In an interview with the Arizona Capitol Times, Barton stood by the comparison.

"The Chief Executive is acting as an Imperial President," she added, "without regard to his citizens, only caring about his agenda. With all the exemptions he has unilaterally bestowed on many interest groups, could he not delay the ACA Individual Mandate for a single year? Without regard for the elected House of Representatives. What do you call that?"

“He’s dictating beyond his authority,” she said of Obama. “It’s not just the death camps. (Hitler) started in the communities, with national health care and gun control. You better read your history. Germany started with national health care and gun control before any of that other stuff happened. And Hitler was elected by a majority of people."

“It got your attention,” she added. “[President Obama is] doing something controversial. It’s not controversial that I’m criticizing him. I don’t think that’s controversial at all.”

Barton wasn't the only politician to connect the United States to the Third Reich.

Barton, an Arizona state representative, took to Facebook to express her fury in a series of status updates Monday. In one, she compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler.

In an interview with RT Spanish’ Entrevista, Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa compared American exceptionalism under Obama to Nazi Germany.

Wow, look at these costs just for running the Senate and Congress !!!!!

Wow, look at these costs just for running the Senate and Congress !!!!!

While Americans are forced to do more with less, Congress is doing less with more. It is time for serious leadership, which should begin by Congress significantly trimming its own budget and eliminating wasteful or low priority spending.

Reduce the Senate and House of Representatives Accounts by 15 percent – $3.82 billion Since 2000, the combined budget of the House and Senate has grown from $1.2 billion to nearly $2.3 billion.4 In 2010, the budget for the House of Representatives was $1.4 billion and the budget for the Senate was $926 million, their highest levels in history.

Even with a 15 percent reduction, Congress’ budget would still exceed $1.9 billion, approximately the level of funding in 2007. Congress could achieve this cut by reducing salary expenses for staff and cutting back on low-priority spending.

Between 2000 and 2009, the number of House of Representatives staff increased by 11 percent, to 9,808.5 On the other side of the Capitol, the number of Senate staff has swelled by nearly 25 percent, to 6,099, between 2001 and 2010.6

Leadership offices have seen the biggest rise in staff over the last three decades, more than tripling in size since 1977.7 Congress should consider reorganizing and consolidating its leadership and committee structure to ensure that it is designed to promote oversight, eliminate unneeded turf battles, and rationalize jurisdictions.

Experts and think tanks from all sides agree this is an area of government spending that should be reduced. In 2007, the Progressive Policy Institute proposed cutting congressional staff by 10 percent.8 The Heritage Foundation has also recommended reducing the House and Senate accounts.9 And the bipartisan Fiscal Commission recommended cutting Congress’ budget by 15 percent.

In addition, Congress should consider eliminating low-priority programs and spending items that do not contribute to these core duties. These include following:  A benefit House and Senate staffers receive comes in the form of student loan debt repayment. Thousands of congressional staff have taken advantage of the program in

Metro a voucher worth up to $230 a month is available to pay their fares. House Members can give their staff as much as $230 a month.14 Members are not required to pay for this out of their own budgets, but can provide it to their staffs from a separate account.

wow, we are paying for all of this

see BACK IN BLACK by Senator Coburn on silly absurd Federal spending

BACK IN BLACK

Washington is again waiting until the last minute to avoid a “crisis”— a crisis foreseen years in advance and created by Congress itself. For far too long, Washington politicians from both parties have spent money we do not have for things we do not need. As a result, the national debt now exceeds $14 trillion, $4 trillion of which was added in just the past three years. Now those who created this debt want us to believe the only solution is to simply borrow more money.

But any debt increase not accompanied with meaningful savings will only temporarily postpone the inevitable. Real choices must be made to reduce spending, increase revenues, or both. If Washington does not begin making these difficult choices today, those decisions will be made for us tomorrow and the results could be catastrophic. The only guaranteed entitlements for future generations will be debt and lower standards of living.

Our increasing government debt will “result in lower incomes than would otherwise occur, making future generations worse off,” warns the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. “Higher debt would make it harder for policymakers to respond to unexpected problems, such as financial crises, recessions, and wars. Higher debt would increase the likelihood of a fiscal crisis, in which investors would lose confidence in the government’s ability to manage its budget and the government would thereby lose its ability to borrow at affordable interest rates.”

Flags of Our Fathers 2.0 Obama version

Flags of Our Fathers 2.0 Obama version I was just watching the film "Flags of out Fathers" and had this ideal for a new image for a political cartoon to represent current politics in the USA. looking for artist t hat can depict Pres Obama/Eric Holder and other Obama comrades pulling down the American flag in the classic Iwo Jima photo.

Obama blamed drugs and guns, but here's an alternative

another ideal is to supply arms to the Mexicans citizens, so they could reduce/remove the cartel violence in their lives and also reduce their need to flee to the US for safety.
Mexican Vigilantes Seize Town, Arrest Police

On Friday, President Obama blamed drugs and guns for the massive crime sprees and continued violence that has disrupted so many lives and caused chaos and fear in Mexico.

According to Yahoo, Obama blames “illegal drugs” for being the root cause of the violence in Mexico while giving a speech at Mexico's Anthropology Museum.

"Much of the root cause for violence that has been happening here in Mexico, for which so many Mexicans have suffered, is the demand for illegal drugs in the United States.”

But Obama didn’t stop there. Despite suffering a blow to his gun reform policy a few weeks ago, the president continues to stump for “common sense” gun reform and managed to put some of the blame not just on the drugs, but the desire for dangerous criminals to acquire weapons.

"Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States," Obama said. "I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will."

"But at the same time, as I've said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people," he added.

BEN CARSON: Obama trying to ‘destroy country’…


National Review) – Dr. Benjamin Carson, the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital who garnered national headlines for his pointed remarks at last month’s National Prayer Breakfast, says that President Obama and his political allies are trying to “destroy the country.”


“Let’s say somebody were [in the White House] and they wanted to destroy this nation,” Carson postulated in remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “I would create division among the people, encourage a culture of ridicule for basic morality and the principles that made and sustained the country, undermine the financial stability of the nation, and weaken and destroy the military. It appears coincidentally that those are the very things that are happening right now.”

“Obama’s the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn’t public money. How many fund-raisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time. He’s lazy, but the media won’t report that.”

Heads up, Obama gunning for 16 Republican lawmakers

Heads up, Obama gunning for 16 Republican lawmakers Organizing for Action, the pro-Obama advocacy group formed last month out of the president's reelection campaign, is launching an online campaign urging Republican lawmakers to support universal background checks for gun purchases. The Los Angeles Times reports that the ads will target 16 Republican lawmakers who have not publicly committed to stricter background checks, including Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) in ads on local news outlets' websites starting Friday. The LA Times reports that the group spent close six figures on the ad buy, which is the issue-based nonprofit group's first. The ad launch coincides with the group's national "Day of Action," which encompasses 100 events in 80 congressional districts. According to the LA Times, Friday's events are aimed at building support for tougher background check standards, but future "action" days will focus on other aspects of the president's gun policy proposals. see more

Hockey Fans Wear KKK Hoods

Hockey Fans  Wear KKK Hoods


The three fans were from Red River High School, and they sparked wild controversy when they decided to wear Klu Klux Klan hoods to the game. Many have expressed outrage at their thoughtless actions and they have since been labeled "idiots" and "ignorant" by online posters.



Since the controversial incident the Red River High School principal has released a statement saying that all three students would be dealt with and would face "appropriate action."



According to various media reports, the three students donned the KKK hoods at the game, but received such backlash from the fans around them that they took them off again after just about a minute. However, the damage had been done and they now face punishment from their school authorities.



The game where the controversial incident took place was at the North Dakota High School state hockey semi-final tournament between the Red River High School, Grand Forks, and Davies High School, Fargo, at the Ralph Engelstad Arena.

Did Rush Limbaugh just launch a Tea Party revival effort?

Did Rush Limbaugh just launch a Tea Party revival effort? | WashingtonExaminer.com

Limbaugh criticized the "fear and panic" prompted by both parties together with the media each time there were any proposed spending cuts.




"I've said the same things over and over for 25 years," Limbaugh said, adding that it didn't matter who was in power. "It's the same stuff, it's the same threats, it's the same arguments, over and over nothing ever changes."



"We just keep spending more money, we create more dependency, we get more and more irresponsible one crisis to the next, all of them manufactured," Limbaugh added. "Except for the real crisis that nobody ever addresses and that is we can't afford it."



Limbaugh's comments reflect a common Tea Party frustration not only with Democrats but also with Republicans. Stop spending all the money. Stop creating false panics every time someone proposes cuts in government spending. And stop spending more money than you did the year before.


A similar frustration boiled over was when Rick Santelli gave his speech heard around the world calling for a new Tea Party

FreeGunShow.com | Free Gun Show | Gun Classifieds | Guns For Sale
FreeGunShow.com is the ultimate gun classifieds, guns for sale, no fees, guns for sale website. Help us support the 2nd Amendment and your right to buy and sell guns and sporting goods online.




Why we started FreeGunShow.com?



For over 10 years the founders of FreeGunShow.com (Cory and Dan) have been online e-tailers in the sporting goods vertical selling thousands of products to thousands of satisfied customers. With extensive manufacturer and B2B distributor relationships, our online stores have thrived in the growing guns and sporting goods verticals.



Recently, companies such as Google, eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, PayPal and others have started to attack the 2nd Amendment and restrict online sellers from participating with their advertising and payment services. In fact, many of our online stores have been completely removed from Google Shopping for violation of new terms of service (anything that is considered a "weapon" or "weapon accessory" bans the entire website!). This has not only happened to us, it has impacted thousands of other reputable online sellers as well. Yes, buyers have their bookmarks and favorite stores, but for new or existing customers trying to price shop this has created a massive void in the marketplace.



Compounding the problem, companies such as Amazon and eBay (if you even can get a gun accessory or sporting goods type product listed -- no guns or ammo allowed at a minimum) are charging as much as 15% to sellers for the privilege to sell on their marketplace. It is really challenging for sellers to make a reasonable profit while paying up to 15% on top of an already tight margin. At the end of the day, customers end up PAYING MORE for products because of these very high marketplace fees and restricted product shopping experiences. With these and other negative factors in mind, we set out to develop and launch a new solution that would solve our own problems plus provide new opportunities for other sellers and buyers.

It’s getting worse for Bob Menendez

It’s getting worse for Bob Menendez


It wasn’t the best weekend for Bob Menendez. On Saturday, a New York Times editorial called on the New Jersey senator to hand in his Foreign Relations Committee gavel while the Senate ethics committee investigates whether he exerted improper influence to help one of his top donors. On Sunday, his home state newspaper, the Star-Ledger, provided an exhaustive history of Menendez’s two-decade relationship with the donor, Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen, concluding that “when Melgen acts, Menendez reacts.” And this morning, the Times is reporting new details about the specific actions Menendez has taken on behalf of his benefactor.




There’s no smoking gun in the Star-Ledger report, but it details several instances in which an official action by Menendez on Melgen’s behalf was followed by a hefty donation from Melgen to a Menendez-aligned campaign committee. All told, according to the paper, Melgen and his family members have given $50,000 to Menendez over the last two decades and far more to groups that have advanced Menendez’s political interests — $700,000 last year to a super PAC designed to help Democratic incumbents who (like Menendez) were up for reelection in 2012, and over $100,000 last year to county Democratic organizations in New Jersey, which played a major role in turning out the vote for a ticket that Menendez was part of.

Culture of Corruption

Caribbean-based company ICSSI had seen its lucrative contract to X-ray the cargo entering the Dominican Republic languish for years when, in 2011, it began searching for an investor with political pull. Perhaps someone with the right connections would be able to pressure the Dominicans into enforcing the contract, which was valued at somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion over 20 years. And that special someone, it seemed, was Salomon E. Melgen, a Dominican-born ophthalmologist and businessman in South Florida, who had acquired a reputation as a powerful and expansive donor to Democratic politicians de los Estados Unidos. Melgen bought a controlling stake in ICSSI. Maybe he could succeed where others had failed.

Port Deal Pushed by Menendez Could Benefit Former Aide, Not Just a Major Donor
By FRANCES ROBLES

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — It turns out that the lucrative port security contract pushed by Senator Robert Menendez would enrich more than just a major benefactor.

The contract could also benefit one of the senator’s former top aides, people connected to the deal said.

Mr. Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, has pushed United States government officials to help enforce a contract that a company owned in part by one of his major donors, Dr. Salomon E. Melgen, has with the Dominican government, which has refused to honor it.

A top executive at Dr. Melgen’s security company will be Pedro Pablo Permuy, a former national security adviser and senior legislative aide to Mr. Menendez, according to a cousin of Dr. Melgen. Mr. Permuy’s ties to the senator go back at least 20 years.

Mr. Permuy did not respond to requests for interviews on Monday, but said in an e-mail that he was neither a board member nor an employee of the border security company.

But he sold it years later for commercial use at a big profit. When I asked whether he got a variance, Menendez couldn’t quite recall.

Buchyk spoke briefly with a Miami Herald reporter by telephone Thursday, saying she had worked for Melgen in the past.

But Buchyk wouldn’t answer questions on the type of work she did, and was eager to defend Melgen — particularly when asked about stories of Melgen’s alleged sexual liaisons with prostitutes.

more smells coming frm Senator Menendez

Menendez questioned Obama administration officials at a July hearing about what it was doing to help U.S. businesses that he felt were being unfairly treated by the government of the Dominican Republic and other Latin American countries.



One company Menendez was apparently referring to: ICSSI, acquired the year before by Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Palm Beach County eye doctor and friend. The firm was seeking to enforce a contract it had won to X-ray Dominican Republic port cargo, that could be worth $500 million to $1 billion over two decades.

Senator Bob Menendez caught with underage hookers?

News is just started to report Senator Bob Menendez and teenage prostitutes while partying in the Dominican Republic. Seems like the FBI is also active on this newsbit. Did the Senator use tax money for his travel expenses and commendations ? Who paid for these vacations?, his own money or ? Information made available to Schwartz and Levine at that time included allegations that some of Menendez’s prostitutes were as young as 16. The source also alleged that Sen. Menendez was taking “non-authorized trips” to the Dominican Republic, suggesting that he may have been evading Senate Ethics committee rules covering disclosures when third parties pay for a senator’s travel.

Menendez donor Salomon Melgen, an ophthalmologist and owner of an eye clinic in Florida, appears to have lent Menendez the use of his plane on several occasions. It is known that Sen. Menendez has been a regular visitor to the Dominican Republic. Menendez was a guest at Melgen’s Casa de Campo home on at least one occasion, according to a news account. Menendez’s GOP challenger, Republican state Sen. Joe Kyrillos, has called on the senator to release his travel records in the wake of this scandal breaking. The NRSC’s Jesmer echoed that call.

malfunction in a sinful society ?

malfunction in a sinful society ? Think Progress cited this passage: ”We must lovingly but firmly respond to the aggressive agenda of not all, but of many in the homosexual community. … Underneath this issue is a very powerful and aggressive moment. That movement is not a benevolent movement, it is a movement to seize by any means necessary the feeling and the mood of the day, to the point where the homosexual lifestyle becomes accepted as a norm in our society and is given full standing as any other lifestyle, as it relates to family.” And this one: ”I would refer you maybe just to the article “Born gay?” by Joe Dallas, who is the president of a ministry that helps with homosexuals in “recovery.” It was found in Christianity Today in June of 1992. It really unfolds for us that the evidence that they say is there, that the media wants to tell us is there really isn’t there at all. But I want to tell you this tonight. Even if it was there… “How do you respond to that? How do you respond to the news reports that we’re hearing in the last few months that there is a genetic tendency to be an over-eater and it’s been supposedly proved by the scientists? That there is a genetic tendency to addictive behavior. Alcoholics by and large have a genetic tendency to addictive behavior. I predict in our lifetimes and not a very long period of time from now, scientists and geneticists will have found a way to prove a gene theory for every malfunction in sinful society. And do you know why? We talked about it the very first week—because we do not want responsibility for our choices.” read more why Pastor was dumped by Obama

Same-sex relationships sinful and an abomination ?

In the talk, which the pastor said he gave 15 or 20 years ago, Giglio cited Scripture and called same-sex relationships sinful and an abomination. He warned congregants about what he called the "aggressive agenda" for acceptance of the "homosexual lifestyle." And he recommended the writings of an advocate for therapy that aims to convert gays and lesbians into heterosexuals. Repeatedly in the sermon, Giglio urged congregants to welcome gays and lesbians to the church and said God loves them.

something Freudian happened at Sandy Hook shooting

something Freudian happened at Sandy Hook shooting It seems that the spot lite is on gun control, I think the real issue is the state of mind of the kid who, woke up one morning, then shoots his mother in her face 4 time while she was still in bed. That's smells Freudian to me. Gun control is off target, pardon the pun. Gun control is off target, pardon the pun.

spotlite on Senator Charles E. Schumer

spotlite on Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York I think some one should look at how much Senator Charles Schumer profited form the rush senate bill for Sandy Relief originally estimated at $60 million. The House passed relief for the people effected by Sandy, $9.7 billion. I have never seen Senator Charles E. Schumer so emotional over a spending bill. The real question is how much did Charlie pocketed ? Maybe someone can check if he bought on some companies that benefited from the senate bill?
