There has been no doubt in my mind whatsoever that the Democrats will be able to drag out so many skeletons from Newt’s closet that he would never stand a chance to defeat Obama. My concern is, knowing how fickle the voters are, many people may vote for Gingrich just to spite Pelosi, just like they overlooked Newt’s “open marriage” problem to spite the media. Our nation is not as politically mature as they once were. I am concerned about our nation.
Pelosi”s remarks in a CNN interview:
John King, CNN: “You make your case there passionately for President Obama. But also understand that this is a tough reelection climate for any president, Democrat or Republican in this economy. Because of your history with Speaker Gingrich, what goes through your mind when you think of the possibility, which is more real today than it was a week or a month ago, that he would be the Republican nominee and that you could come back here next January or next February with a President Gingrich?”
Rep. Nancy Pelosi: “Let me just say this. That will never happen.”
King: “Why?”
Pelosi: “He’s not going to be President of the United States. That’s not going to happen. Let me just make my prediction and stand by it, it isn’t going to happen.”
King: “Why are you so sure?”
Pelosi: “There is something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him that’s their prerogative. I don’t even think that’s going to happen.”

Recently, I blogged about voter fraud. Through the years, I have noticed that most Americans look like deer in the headlights when voter fraud is mentioned; deer that really wish they could run from the crazy, dangerous car. Is this because we live in such an honest society where no person or group desires power or to influence political outcome?
Political reality dictates that if a candidate suspects and suggests voter fraud, they are laughed out of voter support. There is a culture of silence, shame, and disdain surrounding this subject, even with normally strong and courageous people. With sophisticated technology, voter fraud is not that hard. I have conclusively documented several cases in the past. I am happy to see the attorney general of South Carolina is taking this subject seriously.
South Carolina’s Attorney General detects voter fraud during primaries
Already, there has been some question into folks who cast their ballots on Saturday.
South Carolina’s Attorney General, Alan Wilson has notified the U.S. Justice Department of potential voter fraud.
Wilson says an analysis found 953 ballots cast by voters were people who are listed as dead. He has asked the State Law Enforcement Division to investigate.

Last night I heard a reporter on Fox News say that Newt told her he could tell the people that red is blue and they would believe him if he said it with enough passion. Think for a moment about the implications of that statement. Last night I also heard Newt say in his speech that it isn’t that he is a good debater, he simply in essence is just telling the people the truth. He also says repeatedly that he is the best debater and the one to take on Obama because of it.
Newt Gingrich is the real waffler, constantly changing his positions and lying about it. Mitt has flipped on a few issues but never flops. He shows he can study an issue and learn and grow from it and this is a good quality in a leader. Newt schmoozes both sides of the aisle.
A man I know worked in the White House for Reagan. He told me that twice Newt meet with Reagan and others on issues, promised his support and then promptly went and betrayed Reagan. Ronald Reagan could not stand Newt Gingrich. Have you noticed how Newt is always taking credit for helping Reagan save the world and create jobs? The man is a king sized liar.
The media constantly reinforces the idea of Romney as a flip-flopper and gives Gingrich a pass. Why? They want him to take on Obama so the Democrats keep the White House.

I believe in God. I believe He allows us to be tested in this life to see if we will live by our conscience, or sear it into silence. We have a choice before us that will test the metle of this nation. Will we choose an amoral candidate who pretends to be repentant but then calls his ex-wife a liar? Or will we choose a moral candidate who is faithful to his wife and is obviously a good father. We have three of those to decide between.
The truth is, we will end up with the president that we deserve. If we allow ourselves to manipulated by a subtle and cunning media who has been powerfully stumping for Gingrich, then we are too blind to deserve help. By their fruits we know them. We have a responsibility to judge these men because they will be leading this nation. Newt Gingrich has become a hero because he attacked the media for asking him about his ex-wife. Newt conveniently forgot that in the previous debates, the media attacked and encouraged the other candidates to attack Romney at every turn. Newt is a hypocrite of the highest measure.
Reason, logic, and virtue are at risk this presidential election. Will America pass this test? Will we go the way of Germany when a brilliant young orator tapped into their collective and righteous anger? We know where that path led. The ability to mesmerize does not ensure a good leader.

Ron Paul is the one candidate which the media refuses to recognize. Why this is I don’t know. He does great in the poles and is solid and consistent. I wonder if most people are even aware of what he has to say. If they even understand what he stands for. This video shows part of his message. I think he is right on. He understands better than the other candidates what is wrong and what needs to change.

For the second time this week, Yahoo News has removed my comment. There is absolutely a strong push in the media to destroy Romney. I am going to begin sending my blogs out to facebook and email. Please pass them along so people can learn the truth. In many articles and news programs, they attempt to appear fair but they give false and damaging information about Romney that has a great effect. Do not be fooled, do the research.
In an article on Yahoo News, the reporter furthers the big lie that Romney pays 15% tax on his income, less than most Americans. What they do not add is what Governor Chris Christie told a reporter yesterday. This is money being taxed a second time as Capital Gains. Romney is retired and living off of investments that are taxed at that rate. Again, the MSM is trying to incite class warfare, playing the cards Lenin used to create the political climate led to the instigation of communism in Russia. This divisive game is tearing America apart. It was done in France and a lot of people lost their heads over it (literally). Mob mentality is dangerous…hate is dangerous.
From the Yahoo article:
Gingrich’s decision comes amid a push from critics, Republican and Democratic alike, that Romney should release his own records. The former Massachusetts governor again indicated he planned to release his tax documents later this year, but already sparked a firestorm of criticism after saying earlier this week he paid an effective 15 percent rate — lower than many middle-income families — on much of the money he’s earned.

We have seen Meet the Press…and we have watched over the years as political agendas have controlled the press. What we wonder now is, can a decent political candidate beat the press?
For months, the main stream media has ignored Ron Paul and very carefully, and subtly campaigned against Romney. This week, Rush Limbaugh began finally waking up to how badly the media is trying to pull down Romney. The gloves are beginning to come off because the liberal media is determined to make sure that Gingrich is the nominee.
I watched four years ago when suddenly, all within a couple of days of each other, large media outlets all over the country endorsed John McCain who had been lagging badly in the polls. With careful planning, including the help of Mike Huckabee, Romney was ousted. McCain was thrilled with the positive media attention. In the general election, McCain became angry and outspoken about the press who turned around and betrayed him. They had orchestrated a candidate with baggage being the opponent of their golden boy, Obama.
Knowing that the American public is in general very easily manipulated and oblivious, they are trying it again. Many insiders have told us that the Obama camp is scared of Romney. They want Gingrich, a man with so much baggage, that like McCain, they will be able to easily destroy him.
I have watched for weeks as Gingrich, an unorganized, erratic man, without sufficient funds, has been interviewed by all the major press, on a daily basis. They play his anti-Romney ads over and over. After the CNN South Carolina Debate, with Santorum and then Gingrich was interviewed so they could trash on Romney without rebuttal and spin the results.
Today on his show, Limbaugh shared his belief that the media has been viciously attacking Romney all week even to the point of inviting a malpractice suit. He maintains that they are determined to bring down Romney so that Gingrich will be the nominee, and will prove an easy target for Obama.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2012/01/19/
Finally, someone with a national voice is starting to say what has been so obvious to many of us for some time. Even the rhetoric that Romney has been favored by the press has worked against Mitt and is blatantly untrue.
I also believe that the Iowa GOP has been compromised. The night of that election, in the wee hours, I watched Fox commentators announce inside information that the votes had not come in from Story County. There has not been a word about it since. Karl Rove said this county was heavily populated and had been polling very strongly for Romney. Those votes never appeared. I do not believe Santorum won, but feel Romney would have won by hundreds of votes if there had not been voter fraud. I proved voter fraud a few times in the 2008 race.
Can Romney beat Gingrich, the press, and voter fraud, even before he ever comes up against the Obama machine? We shall see.

Yesterday’s message was heard loud and clear!
Here is Wikipedia’s message today:
Thank you.
The Wikipedia blackout is over — and you have spoken.
More than 162 million people saw our message asking if you could imagine a world without free knowledge. You said no. You shut down Congress’s switchboards. You melted their servers. Your voice was loud and strong. Millions of people have spoken in defense of a free and open Internet.
For us, this is not about money. It’s about knowledge. As a community of authors, editors, photographers, and programmers, we invite everyone to share and build upon our work.
Our mission is to empower and engage people to document the sum of all human knowledge, and to make it available to all humanity, in perpetuity. We care passionately about the rights of authors, because we are authors.
SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows. What’s happened in the last 24 hours, though, is extraordinary. The Internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine, and as Wikipedia went dark, you’ve directed your energy to protecting it.
We’re turning the lights back on. Help us keep them shining brightly.
Here are just a few of the more than 75,000 sites and pages that participated in the SOPA blackout:
- Wikipedia
Craigslist
BoingBoing
Reddit
Wordpress
Tucows
Tumblr
Vimeo
Flickr
Wired
Mozilla
Google didn’t shut down – instead they blacked out the logo on the home page and included a message that said “Tell Congress: Please don’t censor the Web!”
See a list of confirmed sites that participated in the SOPA strike:

Wikipedia, one of the largest sites on the internet, is fighting back by imposing a blackout today in order to protest two bills up in Congress that will drastically change how we access the internet. Good for them! I can’t even guess how many times I used their site – at least once or twice daily, for FREE! Even though information there is not totally trustworthy, it is always a good jumping off point for further studies.
Big Brother is at it again and sites like InGodWeTrustBlog.com will be affected if these bills pass. The mainstream media is trying get us to believe that SOPA is no longer an issue because Obama has agreed not to sign it into law if it passes. Do not believe this! Once again, we are playing word games, ala Greg Brady’s “exact words” fiasco.
This is the notice I received from Politico:
Obama administration officials said in a blog post today that they would “not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.” The White House did not take a definite position on SOPA and the PROTECT IP Act, but said “the DNS filtering provisions in some proposed legislation suggests that they pose a real risk to cybersecurity and yet leave contraband goods and services accessible online.” The officials said, however, that legislation is needed to combat online piracy.
Here are two FAQ’s from Wikipedia’s site:
What are SOPA and PIPA?
SOPA and PIPA represent two bills in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate respectively. SOPA is short for the “Stop Online Piracy Act,” and PIPA is an acronym for the “Protect IP Act.” (“IP” stands for “intellectual property.”) In short, these bills are efforts to stop copyright infringement committed by foreign web sites, but, in our opinion, they do so in a way that actually infringes free expression while harming the Internet. Detailed information about these bills can be found in the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act articles on Wikipedia, which are available during the blackout. GovTrack lets you follow both bills through the legislative process: SOPA on this page, and PIPA on this one. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the public interest in the digital realm, has summarized why these bills are simply unacceptable in a world that values an open, secure, and free Internet.
Isn’t SOPA dead? Wasn’t the bill shelved, and didn’t the White House declare that it won’t sign anything that resembles the current bill?
No, neither SOPA nor PIPA is dead. On January 17th, SOPA’s sponsor said the bill will be discussed in early February. There are signs PIPA may be debated on the Senate floor next week. Moreover, SOPA and PIPA are just indicators of a much broader problem. In many jurisdictions around the world, we’re seeing the development of legislation that prioritizes overly-broad copyright enforcement laws, laws promoted by power players, over the preservation of individual civil liberties.
Be sure to read the entire article and then please, contact your legislators and tell them you are against SOPA and PIPA.

After the South Carolina Debate, we had a blogger make a comment that I want to address. He/she felt that I should not question Mitt Romney on his stance regarding The National Defense Act. This kind of thinking, in my opinion, smacks of old Europe where class division was the order of the day. We were not to question our betters.
In a monarchy, the decisions of the king are not to be questioned. We have a Republic that is based on the rule of law. Benjamin Franklin made it clear that we must diligently work to keep this form of government. Personal responsibility is requisite and that means we must each do our part to vigilantly scrutinize our representatives to ensure that they adhere to the rule of law.
This new law places domestic terror investigations and interrogations into the hands of the military and this opens the door for trial-free, indefinite detention of any person, including American citizens, as long as the government decides to call them terrorists. The potential for misuse is tremendous.
“ It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one. ”
— Voltaire
Four year
s ago, police in Missouri were encouraged to stereotype drivers with certain bumper stickers. One they were told to look out for was “Ron Paul” stickers. Laws like the NDA tend to muzzle people and create fear that we could be considered domestic terrorists simply by excercising our freedom of speech. This sets a dangerous precedent and starts us down a slippery slope.
Mitt Romney needs to open his eyes and understand the crucial importance of following the Constitution. Many people, mostly liberals, say that the Constitution is a living, breathing document. That is code for; we live in a different world and therefore we can throw out our rule of law for modern situations. Wrong.
I have researched what our founders went through to give us the inspired Constitution. They spent years of in-depth study to identify eternal principles of freedom that apply to any people with a desire for free agency and personal growth, as well as national opportunity. These principles can be applied to any society, not just an old agrarian society that we had during the founding. Also, they build in a way to adapt for any needed changes without throwing out their document. No politician has the legal right to put his own wisdom above a God inspired Constitution. And we must not lay aside our responsibility to think and put a politician, even one we really like, above the Constitution. It is our duty to scrutinize their actions and not be sheep.
