FROM A VERY POLITICALLY ASTUTE, INTELLIGENT, LONG-TIME REPUBLICAN ON WHY SHE IS LEAVING THE PARTY (even if Trump gets elected):

Because of people like Paul Ryan, Mike Lee, Mitt Romney, John Thune, etc. all the so-called Republican elites who have never endorsed Donald Trump or who are now fecklessly running away from him.

Because of people like Hugh Hewitt and Condi Rice who have called for him to step down.

Because of the never ending #NeverTrump movement led by so called Republicans and Conservatives.

Because George H. W. Bush has stated he will vote for Hillary.

These are not people I want to be associated with. This is not a Republican Party I want to be a part of.

I’m surprised you even have to ask why.

“It’s the economy, Stupid.”

You might ask, why would anyone believe that anyone can beat the president? The killing of America’s most wanted terrorist three weekends ago produced the predictable spike in the polls. But, for Mr. Obama, predictability is the problem. We have all been that way before. George H.W. Bush won an entire war and saw his numbers go to nearly unanimous approval levels. Yet he lost the next election to a candidate running on the unofficial slogan of “It’s the economy, Stupid.”

"Republican Pros Handicap 2012 Presidential Race" by Clark Judge

Of the last five occupants of the Oval Office, four went to Yale or Harvard. The fifth was Ronald Reagan. Which of the five would you rather be governed by?

The problem with the educational system is that it is a system, and living systems strive to replicate themselves. Each system replication leads to a degradation of integrity and tighter parameters, until eventually you end up with idiots repeating ideas they no longer understand, with their primary goal being to prevent the dissemination of contradictory information and the modeling of obstructive behavior. Tyranny in short.

The Miseducation of America

Victor Hugo: 2/26/1802

"God is behind everything, but everything hides God," wrote Victor Hugo in his classic Les Miserables, Book 5, Chapter 4.

Born FEBRUARY 26, 1802, Victor Marie Hugo was hailed as the greatest of the Romanticists poets. He is best know for writing Cromwell, 1827, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, 1831, and Les Miserables, 1862, an epic story of redemption set in Paris during the French Revolution.

Hugo's father was a general in Napoleon's army and Hugo supported his heir, until he turned out to be a tyrant. Hugo opposed him and was forced into exiled for 19 years. Over 3 million people attended Hugo's funeral in Paris.

In his Preface to Cromwell, 1827, Victor Hugo wrote: "Lastly, this threefold poetry flows from three great sources-The Bible, Homer, Shakespeare...The Bible before the Iliad, the Iliad before Shakespeare." Victor Hugo stated: "England has two books, the Bible and Shakespeare. England made Shakespeare, but the Bible made England."

George H.W. Bush stated at the Dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Dallas, Texas, November 11, 1989: "Victor Hugo said 'Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.' Well, my fellow veterans, the idea is democracy."

The Uniform Holiday Bill

The Uniform Holiday Bill, signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968, moved the celebration of George Washington's Birthday to the third Monday in FEBRUARY. Sometime after this, with Lincoln's birthday also being in the month of February, people began referring to the holiday as "Presidents' Day."

Of note is that Presidential tradition is to swear into office with a hand upon the Bible, end the oath of office with "So help me God" and acknowledged a Supreme Being in the Inaugural Address. Eisenhower, Reagan and George H.W. Bush also included prayers.

President Eisenhower began his Inaugural Address in 1953: "My friends, before I begin...would you permit me the privilege of uttering a little private prayer of my own. And I ask that you bow your heads. Almighty God, as we stand here at this moment..."

In 1985, Ronald Reagan began his Inaugural Address: "I wonder if we could all join in a moment of silent prayer..."

George H.W. Bush began his Inaugural Address, 1989, saying: "My first act as President is a prayer. I ask you to bow your heads. Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your love...Make us strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will..."

American Minute with Bill Federer

Possible Obama appointee say bin Laden is "a very honored name!"

Remember all the flap about Bush 43 flying the bin Ladens out of the country after 9/11? Well, Richard Clark ordered that and it was done AFTER airspace had been opened up again...but everyone needs to know what this man has done because it has implications that go WAY beyond what all those Bush-haters were screaming about. This is the second article I've posted on this topic because this one has even more very damaging information about this man (who, as the previous article mentioned, contributed to Obama's campaign).

Chas Freeman's proposed appointment to head the National Intelligence Council is already getting lots of scrutiny. A former Saudi lobbyist who did business with the Bin Laden group, Chas Freeman has naturally spewed more than his share of bile toward Israel, and toadying toward the Saudi kingdom.

After 9/11, Chas Freeman sought to do business with the Bin Laden group and responded to critics by saying that Bin Laden was still “a very honored name in the kingdom [of Saudi Arabia]".

...but wait, there's more!

The shocking truth about the U.S. Military!

Did you know?

The annual fatalities, by any cause, of military members while actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2007:

1980____2,392 (Carter)
1981____2,380 (Reagan)
1984____1,999 (Reagan)
1988____1,819 (Reagan)
1989____1,636 (George H W)
1990____1,508 (George H W)
1991____1,787 (George H W)
1992____1,293 (George H W)
1993____1,213 (Clinton)
1994____1,075 (Clinton)
1995____2,465 (Clinton)
1996____2,318 (Clinton)
1997____0,817 (Clinton)
1998____2,252 (Clinton)
1999____1,984 (Clinton)
2000____1,983 (Clinton)
2001____0,890 (George W)
2002____1,007 (George W)
2003____1,410 (George W)
2004____1,887 (George W)
2005____0,919 (George W)
2006____0,920 (George W)
2007____0,899 (George W)

Clinton years (1993-2000): 14,107 deaths

George W years (2001-2007): 7,932 deaths

Are you surprised when you look at these figures? They indicate the loss from the two latest Middle East conflicts are less than the loss of military personnel during Clinton's presidency when America wasn't even involved in a war--unless you include Bosnia and Mogadishu, Somalia. (Remember Black Hawk Down?) Even more surprising is that in 1980, during Carter presidency, there were 2,392 US military fatalities!

These figures appear to indicate many members of our media and politicians pick and choose the information on which they report--that they present only those "facts" that support their agenda. (Oh, Gosh, Do you think?)

Consider the latest census of Americans. It shows the following distribution of American citizens by race:

European descent 69.12 percent
Hispanic 12.50 percent
Black 12.30 percent
Asian 3.70 percent
Native American 1.00 percent
Other 2.60 percent

Many members of the media lead us to believe the military death ratio is off balanced compared to the distribution by race in America. Here are the fatalities by race over the past three years in Iraqi Freedom:

European descent 74.31 percent
Hispanic 10.74 percent
Black 9.67 percent
Asian 1.81 percent
Native American 1.09 percent
Other 0.33 percent

Surprised again?
