Roberts Explained...


Roberts took a huge step in putting the government's use of the Commerce Clause to do anything and everying, in its proper place.  He also tee'd up Obamacare as a tax hike for Romney, all he has to do is hit it.

Frustrated?  Tired of hearing about the 'silver lining' in the SCOTUS decision? 

Take the time and READ THIS.

Under our current system, you are penalized for not owning a mortgage.  Mortgage interest is tax deductable.  Without it, or not being in the mortgage market - you pay more taxes.  I recognize this is different, but that is what Roberts is saying - congresss (whom the people chose) came up with a creative way of taxing us.  Roberts (correctly) says, it is not the Supreme Court's job to fix our elections.  It is our job, and we are getting what we paid for.



It won't be easy - the mainstream media will not report the truth, the President will continue to mischaracterize his intentions, and his results - but this was not the worst that could happen, by far.

Bait and Switch...

It's not a tax, the President said so.  He is smart.

Facts are Stubborn Things...

A police officer who works for a federal violent crimes task force asked me the other day, "What is this thing about Obama and guns, or something?"  I replied, "You mean Fast and Furious?"  He answered, "I don't know, Obama and guns or something?"  That officer's task force...includes the ATF.

Why are we not surprised that the American public is not aware of this?

[I don't know why, when people make these videos, they add vintage 80's instrumental soundtracks?]




1:57  Miller claims Attorney General Holder said, "These tactics (gun walking), if they've been employed, are illigetimate tactics, they shouldn't happen."

Gun walking is dangerous, but it is an approved method, and in order to let a gun walk for investigative purposes, an agent in the field needs approval.  Operation Fast and Furious sought, and received that approval.  It wasn't the first, but it was probably the largest such operation - I would find it odd that Holder was shocked in 2011 to hear that he or his Deputies had signed off on this.  Especially since Fast and Furious was an OCDETF case that included wiretaps?  Both require AG or Deputy AG approval.

2:36  "...this was a field level operation that happened in Arizona." 

"Field level" operations that include wiretaps, need Attorney General approval.  The AG (or Deputy) signs off on the affidavit to the court, after the local United States Attorney, the requesting agency (Special Agent in Charge, and/or Director) and the DOJ's Office of Enforcement Operations (OEO).  OEO scrutinizes every investigative technique used prior to requesting a wiretap.

2:44  "...guns were allowed to walk, something that is not a legitamate law enforcement tactic...and if he had known...he (Holder) would have stopped it."

He tries several times to blame the "Bush Administration." Ignoring that this took place under Holder.

3:43  "...people at the ATF and the people at the US Attorney's Office in Arizona have said that they didn't brief officials in Washington.  And that's really unfortunate because I think it might have been stopped earlier."

Once again - not true.  Read this.  While I do believe that the AG and his deputies rubber stamp these - the reason their signature is required, is that they AUTHORIZE and therefore ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY.

Socialist Ed Shultz - hit the right questions afterwards, but didn't follow up. Miller can say these things on Shultz's show, but would he under oath?

Let's Go Fishing...

...on an expedition!



The email in question MENTIONS Operation Fast and Furious.  Holder tries to say it was about Operation Wide Receiver, which took place during the Bush administration.  The email asks if Lanny Breuer should do press about a 'significant amount of prosecutions' - nobody was prosecuted under Operation Wide Receiver during the Bush administration, because the Assistant United States Attorney's declined prosecution - they didn't like the idea of the guns walking.

So, the Bush administration gets dragged in by Holder (and the main stream media) at every chance, but the facts are - Operation Wide Receiver was an ATF operation that the DOJ did not want to touch.

[Note at :37 in the video, the smirks on Holder's staffers faces - they thought they caught the congressman.  These are not serious people.]

Unfair...

Duluth, Minnesota...hates themselves.  The population is 90% white, so in order to attract a more diverse population, they have decided to advertise, "C'mon over to Duluth, we're white, but we hate ourselves, and you can too!"  I'm paraphrasing.  Billboards around the city, and the below PSA - are sponsored by the City of Duluth, the University of Minnesota-Duluth, the NAACP, League of Women Voters and the YWCA.

They have discovered, that just BEING white, makes you racist.  And living in Duluth, makes you stupid.  Didn't their parents ever tell them not to draw on themselves?




Q:  What do you call a person who lived in Duluth before the influx of non-self-hating-white-people comes?

A:  AntiDuluthian.

Executive Privilege...

Where is the Main Stream Media? (I know, I know, but we should keep saying it). Executive Privilege is open to interpretation. However, it should be clear that it protects the separation of powers, and the Executive's ability to conduct private business. Congress has oversight over the Department of Justice (Executive Branch) and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.

The ONLY way Executive Privilege protects the documents regarding Operation Fast and Furious - is if the President is involved.  So far, the buck went as far as United States Attorney Dennis K. Burke - who approved the policy of letting guns 'walk.'  Burke also admitted leaking information about a BATF 'Whistle Blower.'

Burke resigned.  He appeared ready to be the fall guy - then WHY is the White House not letting him take the fall?  Why is the White House using Executive Privilege to protect the documents?

I am one of those who did (does) not believe this rose to the Attorney General, and definitely not to the President...but higher than Burke.  Then why would Obama risk so much on this?  If this was a 'fishing expedition' as the Democrats love to say - then they just snagged something big...
