Army hiding truth on Ft Hood murders: in 86 pages of lies no mention of an Islamist terror attack!

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

We could see this coming. This is a naked cover up.

We should have known we would get run around on the Ft. Hood murders when the White House started stonewalling immediately. House Republicans tried to force Obama’s hand and make him release the preliminary findings on the slaughter, but Muslim brothers apparently stick together.

In mid December the ranking Republican member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), accused the Obama Administration of purposely stonewalling his Committee’s efforts to get the truth, so it could start finding ways to protect us from future Islamist attacks.
Apparently the murder of 13 people and the wounding of another 30 at Fort Hood last November mean little to Barack Obama. This week the Army released its 86 page report on the attack without using the word “Islamist” or “Islam” or “Muslim” an insult to all Americans.

Anyone over 8 years old knows an Islamist terrorist named Nidal Malik Hasan chanting “Allahu akbar!” “God is great!”(the terrorists’ war cry) waded through hundreds of unarmed and defenseless soldiers and civilian shooting killing and maiming dozens of them.
News reports about these murders have always been clear about it being a terrorist attack having EVERYTHING to do with Hasan’s ethnicity and particular brand of Islam. This is why the Army’s latest report is so disturbing.

Political Correctness suicide

John Lehman, of the 9/11 commission says the Pentagon’s lies about who committed this attack and why, “shows you how deeply entrenched the values of political correctness have become. It’s definitely getting worse, and is now so ingrained that people no longer smirk when it happens.”

If the Obama Administration can’t even say the word “Islam” how can we rely on our government to protect us from Islamist terror?

Fighting for the life of our country

The heavy handed lying about Hasan’s Islamist motivations leaves the logical conclusion that the Army investigators are either too stupid too devious or too intimidated to conclude the real motive for the slaughter was his hatred for America.

In any event, the authors of this ridiculous report seem to be devoid of even a basic sense of curiosity. Either way we have to demand that this report be scrapped, some heads roll and a new actually truthful document be produced forthwith.

Keep an eye on this issue. The Democrats are trying to help Obama hide the truth about Hasan and we can’t let that happen.

What did you do to defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today and what do you plan to do tomorrow?

New Wenzel Report sees the Republican Wave washing over Ohio

By Fritz Wenzel

The latest Wenzel Strategies polling shows the wave of GOP ascendancy that started last year and washed over Democratic strongholds in New Jersey and Massachusetts is now on display in Ohio.

Kasich’s healthy lead

In recent polling, I found that incumbent Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland trails Republican challenger John Kasich by 10 points, 43% to 33%. In prospective U.S. Senate races between Republican Rob Portman, a former Bush cabinet member, and Democrats Lee Fisher and Jennifer Brunner finds Portman leads each by a handful.

A few short months ago, Democrats led in all of these races.
Polling here reveals a national trend, but instead of being a trailing indicator behind New Jersey, Virginia, and Massachusetts, Ohio has actually been leading the way. We saw softness in support for Ohio Democrats last summer. While voters in Massachusetts were telling pollsters the biggest issue – far and away – is national health care reform, the discontent in Ohio runs far deeper. In truth, it never left after Ohioans tossed Republicans from office in 2006.

Voters here are upset about the languishing economy. Despite political promises, Ohio’s economy has never really come back from the recession a decade ago.
So the question is can Ohio Democrats regain control of their own destiny before November? The honest answer is – probably not. So much of national – and Ohio – politics the last five years has been based on a campaign slogan that could best be described as: “Vote for Us – we’re not as bad as the other guys!” While that can get you elected in a negative political atmosphere, it seldom gets you re-elected – a lesson Ohio Democrats appear poised to learn the hard way.

Ohio: the bellwether state

Ohio has long been considered a bellwether state for politics, largely because the population and geography mimics the country at large. It has several large media markets that are each distinct from each other (Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, etc.), which is to say it has a healthy mix of urban, suburban, and rural voters. Its politics are also similar to the country at large in that it is a center–right state that isn’t afraid to elect Democrats now and again. In fact, right now, all but one of the statewide, non–judicial offices are held by Democrats – which is why Ohioans saw this current political train wreck coming for the Democrats before everyone else.

The state has suffered with a bad economy not for just one year, like most of the rest of the country, but rather for several years. In many ways Ohio has not yet recovered from the recession that started ten years ago next month with the bursting of the technology bubble on Wall Street. So after Democrat Ted Strickland was elected in 2006 on a promise of change and hope for a better state economy, he was setting himself up for some tough sledding – just as President Obama has faced on a national scale.

The Ohio economy has worsened not improved under Strickland, and voters have been discontented with him for years now. So Ohio had already been suffering under Democratic political leadership when Obama was elected. It is no surprise then that the state led the nation is its desire for change, and it is no surprise that today Republicans lead in the key statewide Ohio races. So while Virginia, New Jersey, and now Massachusetts have all had their turns at rejecting Democrats – and the Obama agenda – my poll numbers show Ohioans are poised to do the same later this year.

Brown wins! Let’s roll up our sleeves get to work and put a stake in the heart of Democrat socialism

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Scott Brown’s huge victory in Massachusetts brings us to a serious question: Where do we go next? With no national battle on the horizon, now it’s time to roll up our sleeves and fight for the life of our country in our own home districts.

What you can do

First contact your local Republican County Committee join up and get active. You’ll probably be welcomed and given an assignment as a District Captain. Take it, but don’t stop there. Get on the County Committee’s subcommittee to select your nominee for Congress.

If you have to, be tough, be demanding and don’t allow the committee to settle for any candidate who is not a strong conservative.
Remember this election cycle is an EMPLOYERS market.

We can’t let this opportunity die

In many districts we will be able to win easily, but winning is just not enough. We have to demand our nominees are strong reliable conservatives. We must not allow the party hacks who run many of our County Committees to pick a series of Scozzafava like RINOs. They will be deadly to our new Conservative Revolution.

A target rich environment: soft Democrat incumbents

There two nonpartisan political analysts whose reports have identified a number of weak Democrats across the country. Stuart Rothenberg and Charlie Cook both agree on these prime Democrat targets but there’ll be more because of Brown’s victory.

If you’re in one of these districts you know what to do.

Bright Al 2, Markey Co 4, Grayson Fl 8, Minnick Id 1, Kratovil Md 1, Childers Ms 1, OPEN NH 1, Driehaus Oh 1, Kilroy Oh 15, Sestak Pa 7, Tanner Tn 8, OPEN Wa 3.

Roll up your sleeves and get to work along with the millions of other conservatives that are fighting to save our America.

Our national survival demands on what each of us do

If you aren’t in one of these districts ask your local Committee about how you can help, or find the weak Democrat in a nearby district and be willing to travel to that district if need be. America needs all of us. We have to be willing to ransom back our freedom using our money our work our sweat and our prayers.

In 1775 the Massachusetts colonists stepped up to pay the price for freedom and liberty. Now they have done it again, but we can’t let them stand alone. The price for freedom has to be paid again. Where do you stand?

What did you do to defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today? What will you do tomorrow?

Will 2010 be another 1994? No the indications are it will bring us even more success, here’s why

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

The elements of our big victory in 1994 are largely absent from today’s politics, but this fact bodes even worse for the Democrats. The things that moved conservatives to the polls then seem quaint today. Who among us thinks the House banking scandal even slightly compares to the headlong rush to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, or the feelings of dread we feel from the healthcare scheme?

Notwithstanding the results of today’s special election in Massachusetts, there are more than an a dozen differences between then and now.

*Illegal alien amnesty: there is more resistance to legal and illegal immigration today then when we melted the phones in Washington over it.

*Healthcare is disapproved by huge ratios, and has ignited street rallies that never happened in 1994.

*Global Warming is being seen as the hoax it is and Democrat support for it taints them.

*There was no such thing as a TEA Party in 1994.

*The internet is stronger more able to deliver more truth than ever before and serves as the modern town square for Americans to gather in.

*The House Banking Scandal is almost laughable compared to what has conservatives motivated today.

* In 1994 the Congress dealt with “pothole” issues compared to the alarmingly intrusive plans Congress has today.

*Today’s impetus for action is coming from the bottom up. There isn’t even a “Contract with America” on the table and GOP leadership is nonexistent.

* The atmosphere has grown so toxic that states are reminding the Congress that they will exercise their Tenth Amendment rights and resist the unwanted changes Congress is trying to force on America.

* Unlike 1994 when people voted thinking they want change from forty years of Democrat rule, today’s voters are motivated by fear for the very survival of our country.

* Voters are looking past party labels and voting for those whom they see as willing to stand and fight for America. This is a death sentence for many Democrats because they universally line up against what Americans see as patriotism.

* People who have never stepped up to fight for America are infuriated and itching for the chance to fight. The enthusiasm is all on the GOP side.

* Self identification as Conservative is at an all time high of 40% and the generic ballot lead for Republicans is record high at 9 points.

* Seniors have largely abandoned the Democrats and are against their central issue of healthcare by 2 to 1.

* Never before has the United States Government nationalized Banks Car Companies and school loan institutions.

Brown’s win in Massachusetts will be a huge victory but just the start of the fight. The people we hear on radio and television, the people we read each day are not easily going to say what we know. They are afraid that if by some strange occurrence conservatives don’t win in November they will look foolish for ever having said we would. They have reputations to keep up. They will stay a good safe distance behind our line of march, that’s the nature of their business and this will never chance. Don’t be swayed by their commercial pessimism. Keep working hard. Find others to join with and don’t stop pushing. America herself is on the line.

What did you do to defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today? What will you do tomorrow?

The Baltimore vs. Wells Fargo shakedown lawsuit proves Black race hustlers will never be appeased

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Chalk one up for Lady Justice with the decision of a Baltimore federal court judge to toss out a bogus lawsuit brought by the city’s convicted thief Mayor, Sheila Dixon. The City’s Chief Executive, who was convicted last month of stealing gift cards she solicited from “a wealthy developer”, pressed forward with her ridiculous lawsuit alleging Wells Fargo “triggered millions of dollars in damages… by causing increased foreclosures through racist predatory lending.”

In making his ruling, U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz said, “The alleged connection is even more implausible when considered against the background of other factors leading to the deterioration of the inner city… extensive unemployment, lack of educational opportunity and choice, irresponsible parenting, disrespect for the law, widespread drug use, and violence.”

Reverse redlining and the REAL reason Baltimore sued

Bathed in the stench of a typically poorly run Democrat controlled city, (Baltimore has had a Republican mayor for just 8 of the last 79 years) the city brought the first of its kind “reverse redlining” suit in January 2008. Its filing it alleged Wells Fargo, “targeted minority borrowers for bad loans – an illegal practice known as “reverse redlining” – which allegedly led to defaults and a disproportionately high rate of foreclosures and vacancies in black or Latino neighborhoods.”

As described by STEVE H. HANKE and STEPHEN J.K. WALTERS, Baltimore based Economics Professors, b y the end of 2007, the city’s burdensome taxes had placed it in a serious financial decline. It is therefore little wonder that Judge Motz accepted Wells Fargo’s accusation that the suit was merely a way for a cash strapped Baltimore to raise some badly needed cash.

This is another example of the destructive consequences of continuous Democrat Party rule. Will the Democrat rank and file ever awake to reality? Not likely.

Housing crash

We are just now starting to feel the worst of what will surely be a terrible beating brought on by Liberal Democrats like Andrew Cuomo during his tenure as HUD Secretary under Clinton. Using a technique he has since elevated to a black art, Cuomo threaten lending institutions into increasing the percentage of bad loans they were making from a barely survivable 42% to 50% which has proved to be the knockout punch to our economy.
This Fannie and Freddie mess is a pure 100% Democrat produced disaster. If there was one single Republican the Democrats could POSSIBLY include in their guilt you can be certain we would know that person’s name. The Clintons wanted to flog lenders into making as many loans to as many minority applicants as possible and whether they were qualified or not meant nothing. Until now Democrats haven’t care about the consequences because they always find a way to escape from them. It’s up to us to see that they are made to pay for this one, next November.
What did you do yesterday to defend American freedoms; what will you do today; what do you plan to do tomorrow? Plan on fighting back or plan on being a slave. The choice is yours.

Starving the homeless into a healthy death and making sure they’re buried in genuine designer jeans

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

These are New York City stories but they could be from any liberal run American city.

Better to die of starvation than live hypertensive

New York’s Mayor is not officially a liberal Democrat, but “ a rose by any other name.. applies. His dream is constructing the ultimate Nanny State where all are equally destitute, receive equal if substandard healthcare and totally rely on the state for all our material benefits.
Fortunately most New Yorkers don’t need this progressive “generosity”, because those who do are treated to a special level of paternalistic contempt anyone with the wherewithal to escape would turn and run from.
New York has some of the finest eateries in the world. The generosity of these establishments is legendary. Nevertheless each day much of the excess food they donate to New York City food pantries for the homeless is accepted then tossed in a dumpster before the delivery truck pulls away! Why? Because the rich food from these great restaurants contains trans fats that could possibly “kill” those who eat it by causing hypertension!
A well dressed corpse cheers their liberal hearts
Each month NYC PD officers, oversee the shredding of tractor-trailers full of counterfeit clothing confiscated from illegal street venders.
These loads include tons of well crafted but “knock-off” outer and under garments. There is never any thought to finding a way to “legally” redistribute the donated food, or clothes to the desperately poor and displaced of New York, Haiti or anywhere else.
Bowing to political correctness always means more to liberals then feeding and clothing the destitute. Doesn’t common decency suggest we ship material to our brothers and sisters in Haiti? Surely they won’t be offended by “fake” BVDs or the food from a Park Avenue restaurant “tainted” by trans fat rich hollandaise source.

Haiti needs our help
The devastation in Haiti is weeks from being fully understood. The suffering for those who have somehow survived is just beginning. As the greatest most generous people in the world we common average Americans have to step up and help these poor people in their hour of desperate need. Please do whatever you can to help in every way possible. If you can’t send money, send God your prayers on their behalf.
What did you do yesterday to defend American freedoms? What will you do today and tomorrow to help us remain free?

Afgahnistan: Rules of Engagement that can only lose a war and Obama knows it.

By Suzanne Eovaldi

The ubiquitous yellow jugs joined to the hips of Florida pool owners are different icons in Afghanistan. They’re the carriers of fertilizer and diesel fuel terrorists use to blow up our boys with roadside bombs called IED’s. Question: “Was it our general and not our President doing the dithering in the 90 days of contemplation before Obama released 30,000 more of our boys to be fed into the maw of a war we refuse to win?”

In a recent NPR interview Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman (just returned from being “in country,”) told hostess Renee Montagne he observed our Marines tracking “guys” trailing wire under water and another guy carrying a yellow jug at a locale in the Helmand River Valley in southern Afghanistan. Bowman said while watching “live while guys were digging a hole for a roadside bomb. . .there was a guy swimming across a canal with this wire, and the wires are used to detonate the bomb.” This took place near where an IED went off the other day.

When, according to Bowman, our helicopter came in over the activity, its pilot didn’t fire and flew off, guns still cold. Our Marines walked out of their surveillance shack very frustrated after seeing the jug guy toss it into a haystack and merely disappear into the crowd of villagers. Why? Because our new very stringent Rules of Engagement laid down by General McCrystal would not permit our side to take out the potential roadside bombers because of the villagers.

Was McCrystal the hesitant one knowing he’d have to enact these impossible new ROE’s in exchange for more of our boys in a blood for blather contract? In other words, did Obama “give” Afghanistan more troops in exchange for ROE’s more compatible with his far left political base?

Calling it as it is

To me, an English teacher who only has held a gun once, these ROE’s are just plain nuts! Over and over, guys tell me don’t buy yourself a gun for self defense if you won’t fire it! Hello, don’t bring a heavily armed copter to a haystack fight if you won’t fire it! Don’t send our boys into a war that our politicians game for political gain. Don’t let these new cruel ROE’s kill our precious blood!
One source tells me an F 16 pilot routinely is given targets yet told, “If something happens, it’s your fault.” Huh? Another source tells of his son recently returned from a second Iraq tour of duty after having his vehicle hit by a bomb. While this squad leader wasn’t hurt, he and another soldier kept one of their own from bleeding to death while at the same time by following the ROE’s, prevented another innocent Iraqi from being shot. Is this called something like letting our enemy determine the field of battle? I began my college teaching career in front of classrooms of returning Viet Nam vets so stressed and so drugged out they barely could sit still for 50 minutes, let alone read a book. I watched from another classroom window while a war protesting fool streaked buck naked down our commons. If we won’t demand an immediate cease and desist order for these new articles of death, may we, at least, consider demanding a stop to sending an expensive U.S. helicopter piloted by a most highly trained U.S. airman on a fly over in an exercise in futility? Will we let our blood continue to be the first spilled?
Speak out!
What did you do to protect American freedoms yesterday; what will you do tomorrow?

Federal Judges, ignorant of Constitution and case law tell Washington State felony inmates get to vote

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Last week two Federal Judges shows us what we’re fighting against in our battle to restore America to the Land of the Free. They ordered Washington State to allow its prison inmates, murderers rapists arsonists kidnappers and child molesters to vote from their prison cells!
Apparently these two fools don’t understand the Tenth Amendment to our Constitution:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Junk justice
Using gibberish about racial disparity in incarcerations that “cannot be explained in race-neutral ways” these two jerks decided that THEY would put aside the Bill of Rights and erase the rights of states to make their own election laws.
In a 2 to 1 vote the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a 2000 lower court ruling saying these self identified enemies of society don’t have the right to vote, won for us with the blood of American patriots, and found for Muhammad Shabazz Farrakhan the lead plaintiff.
Showing weakness to our enemies
Washington liberals recently changed their law to allow released felony inmates no longer on parole or probation to vote. Now only felons still owing court directed fines and restitution continue to be barred from voting.
That was not enough for the groups that are pressuring states for more felon voting like The Sentencing Project and the ACLU. They’re like rabid dogs that will never stop attacking. Show any weakness and they will jump on it. Now since the state disregarded the evil nature of these people it will have to enter into a costly defense of its actions in a hostile federal court circuit.
Our enemies don’t care about our Constitution: they want what they want: America be damned.
While it is a good bet that this piece of garbage from these fools will be thrown out it is nevertheless instructive. The clear message is that our enemies whether foreign or domestic are ferocious fighters who are well financed and never get tired. We ignore these facts at our own risk. Be part of the answer: get educated, fight back and pray for our country because the devil himself is on the other side trying to destroy our country.

Why Democrats Are Quitting: good numbers, great numbers and fantasic numbers

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

The latest Cook Report has the 13th NY CD a “likely” Democrat hold. As one of the best, Cook knows about politics and elections around the country, but in this prediction he is wrong. The resistance to Freshman Democrat Michael McMahon is enormous, but obviously Cook doesn’t know this. A prediction like this begs the question: If a top firm like Cook is wrong in one district how about all of the others?
Given the following published survey data, the answer is very wrong.
The most reliable measure of what is likely to happen in a coming Congressional election are the “generic ballot” numbers which are derived from the simple question: Regardless of candidates will you be voting Democrat or Republican for Congress?” Democrats so consistently out poll Republicans on this question, that both sides allow a built in two point “handicap” for them. So if the “generic” is -2 for Republicans it is considered a tie.
Since June 28 Rasmussen’s generic ballot numbers have given Republicans at least a +2 over Democrats. In 1994 when Republicans swept to 54 victories and retook the House, the Democrat controlled Congress had an approval rating of 23% and Republicans ended with a final + 6. Today Rasmussen has Republicans +9 and the Congressional approval rating is 27%.
Another ominous indicator of Democrat disaster in November is the huge -20.7 right track/wrong track difference as reported by realclearpolitics.com
Recently the Leftist dailykos.com delivered perhaps the worst news for Democrats in its report on voter intensity – the level of joyful anticipation voters have as they look forward to voting.
The dailykos is saying this is what they found: Democrats are looking forward to voting by 56/40, Independent voters 65/23 but Republican Voters are clawing at the ground to vote by a score of 81/14
Is there any wonder that some incumbent Democrats are retiring and Democrats challenging incumbent Republicans are having second thoughts?

Hope and change WE can believe in is coming. For Republican candidates winning endorsements and ballot lines have suddenly become a buyer’s market. We don’t need any particular person. We know we’re going to win, so we have to be very particular about who carries our label this year. Get involved in your Republican County Committee. Make sure you challenge any notion of a suicidal third party adventure that will only insure the Democrats hold on in November. Make sure you attend Committee meetings especially the ones when candidates are selected. This is your future. If you don’t stand up and fight for your freedom who will stand up for your?

Grayson Is the Left’s Canary in the Coal Mine: the worse it gets for them, the crazier he gets

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Democrat Florida Congressman Alan Grayson the far Left’s hero because he says what they think. In perfect ratio, the worse things get for the Democrats the crazier Grayson gets. He’s the perfect barometer of the Donkey’s troubles. They feel threatened and frustrated about being powerless to stop what’s coming in November so they love Grayson.
The latest example of how threatened Grayson and his cell feel came on the obscure Ed Schultz radio show. Nobody listens to this show so without a mention in Politico we would have missed it. Grayson and Schultz were talking about former Vice President Dick Cheney who alternates with Sarah Palin as the continuing source of nightmares for the Marxists crowd.
Grayson opined he thought Cheney was only interested in selling his new book and this is why he is saying the things he has been saying. As a Marxist Grayson doesn’t understand how Cheney can speak out against Obama’s ineptitude, to him that’s not being a good comrade.
In frustration over the media/Democrat cabal’s inability to shut Cheney up Grayson added “I’m wondering, though, who’s doing the introduction to his book? Is it Mephistopheles? I don’t know — maybe it’s Satan.”
Darling of the Left
In October Grayson told Chris Matthews, another frightened and frustrated Marxist, he thought of Cheney as a vampire “because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking… he’s just angry because the president doesn’t shoot old men in the face. But by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?”
Upon hearing this and still mindful that Grayson also described the GOP healthcare plan as “don’t get sick and die early,” Matthews dubbed Grayson “Captain Cajones” as the sparely watched MSNBC show came to a close.

Grayson is a freshman and is likely to remind a freshman in perpetuity in the records of Congress. He really is their canary in the coal mine and he is screeching out of the fear all sensible Democrats are feeling these days. When he speaks in his childish manner we should take a certain measure satisfaction that we are winning. The Democrat controlled media will keep Baghdad “Bobing” the truth about how bad things are for their party right up to Election Day, but Grayson’s antics will speak volumes of truth.

What did you do to defend American freedoms yesterday, what will you do today?
