Iran – Drone – Obama – War Plans?

The Pentagon confirmed today that the drone the Iranian government is the missing US drone. They also confirmed that there were three covert plans to retrieve or destroy the drone.
According to Fox News, Pentagon sources confirmed that Obama rejected all three plans “because he did not want to do anything that could be perceived as an act of war”.
Strange logic when you consider his willingness to remove a sitting Head of State (Gadhafi) without Constitutional authority or Congressional approval/oversight and using drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen without those governments’ sanction. So when he knows that the other side won’t strike back or has limited ability he is the school yard bully, but when faced with an adversary with the ability to bloody his nose, literally and politically he does what most far left politicians do, he sticks his head in the sand and ignores the situation.
The implications resulting from lack of action are serious. Leadership from the Commander In Chief includes the willingness to use the military to protect vital American interests. Preventing Iran from turning over some of the most advanced technology in our military arsenal to China or Russia is of vital American interest, more so than removing a dictator whose only crime was refusing to let Sharia Law rule his nation and wouldn’t sell us his oil.
Watch your local and national news tonight on the broadcast networks and see how in-depth they go with this story.

Corzine Goes To Congress – CBS Fails To Mention Obama Ties
In Wall Street on December 8, 2011 at 8:21 amJon Corzine the ex-CEO of MF Global will testify before Congress today about the missing one billion two hundred thousand dollars of customer funds according to CBS‘ The Early Show.
Corzine the former Democratic Senator and Governor from New Jersey and former CEO of Goldman Sachs has extensive and close ties to the White House. But CBS never mentioned either his political history or his current ties to both President Obama and Vice President Biden.
Both Biden and Obama have praised Corzine and spoken of him in glowing terms for his help in the recession recovery however none of the major news outlets link him to this administration. According to a post in the Daily Caller, Biden said:
“Ladies and gentlemen, the president and I weren’t back there blaming Jon Corzine then,” on a video of a campaign rally, which surfaced in November. “You know what we were doing? We were on the phone calling Jon Corzine — literally. I literally picked up the phone and called Jon Corzine, and said, ‘Jon, what do you think we should do?’
“The reason why we called Jon was because we knew he knew about the economy, about world markets, about how we had to respond, unlike almost anyone we knew … we trusted his judgment.”
Corzine is one more in a long list of culprits not in saving the country from a recession but helping to get us into one. He isn’t expected to say much on the Hill today other than invoking his right refuse to answer on the grounds it might incriminate him.
Call your local network affiliates and ask why they won’t cover the news impartially. Why they leave out pertinent information about the Democrats but never miss a beat when it comes to Conservatives. Demand fair journalism standards.
Payroll Tax Holiday- The Secret Tax on Social Security
In Taxes on December 7, 2011 at 9:30 am

What you aren’t being informed about the payroll tax holiday (temporary) President Obama signed into law last December (2010) is how it raids the trust fund of Social Security. Social Security is the corner-stone of Democratic politics. The proverbial third rail that no one dare touch.
The law reduced workers‘ Social Security taxes by 2%. Workers normally pay 6.2% on earnings, the new legislation made it 4.2%. At the time the White House used an example of a single mother of two with $16,900 in earnings. She saved $28 a month under the Tax Holiday or $338 per year. Now the White House uses the hypothetical employee earning $50,000 a year to scare the public into thinking the average taxpayer will pay $1000 a year more in taxes. Deceptive?
Here is the true deception; according to Senator Jerry Moran (KS) who sits on the Senate Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Committee, that 2% in savings is actually hurting the Social Security Trust Fund by reducing the payments into it by $120 billion dollars (White House numbers). So can they have it both ways?
Funding Social Security now to make sure its there in the future when lower-income workers may really need it or rob Social Security now to pay all workers now for votes in the next election. Isn’t vote-buying illegal?
No compromise, no tax holiday. Where is real tax and entitlement reform and where are the adults we elected to do the right thing, make the tough decisions to get the country back on track? Ask your local news media why they haven’t covered the secret about the Tax Holiday that President Obama is so adamant about getting passed now.
Nancy Pelosi Threatens to Commit Ethics Violation
In Politics on December 6, 2011 at 8:32 amDec. 2, 2011
Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader
“I like Barney Frank’s quote the best, where he said ‘I never thought I’d live such a good life that I would see Newt Gingrich be the nominee of the Republican party,’” Pelosi said in an exclusive interview Friday. “That quote I think spoke for a lot of us.”
Pelosi didn’t go into detail about Gingrich’s past transgressions, but she tipped her hand. “One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich,” Pelosi said. “I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff.”
Pressed for more detail she wouldn’t go further. “Not right here,” Pelosi joked. “When the time’s right.”
Revealing anything investigated by a confidential Ethics Committee investigation would in itself be an ethics violation. Just threatening to share that information might violate Congressional Ethics Rules. Is this proof of how afraid the liberal left is of former Speaker Newt Gingrich. Every time there has been a new front-runner in the GOP race there have been new attacks on that person, with the notable exception of Mitt Romney. Doesn’t this lend credence to the media and the liberal left wanting Romney as the opponent against President Obama? They think they can beat another progressive politician but are afraid of more conservative ones.
Pelosi’ name came up recently in an ABC News investigation on a growing Congressional insider trading scandal where she allegedly received an insider position with a very coveted and hard to get IPO. She has denied the allegation. Seems ethics in Washington are subjective.
Margaret Sanger’s Legacy Lives
In Abortion on December 6, 2011 at 7:58 amThe most recent Guttmacher Institute Policy Review (vol. 11 no.3) shows that the abortion rate for black women is almost five times higher than that of white woman. The Not Ready for Prime Time media never talks about where and why pro-abortion thought comes from. But they should. A fair and honest Fourth Estate would report facts not opinion, so here are some facts.
Based on many of Magaret Sanger’s writings it is well documented that she was an advocate of Eugenics.
“The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” (Women and the New Race, Eugenics Pub. Co.,1920).
“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” Margaret Sanger’s December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon’s Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.
Abortion rights (pro-choice) activists should understand the basis of Planned Parenthood and where modern-day pro-abortion thought comes from. Hailing as a hero of woman’s rights a person with a plan to decimate the “undesirable” population in America is beyond comprehension in an enlightened society. But masking it with politically correct talking points in order to hide the truth is unconscionable.
Whether or not you agree with pro-choice of pro–life it is important to know the history of the subject and think critically about where we are today as a Christian nation in terms of abortion and the public funding of such.

Unemployment Drops to 8.6
In Unemployment on December 2, 2011 at 10:37 amFalling to 8.6 percent in November
the unemployment rate looks like it might be on the right trend, something the Obama White House may exploit as good news. However there is a tough number that they will want to hide and the NRFPT news media won’t report on; 315,000 people stopped bothering to look for employment. The Labor Department when calculating unemployment numbers sees these folks as a group that doesn’t get counted. They simply don’t exist in their world.
Private sector employers added 120,000 jobs last month. With that, the unemployment rate dropped to the lowest level in more than two and a half years.
Good news and bad. Which will you here tonight?
