Kelly Ayotte’s New Phony Fan Page On Facebook

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

flagNHBy STEVE Mac DONALD

There was a new Facebook page up with the unoriginal goal of making Kelly Ayotte (NH GOP Candidate for the US Senate) look goofy.  It was called “Kelly Ayatch.”  The page featured a rather unflattering picture of Kelly Ayotte with an angry look.  And Kelly’s favorite television show…Rachel Maddow.

And this may also come as a surprise, but two of the four “Kelly Ayatch” friends, liked Barack Obama.  This was curious, so I investigated a bit.

The page’s first friend went by the name Shamate Harris, and listed her employer on her own Facebook page as the DSCC.  That could be the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee.  It could be.  Maybe.

The next “friend,” one Sarah Flowers, worked for Laguens Kully Klose Partners, a political media consulting firm that handles democrat candidates and left wing special interests.  One of those ‘Interests” happens to be Young Democrats of America (YDA). (which matters, sort of)

The Template

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

mediaI have noticed in the last few days the misnamed main stream media ignoring stories that don’t fit “The Template”. We are deluged with stories of the leaking oil in the gulf and the conduct of General McChrystal. In the meantime, a strong, conservative, black Republican just destroyed Strom Thurmond’s son in a primary for a South Carolina congressional seat. He won by more than a 2 to 1 margin.

Why would the media ignore this story? Because it doesn’t fit with “The Template” as it contradicts the notion that Republicans in general and Tea Party types specifically are racists. Instead, Newsweek publishes a story that bemoans the media’s “enduring fascination” with the Tea Party. If by fascination, Newsweek means “attempt to discredit and marginalize”, they are exactly right. That is, of course, not at all what the writers meant. Instead, they go on to again allege that racial prejudice is driving the political unrest in this year’s elections.

The Internet – America’s New Lost and Found

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

keyboardBy Rev. MICHAEL BRESCIANI

A visit to one of the best conservative news sites bounced me over to one of the most irreverent videos I’ve seen in a long time by just clicking on a few well placed links. I was reminded once again that the Internet doesn’t guard anyone’s sensibilities.  I got off that road with a simple click of the mouse.

I sat thinking of how Bill O’Reilly only the night before had tried to dismiss a story only because it was found on the Internet. His co-anchor reminded him of some of the most amazing breaking stories that came from the Internet and were missed entirely by all other media sources. He coalesced to his cohort but in a condescending manner. I still think Bill may have missed the point.

Is there anything Obama doesn’t know – or want to pass on to the American people? Is there anything the former ClintonNewsNetwork, CNN, now the official Obama network won’t report in order to present its new messiah in a flattering light?

The answer is no and no. As evidenced by a darling little weather report on CNN this morning featuring Obama as the forecaster-in-chief.

In his never-ending quest to control the flow of information, the Obama administration has launched a cute little website, Obama-Weather.com

Opaque Transparency or Smoke and Mirrors?

freedomofspeechAssault on Free Speech Continues

By Dr. ROBERT OWENS

Remember the promise of transparency that helped win the Presidency?  All bills passing Congress would be posted for 5 days before signed.  Seems the rules have changed.  Apparently the pledge only applied to NON-emergency bills and everything is an emergency in the New Republic.  The first bill signed into law the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was apparently an emergency.  We had to pass the pork-laden stimulus bill before any of the Best-Congress-Money-Can-Buy could read it; otherwise unemployment might reach the unacceptable 8% range though most of the provisions wouldn’t kick in for months or years.  The Bums-Rush is also being applied to the nationalization of medicine though the provisions of this monstrosity conveniently won’t overwhelm us until after the next presidential election.

In a direct assault against even the possibility of transparency the Chicago trained attack machine in the West Wing (Chicago’s 51st Ward) decided they have the power to decide what constitutes news.   For months they’ve refused to allow anyone on Fox.  This started when Chris Wallace had the bad taste to fact-check several statements made by White House officials and then the inexcusably bad taste to mention the official statements didn’t line up with the facts.  This was bad enough, but Fox commentator Glenn Beck dared to expose Obama advisor Van Jones as a self-proclaimed communist and then air the Acorn prostitution sting the totally transparent Obama Whitehouse decided it was time to muzzle the only major news network not in the tank.  The Obama Whitehouse declared war on Fox News.

Newsmen Do Not Decide What is Good and Evil – A Question of Ducks or Eagles

By Rev. MICHAEL BRESCIANI

At no other time in our history have the principles and faith of our founding fathers been under attack as they are today. The Bibles President Obama said Americans cling to have a lot to say about this attack, and it is not something this administration can easily deal with.

It seems that the President’s declaration that we are not a Christian nation and his belittlement of our faith in the Bible have gone a long way to assure some Americans that we need only follow him into the shining new American dream where all is gay, green, socialist and lean, and health care is almost free if you can find any.

In a recent interview the President said listening to his critics wasn’t what he involved himself with but only deciding what was best for the American people. The last time anyone looked at the idea of self determination which is fundamental to American freedoms it was the citizens of this country who must decide what is best for them, not the President. When did that change?

Is This the News or a Comedy Tour?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

thenewsBy Dr. ROBERT OWENS

Everyone routinely called them the Mainstream Media.  Rush now calls them the State Controlled Media.  I’ve called them the Mainstream Media, the Poodle Press, and the Lap-Dog Media.  Whatever you’ve called them, the time’s come to call them irrelevant.  Out with the old and in with the new.

When news organizations consistently slant their coverage and ignore major stories because they don’t fit their template or further their agenda, it’s time to re-evaluate what they are.  They portray themselves as objective yet everyone can see they’re partisan publicists for a particular party and a particular radical left-wing of that party.  Study after study shows the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media are perceived by the public as advocates whose left-wing agenda is self-serving and deceptive.  Instead of the fourth branch of government, honest brokers working to keep the public informed, they’ve degenerated into craven corporate cheerleaders for Progressivism.

Ever since Walter Cronkite denounced America’s commitment in Vietnam the corporate media have championed increasingly radical left-wing causes.  They first joined the Democrat Party in all but name.  Then they joined the extreme liberal wing of that Party.  Now they’ve joined the Cavalcade of Czars in the statist campaign to re-make America.

Follow the Leaders: Rush, Glenn and Sarah

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

reagan5By Dr. ROBERT OWENS

As usual it was Rush Limbaugh leading the way.  He was the first political commentator with enough insight and courage to say what so many others were thinking, “I hope he fails.”  If you listen to his program you know that this was immediately and repeatedly expanded to explain that he was referring to the President’s policies.   He even clarified it further by saying, “Hey, I support the president.  I just don’t support his policies.”  He even went so far as to entitle the transcript that refers to these statements, “We Want the President’s Policies to Fail So Everyone Can Succeed.”  Some may still find this shocking; why would anyone hope a brand new president’s policies fail?  The original quote comes from an editorial Rush wrote on the Friday before the inauguration in which he said, “Folks, I do not want what Obama is doing to work.  I don’t want more socialism in America, I don’t want more liberalism.  Liberalism is what’s gotten us to the problems we have now.  Why would I want more of it?  I do not want him to succeed.”  That was way back in January when polls showed that 70% of the American public wanted the new president to succeed.  When many Republican officials eagerly lined up for a few moments of face time to parrot, “I want the president to succeed.”  They were saying the popular thing.  Rush had the courage to swim against the tide and proclaim, “I hope he fails.”
