		<description><![CDATA[<p>Barack Obama and the Democrat Party are presiding over an unprecedented and dangerous transformation of our country and the main stream press and media seem completely oblivious. Rule of Law, acts of decency and respect for the rights of others are being usurped by marauding mobs of Occupy Wall Street demonstrators. Our streets and cities are being victimized by a conglomeration of revolutionaries, anarchists and communists bent on destroying our country and substituting leftist controls and leadership.</p>
<p>They incorporate violence and chaos, destroy public and private property, firebomb and attack police and cost taxpayers millions while promoting Class Warfare, anti-Capitalism and masquerading as representing 99% of the people. While most Americans consider such acts, including deliberate desecration of our flag repulsive, our President and his Party stand mute and unwilling to oppose or criticize these despicable acts.</p>
<p>They even ignore blatant expressions of bigotry and anti-Semitism by protestors that blame ”Judeo-Capitalists” and “Zionist Jews” for our economic quagmire. They overlook statements blaming Jewish businessmen and bankers rather than incompetence of their own Administration for ineffective government policies.</p>
<p>The reason why President Obama and Democrats ignore these radical activities is clear. Occupy Wall Street will play an integral part of their re-election campaign. His eventual opponent will have to endure busloads of O.W.S. demonstrators specifically trained to disrupt all rallies, public meetings and campaign promotions. This will insure press coverage and media reports that concentrate on those protesting rather than criticism of the President.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>While all Americans have been victimized by the Obama Presidency, elderly and disabled have been impacted the most. A failed economic policy, including negligible interest rates, harms those relying on fixed incomes and revenue generated by life’s savings and retirement investments.<br />
     The Obama Administration withheld Social Security cost of living adjustments while increasing deductions for Medicare Part B premiums. A nationwide housing crisis depreciated home values and inflation increased costs of most foods, clothing and  services. A misguided energy policy influenced by environmental extremism has gasoline approaching $4.00 per gallon and home heating, cooling  and electrical energy bills soaring.<br />
     Commencing in 2013, Barack Obama’s Health Care Reform Act will adversely impact all, especially, seniors. For the first time, an American President is calling for $500 billion reduction in Medicare and $40 billion slash in Assisted Living and Nursing Home subsidies.  Health care professionals anticipate seniors will experience reduced medical care and rationing of services due to Obamacare and doctor shortages.<br />
     The legislation will also impact home sales by imposing a 3.8% tax on all real estate transactions. Additional new taxes include 1% on all bank transactions including deposits and withdrawals, direct deposit of Social Security and pension checks and tax refunds.<br />
     For those requiring branded drugs and medical devises such as walkers, wheelchairs, heart stints, pacemakers and other aides a new tax of 2.9% will prevail. These are attacks on all but, especially, America’s elderly. Hopefully, a change in Washington will be more senior friendly.</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Over 50 years ago, a William Hearst newspaper columnist authored an explanation of what constitutes a Conservative and it remains valid today.</p>
<p>“A Conservative is one who believes the trials and errors of civilization, the risks and gains in history have produced a body of experience from which it is unwise to depart rapidly. Therefore, he or she conserves the best part of human experience, not expecting the world can be changed in a lifetime. He or she is not a preserver of ancient forms but a conservator of that which has proven to be beneficial.</p>
<p>Generally, he or she accepts certain absolutes; in religion, for instance, God; in biology, that humans are created beings; in philosophy, that people desire and accept free will; in economics, Capitalism; in politics they believe in the right of people to choose their own government but, they do not believe government is all wise, all-competent or should be all-powerful.”</p>
<p>Our Presidential election will contrast political, social and economic values. An expensive campaign will try to discredit and demonize Barack Obama’s eventual opponent and Conservatives. They will be criticized, marginalized and denounced with epithets like extremist, radical, anti-poor, pro-wealthy, anti-immigrant and obstructionist.</p>
<p>But, if three years of Obama’s “hope and change” and liberalism is so wonderful, why is there still record unemployment, home foreclosures, higher gasoline and energy costs, record debt and deficits, more requiring food stamps and government handouts, greater controls, omnipotent regulations and America’s future in doubt?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Conservatives have missed the boat.  They are blind and stupid. The main stream media, including John King and Wolf Blitzer last night, were successful in keeping the name of Barack Obama and any of his actions, decisions or policies out of the discussion for almost half of the two hour debate. As long as they deliberately encouraged each candidate  to criticize the other, Obama&#8217;s three year record of a failed economy and Socialist policies were immune from discussion or criticism.</p>
<p>Debates moderated by leftists are a function of the Chicago  Obama campaign strategy. If Republicans are trapped into 2 or 3 similar debates during the general elcction the same protect  Obama formats will be repeated. They will center on the Republican candidate, his questionable background, finances and the stupidity of asking which wife would make a better First Lady.  Obama will laugh all the way to four more years of destroying our country. Why is it that Democrats are smarter and more clever politicians? Wake up before it is too late&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Should our President allow environmental lobbyists influence or dictate this Nation’s energy policy? That occurred when Barack Obama rejected construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Texas oil refineries.</p>
<p>Doing so, severely compromised our Country’s national security and economic viability. Ignored, were three years of intensive and comprehensive studies, enormous public input and environmental impact approvals. Both critical job creation and energy independence were sacrificed in a indefensible decision that mirrored his gambling and squandering millions of taxpayer dollars on Solyndra and other failed solar companies,. America cannot afford a national energy policy reliant on inefficient solar panels and 17<sup>th</sup> century windmills to generate 21<sup>st</sup> century power needs.</p>
<p>The 1661 mile Keystone project would create thousands of jobs for surveyors, civil and electrical engineers, light and heavy construction workers, pipe fitters and electricians. Industries benefiting would include construction equipment plants, pipe foundries, and electrical wiring and controls manufacturers.</p>
<p>The proposed pipeline provided Obama with a decision indicating his seriousness in encouraging job creation and energy independence. Either, obtain 700,000 barrels of oil each day from Canada, a friendly neighbor and create thousands of jobs at the same time or, continue to pay $1,000,000 a day for oil from OPEC and anti- American Arab dictators and see Canada’s oil shipped to China.</p>
<p>With gasoline prices approaching $4.00 per gallon and home-heating oil and energy costs escalating, Obama’s decision was a “no brainer”. Siding with environmental extremists is why America needs new leadership.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>     One can see from my previous postings I&#8217;m a Conservative and have been so since 1950 and before it was acceptable. I was one of the founders of the New York State Conservative Party in 1962, have had published over 500 conservative articles and letters and authored the book, &#8220;More Than a Conservative&#8221;.</p>
<p>     But I&#8217;m sick over what Conservatives are doing to guarantee Obama a second term. It seems like a scorched earth policy that says, if it can&#8217;t be a recognized Conservative Republican now competing for the nomination, America would be better off with a left wing Muslim traitor. That is absolutely stupid. No, Mitt Romney is not Ronald Reagan and unfortunately, we can&#8217;t clone him. I recognize that and most right thinking Americans agree.</p>
<p>     But to so destroy Romney&#8217;s chances by, of all things, using leftist anti-Capitalist charges to weaken him is doing a diservice to all Americans and the Conservative cause. If this campaign fails and a weakened Romney is the Republican candidate we will have to endure four more years of Socialist propaganda and our Nation&#8217;s downfall.</p>
<p>     Can you just image how happy Obama&#8217;s Chicago headquarters must be watching this circus? Let&#8217;s come to our senses. The Conservative choices are not going to win the Republican nomination. More than likely, it will be Romney. We can play an important roll by encouraging  a Conservative running mate and both Senate and Congress. That&#8217;s the best way to insure a Conservative Republican Administration.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>How will President Obama defend America’s failure under his leadership? Can he express pride over record unemployment and home foreclosures? Do citizens approve multi-trillion dollar deficits, a failed energy policy, government takeover of our health industry and job-killing rules and regulations? How can he possibly praise loss of international respect and prestige plus a derisive attitude towards Israel?</p>
<p>Defending such a dismal record is impossible, therefore, he will ignore intelligent discussion of America’s problems and possible solutions. Instead, his Chicago-based headquarters will utilize three major strategies against his opponent, destruction, disruption and deception, all designed to limit criticism of Obama by keeping his adversary on the defensive.</p>
<p>Destruction will include a relentless effort in character assassination. His opponent will be depicted as extreme, radical, pro-rich, anti-poor, a Tea Party terrorist, heartless and tool of Wall Street. A pro-Obama, sympathetic press and media will eagerly echo similar charges and insinuations.</p>
<p>Disruption was tested during Republican primaries and will continue. Pro-Obama professional hecklers, pickets or Occupy Wall Street demonstrators will be dispatched to rallies and meetings to deny his opponent free speech, create disorder and insure press coverage concentrates on their vocal opposition and dissent rather than criticism of Obama.</p>
<p>Finally, deception will involve repeating the 2008 policy of fraudulent voter enrollment by Acorn and pro-Obama groups intent on maximizing support by those ineligible to vote. Hopefully, Americans will ignore these strategies and take back our beautiful country for their children and grandchildren.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>To satisfy a Green Energy, anti-fossil fuel obsession Barack Obama instituted policies and regulations leading to higher oil, gas and energy costs. He hoped this would convince Americans to shift from gasoline powered to smaller, limited range electric vehicles.</p>
<p>As a result, home and business energy costs have increased, oil has doubled in price and gasoline risen from $1.65/gal. when Obama assumed office to $3.00/gal. and higher. This energy policy costs American families over $4,000 yearly to operate vehicles and compromises food costs when corn-based ethanol is used as a gasoline additive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To satisfy a Green Energy, anti-fossil fuel obsession Barack Obama instituted policies and regulations leading to higher oil, gas and energy costs. He hoped this would convince Americans to shift from gasoline powered to smaller, limited range electric vehicles.</p>
<p>As a result, home and business energy costs have increased, oil has doubled in price and gasoline risen from $1.65/gal. when Obama assumed office to $3.00/gal. and higher. This energy policy costs American families over $4,000 yearly to operate vehicles and compromises food costs when corn-based ethanol is used as a gasoline additive.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Our Presidential election should include intelligent, meaningful discussions of why America faces economic disaster and possible financial insolvency. We should be hearing recommendations on how to restore this nation’s greatness. Instead, we can expect a billion dollar campaign featuring character assassination, the blame game, scare tactics and class warfare. Augmenting this will be a pro-Obama press and communications media guaranteed to ignore his questionable accomplishments and lack of leadership.</p>
<p>His eventual opponent will be ridiculed with terms like radical, extremist, domestic terrorist and flip-flopper, all charges tried and tested by Obama’s Chicago campaign headquarters during the primary and echoed by a sympathetic mainstream media.</p>
<p>The fact that Obama must defend a record of broken promises, failures and lack of leadership suggests a unique campaign ahead. Overlooked will be discussion of the economy, out of control Federal spending, huge deficits, lingering record unemployment and concerns of the middle class. In its place, his “dependency” strategy will target seniors, minorities, those dependant on government and an estimated 47% of Americans who pay no Federal Income Taxes.</p>
<p>Obama’s opponent will be depicted as favoring the wealthy, having no heart, forsaking the elderly and those who enjoy government assistance for housing, food, clothing and medical needs. Obama and Democrats will be portrayed as caring protectors of their interests. Whether this will be considered scare tactics or class warfare ignores the fact it is deceitful and dishonest. Hopefully, Americas will reject this example of “Hope and Change”.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>     Barack Obama wants Jewish voters to overlook three years of  snubs, insults and treating Israel as our enemy rather than loyal friend and ally. We should forget that when Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, first visited the White House he was secretly ushered in via a back door. There were no cameras, no press and no usual public handshake. When Palestinian representatives visited, it was public, photographed and the handshake televised world-wide.<br />
     He wants us to ignore his foreign policy recommendation that Israel return to 1967 borders and offer unilateral concessions to those who refuse to recognize the country  exists. While this decision pleased Holocaust denier Mahmoud Ahmadinajad,  Israel’s Prime Minister said Obama’s proposal would make the small nation “indefensible”.<br />
     It would deny world-wide Jews access to their holiest site, the Western Wall of Jerusalem. It would reward the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas and require return of the Golan Heights to Syria, a state sponsor of terrorism.<br />
     Obama’s foreign policy decision encouraged anti-Semitic fervor world-wide and, especially, among Arab countries. It was also evident within the United States by Occupy Wall Street demonstrators who expressed their anti-Semitism in statements and signs blaming “Judeo-Capitalists” and “Zionist Jews” for America’s present economic plight. Ironically, the President expressed support for the demonstrators and ignored their expressions of bigotry. For him to now go around the country promoting a strong record of support for Israel in order to solidify Jewish support is the height of chutzpah.</p>
