoming a major obstacle in obtaining the bomb, according to sources within Iran.

As reported last May, the Iranian nuclear and military industries, under the order of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were to weaponize at least two warheads with a nuclear payload no later than next month.

Sources within the Revolutionary Guards reveal that the work on the trigger is taking place covertly under the control of the Guards in the cities of Darkhovin and Isfahan.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the main brain behind the Iranian nuclear bomb program, is guiding the project. Fakhrizadeh reportedly reports directly to Khamenei and is under tight security because of the assassination of other Iranian nuclear scientists.

Government doesn't work!
Exclusive: Patrice Lewis rips politicians of both parties for violating their oaths of office
From WND Commentary ~ By Patrice Lewis ~ Published Feb 10, 2012

PATRICE LEWIS

Lately I’ve been feeling quite depressed about the state of our nation. I guess I’m suffering from political burnout.

That’s an amazing thing when you consider I haven’t exactly immersed myself in politics. We don’t have television reception, and so I haven’t seen any televised debates. Nor have I made any real effort to listen to any of the candidates. It’s gotten to the point where I just don’t care.

This week I’ve been re-reading portions of Harry Browne’s excellent book “Why Government Doesn’t Work.” Harry Browne was the Libertarian Party candidate for president in 1996 and 2000. Naturally he never even got close to winning because he had the audacity to suggest that government, in its current incarnation, doesn’t work. Sheesh, no wonder he was never elected.

Yes, it is the most critical election
Henry Lamb urges Americans to suit up and pitch in to eradicate Marxism
From WND Commentary ~ By Henry Lamb ~ Published Feb 10, 2012

HENRY LAMB

Several of the Republican candidates have said that the 2012 elections are the most important elections in our lifetime. They are. The current powers in Washington, most of the media, as well as academia, want the nation to abandon, or at least to reinterpret, the U.S. Constitution to justify the Marxist idea that government should manage society. These folks are winning the battle.

They’re winning because they’ve been working at it for a century. “They” are the progressives, like Barack Hussein Obama, who actually believe that government is a better manager of society and the economy than are free people in a free market. Obama apparently believes that his position endows him with the wisdom to make right decisions, regardless of the fact that he has had no real-life experience at anything other than organizing street protests.

His ACORN training produced a professional politician with the skills to win every confrontation with complete confidence that the ends justify any means that may be required. Obama’s history of public service is a history of leaving Chicago’s streets bloody with the losses of people who never knew what hit them. In the Illinois Senate, he voted “present” 129 times in route to the U.S. Senate, where his most important job was to ridicule and embarrass the Bush administration. What a job he did on Bush in 2006 when the debt ceiling had to be raised.

Had enough government yet?
Exclusive: Roger Hedgecock notes, 'Liberty-loving Americans allowed creeping growth'
From WND Commentary ~ By Roger Hedgecock ~ Published Feb 12, 2012

ROGER HEDGECOCK

Most Americans are opposed to the federal government requiring them to buy a health insurance policy in which the terms of coverage will be dictated by the government and the cost will be dictated by the health insurance companies. But this dictate is the culmination of a trend of government dictates that has been building for years.

Liberty-loving Americans have allowed this creeping growth of government, and we are not better off because of it.

The prayer Jesus taught includes the plea, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Obama’s scientists want that bread to be government approved. Too much salt in the free-market bread, you know.

In California, the Air Quality Board has promulgated standards for bakeries that require scrubbers on the exhausts from ovens to protect us from air pollution caused by the smell of baking bread.

Obama’s experts also want to brand sugar a toxin, and the exhaled breath of every living creature on the planet a pollutant.

In these and thousands of other ways, governments – local, state and federal – have intensified their nanny state intrusions into every nook and cranny of our lives. The ruling elites sincerely believe there is no human activity that couldn’t be made better and safer by government regulation.

Obama's divide-and-conquer strategy
Exclusive: Joseph Farah dubs administration's latest transgression an 'impeachable offense'
From WND Commentary ~ By Joseph Farah ~ Published Feb 12, 2012

JOSEPH FARAH

Barack Obama is a not only an abortion zealot, he’s also a fascist control freak – determined to make government the ultimate arbiter of morality on all matters political and economic.

That’s the only conclusion one can reach from his efforts to force individuals like me, institutions like the Catholic Church, insurance companies and employers nationwide to provide “free” abortions, “free” sterilizations and “free” contraception to those who are part of any health insurance program in the U.S.

It’s a natural manifestation of Obamacare – and something advocates of the legislation assured would never happen as a result of passage.

It didn’t take very long to reveal the administration’s deceit.

There’s no compromising with this hideous plan.

Last week, in an effort to defuse what has become a constitutional crisis prompted by the administration’s edicts, Obama suggested no one’s moral compass would need to be adjusted from true north because he would simply require insurance companies to pay for the taking of innocent human life rather than religious institutions.

This misses the point of the objections by 180 degrees.

UPDATE 02.13.2012 at 4:00 PM: 


How the Media Attempt to Marginalize a Social Conservative
From GOPUSA ~ By Bobby Eberle in "The Loft" ~ February 13, 2012 1:46 pm

This past Sunday, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum hit the political shows as candidates often do. Did the hosts focus on the pressing issues of jobs and the economy, the debt or the deficit? No. The focus was clearly on Santorum's positions as a social conservative. With Santorum's views established, the hosts at NBC and ABC tried to paint him as some sort of extremist. Their questions and efforts were nothing short of pathetic.

Just watch the video below in which NBC's "Meet the Press" host David Gregory actually asks Santorum if only single woman without children would be welcomed to work in a Santorum administration:

[See Video in article]

Santorum cracks a smile and provides an explanation to Gregory's outrageous question, but I sure wish a candidate or any other conservative would simply call these left-wingers out. That question was 1) stupid, 2) insulting, and 3) senseless. Santorum should have called him on it. Why do conservatives even go on these shows? The fact that Gregory asked it is enough to get the idea out there that Santorum may hold "extremist" positions. Ask the question... let the candidate deny the obvious. Mission accomplished: the question has been asked.

As noted in The Blaze, the idiocy was not confined to NBC. When Santorum moved over to ABC to speak on "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos, guess what Santorum was asked? He faced some standard election questions, then he was asked "what he would say to those who think his comments on radical feminism alienate women and make him an easier candidate to beat in the general election."

Time 2 Escape WIFLI for Friday, Feb 10, 2012

Feel how good it feels to let enthusiasm freely flow. Feel how powerful it is when your actions are continually energized by your enthusiasm.

Find those things about which you can be authentically enthusiastic. And then, let the power of your enthusiasm flow.

— Ralph Marston ~ Wednesday, February 8, 2012

I have been authentically enthusiastic in putting together this WIFLI ("when I feel like it") issue. I wanted to touch on the major issues of this last week, and I think I've done that. Thursday's excitement was the Marco Rubio speech at CPAC 2012. The speech can be linked to below. Before you get too excited about Rubio as a candidate for VP, be sure to see Joseph Farah's column featured in the Commentary section below. There is kind of a question about Rubio's constitutional eligibility to hold that office.

In the war between Gingrich and Romney, Newt claims to be the true Conservative. But, is he really? Or is the question now moot, being that Rick Santorum is now proven to be a viable candidate, and is in the process of leaving Newt in the dust.

And of course, this issue will give you some additional insight on the HHS Mandate "to force religious employers to cover the cost of contraception and abortion-inducing drugs in its employees’ health-care coverage."

And you know that this all points to something that may not seem obvious at this time. But, with the issues featured in this post, I'm reminded that GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum seems to have come out of nowhere at just the right time. With Santorum's conservative values, and being Catholic, he is the perfect contrast to both the moderate Mitt Romney and to the President who he could possibly be running against this fall, with God's blessing. I've found the GOP candidate in which I "can be authentically enthusiastic" about! And now, it's time to let my enthusiasm flow. I'm just sayin'...

Marco Rubio Stars at CPAC
The young Floridian politician makes the conservative case
From USNEWS ~ By Rebekah Metzler ~ February 9, 2012

Sen.. MARCO RUBIO (R-FL)

It's pretty easy to see why Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is on every GOP presidential candidate's vice presidential shot list. The freshman, Cuban-American senator laid out a passionate, succinct, and unifying conservative agenda more effectively than any of those actually vying for the presidency have thus far, during remarks he made at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday.

"What is the conservative movement? It's pretty straightforward. We believe that the way prosperity is created is when people have the freedom and the opportunity to pursue their dreams," Rubio said.

Keys tenets of the current conservative movement are tax reform, regulatory reform, energy independence, and religious freedom, he said.

"We understand you have to have taxes. You have to pay for the national defense. But the tax code should not be an impediment to the creation of jobs and economic opportunity," Rubio said.

Yes, clean air and clean water are important, he said, but regulations have to make sense.

"They can't exist just to justify the existence of an agency," he said. "They can't put you at a competitive disadvantage against the rest of the world."

Rubio: Obama 'a terrible president'
Rising GOP star takes aim at White House to kick off CPAC
From WND ~ By Jerome Corsi ~ Published Feb 9, 2012

While Republican presidential candidates were bruising each other on the campaign trail, rising GOP star Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida took aim at the current occupant of the White House to help kick off the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in the nation’s capital.

“Obama might be a great father, but he is a terrible president,” Rubio declared to an appreciative CPAC audience.

He didn’t limit his criticism of Democratic politicians to Obama.

“Why is it all Republican presidential candidates want to be Ronald Reagan, but no Democrats want to be Jimmy Carter?” he asked.

Rubio criticized the Obama administration for having no energy policy.

“We are an energy-rich country, and we need to use the energy God has blessed the nation with,” he asserted.

Gloves Off: Sen. Rand Paul Blasts HHS Mandate as ‘Authoritarian’ & ‘Totalitarian’
From THEBLAZE.com ~ By Becket Adams ~ Posted on February 8, 2012 at 9:48pm

In an op-ed for National Review online, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) denounces the now infamous decision by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to force religious employers to cover the cost of contraception and abortion-inducing drugs in its employees’ health-care coverage, saying that it’s just one more thing that makes “Obamacare” “socialized medicine.”

Sen. Paul goes so far to say that the decision by the HHS is “something generally witnessed only in totalitarian and authoritarian regimes,” and says that it is a direct violation of religious liberty, for all Christians, not just Catholics.

“Because ‘contraception’ includes abortifacients, this decision — made under the powers granted to the executive branch under Obamacare — also threatens many Protestant employers,” Sen. Paul writes.

“The decision is the latest and most outrageous example of why Obamacare — socialized medicine — must be repealed in its entirety. It is also a shocking example of the administration’s choosing to ignore the opinions and beliefs of millions of Americans.”

Is Gingrich a 'consistent' conservative?
Exclusive: Jane Chastain looks at success rate of Newt as speaker of the House
From WND Commentary ~ By Jane Chastain ~ Published Feb 8, 2012

Newt Gingrich has billed himself as the more “consistent conservative” in the race for the GOP presidential nomination. According to Gingrich, he engineered the 1995 Republican takeover of the House of Representatives, balanced the budget and reformed welfare. If that is the case, why wouldn’t all conservatives want this man in the White House?

In 1994, Gingrich did lead the revolution that enabled Republicans to take control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. However, his record on balancing the budget and welfare reform needs an asterisk. And, sadly, under his leadership, the GOP quickly lost its footing and became part of the problem in Washington.

Under the Contract with America, Republicans promised a vote on 10 key issues in the first 100 days of GOP control. Gingrich kept that promise and held votes on every one. Unfortunately, his actions assured that two of the most popular items would fail: a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution and term-limits.

Obamacare's unconstitutional coercion
Andrew Napolitano: Mandate on Catholics is akin to compelling Jews to eat pork
From WND Commentary ~ By Andrew Napolitano ~ Published Feb 8, 2012

When we were colonists and fought a war against the king and Parliament so that we could secede from the British Empire and be independent of it, we also fought for the value of personal freedom. That is the idea that in matters of personal choice, the government should play no role. The king only cared about the colonists’ personal choices if he could control or tax them.

One of the taxes he imposed was to support the Church of England. The Church of England that the colonists’ tax dollars supported was, of course, in England; it was not here. So, among the hateful taxes that impelled the colonists to revolt was this tax to support the king’s church.

When the Constitution was written, religious freedom was a principal matter for discussion and debate among the framers. They addressed this in the first clause of the First Amendment. Before the Constitution even protects the freedom of speech, it protects the natural right to worship or not to worship, free from the government. Here is what it says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. …”

That is very direct and clear. It was intended to prevent any tax money from going to a church, and it was intended to keep the government from using its coercive powers to influence or to punish religious institutions. For 125 years, most governments in America left churches alone.

Vice President Rubio? Not so fast
Exclusive: Joseph Farah explains why GOP favorite is ineligible for VP pick
From WND Commentary ~ By Joseph Farah ~ Published Feb 6, 2012

It’s no secret that Joseph Farah, once a popular guest on television news shows, was virtually blacklisted after challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility.

Networks and programs that once extended invitations to me stopped cold shortly after Obama was sworn into office.

Only recently have some brave hosts and producers begun having me back – to talk about other issues, of course.

Last Tuesday night was one of those occasions. I was asked to provide some Florida primary election night analysis on Sean Hannity’s popular Fox News Channel program. Toward the end of the segment, I speculated that Rick Santorum might be positioning himself as a vice-presidential running mate for the eventual nominee.

Hannity said, “I think that [position] is taken. I think it’s gonna be Rubio.”

OUTSIDE of the BOX

The power of enthusiasm
From The Daily Motivator ~ By Ralph Marston ~ Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Your life is a great and wonderful experience, so don’t be afraid to show some genuine, infectious enthusiasm for it. The world is filled with outstanding opportunities, and you can make the most of those opportunities by being enthusiastic about them.

Yes, sometimes you might look a little bit silly. However, it’s much better to be laughed at for being enthusiastic than to be pitied and avoided for being dull.

Enthusiasm keeps you young, energizes your days, and attracts positive people to your efforts. Enthusiasm keeps you focused on moving forward, even when there are obstacles and distractions working against you.
