America’s enemies are watching. They can count our troops, our planes, and our ships. They can look on as America’s military retreats and loses its ability to project forces around the world. And they will quickly realize that the United States will not be able to cover its responsibilities worldwide. That is an invitation for the sort of security threats America cannot afford — and they are threats that America may not be able to respond to with its stripped-down military.
» Liberal Democrats say Pentagon spending cuts should be doubled
The Tiahrt Amendment refers to a series of amendments to spending bills every year, …. restricting the release of firearms trace data to law enforcement agencies only, and only as part of criminal investigations. Lifting this restriction has been a huge priority of the Brady Campaign, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and every other “gun control” group, because the amendment makes suing the gun industry out of existence much more difficult.

In spite of a multidecade international campaign to enforce the message that increasing amounts of the “pollutant” carbon dioxide will destroy civilization, large numbers of scientists, many very prominent, share the opinions of Dr. Giaever. And the number of scientific “heretics” is growing with each passing year. The reason is a collection of stubborn scientific facts.
….
Although the number of publicly dissenting scientists is growing, many young scientists furtively say that while they also have serious doubts about the global-warming message, they are afraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted—or worse.
» Major Scientists Confirm: Global Warming Panic Is a Hoax
Major kudos to Rick Santorum, who capped a stellar debate performance last night with the unequivocal statement that global warming is a hoax. You will not hear this bold truth from his Big Government adversaries Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, both of whom can be expected to play along with this crippling swindle, exploiting it to increase the size and power of the state — despite growing awareness that it is a crock, as confirmed in an op-ed cowritten by 16 prominent scientists
… a state-level response to constitutional violations by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA) – primarily provisions that authorize indefinite detention.

This is a good first step.
It is a good symbol.
I must rain on it though, by saying that by denying Virginia any type of FedGov funds, the feds will end this fight before it begins.
» ‘Kill me if you can, suckers!’ Death row inmate sends taunting letter boasting about luxurious prison life
A death row inmate sent a letter to a local North Carolina newspaper boasting about the “life of leisure” he is living while waiting for his execution.
“Is the public aware that the chances of my lawful murder taking place in the next 20 years if ever are very slim?” Danny Robbie Hembree Jr. wrote in a letter from jail.
Hembree, 50, was found guilty of killing a 17-year-old girl in 2009.

» Muslim community rallies after murder plot alleged
Dozens of people from the Triangle’s Islamic community plan a show of support in Wilmington on Friday when two people have a federal court hearing on charges that they tried to hire someone to kill witnesses in a terrorism trial.
….
Hysen Sherifi met with his brother and Elshiekh several times in recent weeks at the New Hanover County jail, where he is incarcerated, and arranged to have three witnesses who testified during his trial last fall killed …. He demanded that the witnesses be beheaded and that pictures be taken of their corpses to prove they had been killed, the court document states. He also wanted a fellow inmate who he thought had tricked him out of some money to be killed.
With the Syrians gone and the PLO living off American foreign aid on the West Bank of Israel, the lucrative Lebanese drug trade is in the hands of the Shiite Islamists of Hezbollah. Drugs have turned the Party of Allah into a global narcoterrorist ring with tentacles in Latin America and ties to Marxist narcoterrorists there and up to America and out across Europe and Asia.

These arguments relate mainly to the economy. While that is important enough, what is frequently forgotten in the argument is the future of the military and the Supreme Court (for starters).
It may take only a minority of GOP-conservative-rightwing voters to sit out the election (because they didnt get their supported nominee) to ensure an Obama second term.
There will be vacancies on the SCOTUS in the next four years. Obama would, without doubt, stock it with radicals. Think about it: the Keller and McDonald rulings just barely squeaked through on a 5-4 score. If Obama gets the chance to heavy up the left end of the court, those cases would be re-visited and reversed – count on it.
A second Obama term would end with a SCOTUS that will easily rubber-stamp the nullification of the 2nd amendment, private property rights and the very sovereignty of the nation. And that is, like I said, just for starters.
Jilted Mitt-fans, pouting Newtonians and psycho Paulians are gonna feel really stupid – when the Obama administration morphs from the current disaster into MadMax on HeeHaw.

a Mitt Romney presidency is a victory. A Ron Paul win is a victory. Job one is to defeat a Ted Kennedy or a Barack Obama. We must have patience and never concede an inch or get disgruntled that the ball wasn’t moved pass the goal line on first down.
House investigators say that one Department of Energy (DOE) official tried to aid Solyndra in procuring government contracts that could support the then-ailing company, while President Obama’s campaign bundler — and major Solyndra investor — suggested that military contracts might be a “win win win” for DOE.
In other words, while shoveling half a billion of our money into the green energy blackhole, the “administration” was also looking at forcing the military to shovel some more of our money into the green energy blackhole.
Oh, dang. Did I say ‘blackhole’? How racist of me. Bad Bubba! Fifteen whacks on the nose with a steel-wire brush.
